vs. BLUE JAYS, 5/23

[elextrano8]

Do they seriously play a bullhorn sound when the Jays win?

[callahan09]

Well that was terrible. I didn't think I would see a worse game than the 12-10 game but this tops that for me. Ugh

[Art Wing]

Technically, you're right, but when your bullpen allows an average of 4.48 runs per game when the league average is 4.43 (not counting tonight, of course), I'd say that its more accurately described as slightly below average.

Then how is he technically right? Our bullpen is about league average.

Beat the Yankees and the game thread goes 35. Lose to the Jays and it goes 56+. Negativity is contagious.

I'm kinda worried about this series. The Jays have an explosive offense and they're hot.

"You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later."

I disappointed that I didn't think of that one - I was even thinking of saving a link to a youtube clip of the "smell of victory" speech earlier today to post next time we actually win - or something happens involving napalm, Robert Duvall, or Martin Sheen.

Monday night was pretty bad.

The Orioles are wasting a great offense and a great defense this season (today's miscues notwithstanding) with their incredible unpreparedness on pitching. And the only injury they had was Wei In Chen (sp).

Maybe more intererst in Gausman going tonight.

If you are below average, you can technically be described as one of the worst in the league. My point was that it's at best inaccurate, at least misleading.

Nah, Gausman pitching increased interest.

So we are the best of the worst 14 teams in one major statistical category. In other words, we're about league average.

Dude why are you trying to argue with me when we are saying the exact same thing?

Now this is my first year back watching baseball after many years--so I have no context from years past in this division. Are the Jays really hot? Are are they just mediocre, who beat an inexperienced new pitcher?
