Game 143 Overflow Thread

PrintThis game just fell off the table, with Justin Verlander suddenly pitching batting practice in the fifth inning. The Blue Jays feasted on those hanging breaking balls. But there's still two innings for the Tigers to mount a comeback. Has optimism left the building?
Blue Jays 5, Tigers 2 heading to the bottom of the eighth.

Okay, Toronto's got a really good offense and a really good bullpen
How are they that many games under .500?

Too many games
Against the Yankees, Red Sox, and the Rays (before we broke them).

apparently scott downs had a toe injury this year
and it is referred to as his “great toe” aka big toe. mario and rod wouldnt shut up about it
Mario and Rod just don't want to talk about this awful game anymore
and can you blame them?

They've been loopy ever since Mario broke his headset

maybe the ball did more than graze him
Concussion?

This is horrible.
It’s like the whole team decided to take the night off because JV was pitching. I’m probably just frustrated, but we just haven’t mounted any kind of resistance since very early.
Is JV himself included in that sentiment?
What’s his excuse?

odd coincidence
The Loons are also tied – but it’s 3-3 going into the 9th inning (and the officiating has been garbage for both teams).

Sadness. :( :( :( :(
Still, it was an awesome, awesome season – and they forced the best team in the league to three games, two of them extra innings before they could advance to the finals. I’m so proud of them.
But this is just so disappointing right now.
