[GIN ANTONIC]

Any room on the Jays bandwagon?

We are always accepting new members.

Angel Hernandez doing playoff games

12:45 start time is bull ****.

Damn it I got class at 1. Go Yankees?

 

[Hire Sather]

Would be pissed to not get at least one night game if I'm a Jays fan.

 

[LeafsNation75]

What I don't like is that for Game 3 it's scheduled to start at 8:00 PM EST on Sunday, however for Games 1 & 2 Toronto is forced to have the early starts.

Toronto will be only east time zone team for games 1 and 2. With other series in kansas city, st louis and los Angeles. Games 3 and 4 Sunday thru Wednesday are in new york, Pittsburgh and new york making texas the western most team getting the latest game

For cripe sakes. Watch these games all year and come playoff time I'm going to miss games one and two. How many weekday afternoon home games do the Jays play during the regular season? Why now in the playoffs?

TV $$$$$$$

But yeah Jays should hopefully be primetime for Game 4 (or they don't stagger starts that day and everyone becomes rightfully pissed at American TV)

there's always an early afternoon baseball game in the divisional round.

they should have run it through toronto first, obviously. only primetime for them.

they are only east coast team that has a home game for games 1 and 2 so it has to be them

 

[robert terwilliger]

pretty much.

i think the giants had games starting at 9am and noon pacific last year because they opened in washington in the lds.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Yeah, it kinda sucks but so ****ing what? It's the God damned playoffs. We really can ***** about anything can't we?

Great, the Jays are stuck with that idiot Marquez, at least he's not behind the plate.

 

[Edo]

The last little bit has been horrid. Pennington has made some brain dead plays as of late and if I see EE with a fielding glove on I'm gonna blow anthrax into Gibbons face.

The Jays defense has been a huge strength. The only issue you really have is in left with Revere's weak arm. Gibbons has been running DD-Tulo-Goins-Smoak in the middle infield with a great defensive catcher in Martin.

Could it even be the best defense in the majors?

Pretty much.

Am I blind or is Jin Joyce not listed for any of the umpiring crews?

Nope not listed. Im not familiar with the umpires setup but could he have a higher promotion and be working a higher series or do they choose from the umpires in the division series?

 

[nilan30]

We sure can. Not being able to watch the games is pretty ***** worthy I'd say.

 

[robert terwilliger]

they should have just polled all jays fans and setup the playoff schedule around them, i agree.

 

[Halladay]

Only pitcher I cant see any potential of getting bombed in this series is Price. This is going to be highscoring. Fielder is the X factor.
