See, that's not fair, because I would have said "hit into a double play" if I didn't know there were two outs.
Blue Jays get 1st and 2nd, none out, with the top of the order up, and don't score. Sheeeeit.
The Jays never win these low-scoring games, for some reason. Hopefully, they can do something against the Marlins bullpen, but since this would give them a season-high FOUR game win streak if they pulled this out, I'm not very optimistic.
Brind'Amour would be my choice. Ward was good, but he wasn't dominant, like Conn Smythe-winning goalies tend to be.
Interesting question...if Edmonton wins, and remembering that it's the award for playoff MVP and not finals MVP, would you still give the Conn Smythe to Roloson?
I just found out that MLB.com's "maximum" of 25 online All-Star ballots is just a suggestion. I lost count at 50.
This year was the first year I've ever put a write-in candidate on my ballot (Alex Rios, only 4th in the league in OPS).
I'm watching the Mariners/A's game on FSN Northwest. I have to say, they have a great announce team, especially Dave Henderson. One of the best analysts I've heard. I could listen to him all day.
OMG MADDOX TO THE YANKEEEEESSS!!! MELKY CABRERA ST8 UP!!
Lets see if the Cubs want to trade with the Os again..reunite Maddux with Mazzone. I dont know who the Os would have to offer for him though.
What would the Os gain by trading a young guy for a pitcher with only a year or two left at best? They're not going anywhere this year. Maddux would get shelled in the AL at this point in his career anyway.
Fun stat: the Blue Jays are 27th in the majors in IP by starters. And they have a starter who's pitched into the ninth inning four times. Take Halladay out, and this team is only ahead of the Royals.
The trend continues tonight, as Scott Downs went only two innings.
