Jays win a series Against the high flying Angels too

Of course I went to the game they bloody lost.

Jays getting owned by the Rays yet again. They totally have our number.

Still, there plenty of reasons to keep watching (in no particular order)...

1 Travis Snider - looking like he belongs in the big league
2 Randy Ruiz - for making JP look like a prize tool (not that he needs much help in that department) and proving that big men can hustle
3 Aaron Hill - just hit the 30 HR mark, amazing season for Aaron
4 Ricky Romero - still in with a shout of ROY and can be devastating when he gets on a roll
5 Josh Roenicke - gets better with every outting of relief and is making the Rolen trade look like we got much more than a salary dump out of it
6 Last chance to see Johnny Mac in a Jays uniform on those rare occasions they actually let him play

So....am I the only one who's still watching baseball? It's been awfully quiet on here lately.

I've not been able to watch it since Setanta went.

That's too bad. Any chance of it being picked up by another channel?

There's not been a lot of MLB games on ESPNA for the last week as the channel is full of 12 year olds playing baseball(who wants to watch little kids playing baseball)plus like in the US it's starting to become the Red Sox/Yankees channel.

I don't think many people actually watch them to be honest, used to like the 6pm games, or the triple headers.

I can't afford the subscription to ESPN America, I'll probably get it for the World Series.

It's a shame 5 dropped their coverage really.

You can get mlb.tv for the rest of the year for $35. Might be worth a look. I expect there'll be a fair few day games in Sept as teams make up for all the rained off games.

Jays actually avoided the sweep last night and young Rzepczynski pitched pretty well. I really like this lad, he has a great work ethic. A chip off the old Doc, you could say.

Thanks to a wild pitch we managed a super-rare come from behind walk-off win too. Not seen much of that this season.

Added bonus for me that Mac got a rare start at 3rd and made a couple of great defensive plays. It's so worth putting up with his dodgy bat to see that every day. Shame the Jays management don't see it that way.

I'd hang on until September for mlbtv because it was only $19.99 for the remainder of the season last year at the same time.

The Reds have finally won two games in a row for the first since I can't remember lol. Probably the first time since the All-Star break.
