Recap: Blue Jays (19-20) snap 3 game slide with 7-3 win over Angels (19-18)
Mark Buehrle did it again. Like he has all season, he spotted his stuff and got swings on pitches that caught just enough, but not too much of the plate. Although, to say he was fooling Angels hitters tonight would be a bit of a stretch. Over 6+ innings of work, Buehrle allowed 6 hits,…

That was fun. 12 runs, 5 home runs, a solid start from “ace” R.A. Dickey, a perfect inning and a third from Marcus “the saviour” Stroman. All combining to give the Jays a 4 game sweep of the Phillies and their 5th win in a row. And hey, don’t look now, but the Blue Jays…

Preview: Blue Jays, It’s Your Turn
It’s been four days since the Toronto Raptors were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, and their improbably successful season came to an emotional hault. The time is now for the Blue Jays to take the torch, and run with it. This city is already aroused for a winner. It united as one behind an underdog…

Recap: Phillies 0 vs Blue Jays 10 – Or Buehrle, Bats Send Phillies Back to 2008.
(CP) No, I’m the ace of the Blue Jays! No, I am! No, I AM! A simplistic (and arguably childish) description of the Blue Jays’ rotation at current. R.A. Dickey, while he hasn’t pitched like one consistently, was acquired to lead this rotation, but I spoke last night about how Drew Hutchison was pitching like…

Recap: Blue Jays 6 vs Phillies 5 (10 inn) – Or: Stroman’s First Career Victory!
(Thank you Matt Slocum/Associated Press) It’s a sweep (kind of)! And Marcus Stroman got his first career win (after the Jays blew another 5-0 lead) in a 6-5 extra innings victory.

Recap: Blue Jays 3 @ Phillies 0 – Or Jose and J.A. will the Jays to Victor…ay?
To quote the fictional philosopher, Ace Ventura, “Take care, now. Bye-bye then.” This message was hilariously mimed by Jose Bautista after the game’s final out to silence his taunting critics in the right field bleachers. But it also served symbolic as the Jays silenced…
