Brewer-Canadian Relations in the Interleague Era: An Alliance in the Making?
Posted 72 days ago at Bugs & Cranks
At one time, Brewers fans everywhere resented the Toronto Blue Jays and, by association, all of Canada. The Blue Jays, after all, were the only thing standing between the 1992 Brewers and a division title. That year was the last in which Robin...

Game Thread #71: Blue Jays (35-37) at Brewers (37-33)
Posted 72 days ago at Brew Crew Ball
If you only watch one game this week, this is the one to watch. Shaun Marcum isn't exactly a household name, but he's among the AL leaders in just about every pitching category, and at the top of the list for ERA. Ben Sheets is right...

I Don't Want to See It At My Windowsill - Game 73, Jays at Brewers
Posted 72 days ago at Bluebird Banter
Yesterday was not the best day for our heroes, who are now 2 games below .500 and look to be, as we've seen before, really sputtering into the all-star break. They really need to turn things around, but their continued lack of hitting really makes...

Yeah, baby! Parra paces 7-0 win over Jays

Someone cut Manny Parra in my fantasy league a week or two ago (yeah, usually it’s me that gives up on a pitcher early)…he is regretting that move now. Parra continued his impressive performance streak at Miller Park in ‘08,...

These Blue Jays can pitch. Dustin McGowan is the guy Doug Melvin really wanted instead of Zach Jackson (and rightfully so), and he's really coming into his own at age 25. Manny Parra ain't so bad, either. Game time is 7:05 CT, and...

Filed under: Blue Jays , AL East , Toronto A.J. Burnett is probably the least popular man in Toronto right now. His remarks about a potential trade to the Cubs have led to him being called a hoser and worse by Blue Jay watchers. Not far behind,...

Buffery: With Vernon Wells as their leader, the Blue Jays are going nowhere, again
Posted 74 days ago at BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
I haven’t seen such bad Vernon-leadership...since Vernon Presley led his gang to Parchman Farm for cheapo check forging!Wells is hitting an unspectacular .276, and a frustrating .255 with runners in scoring position. He leads the weak-hitting Jays...

Posted 73 days ago at Batter's Box Interactive Magazine
Ice... cold... beer! They're 5-5 in their last 10, which is woefully inadequate when you're chasing a team that never loses. They're now 8.5games off the NL Central pace, and as if that weren't bad enough theyget to deal with a couple of AL East teams...
