7/6-7/8: Can't Start Beating Those Jays

SHARK · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2012 12:56 pm

They may have taken 2 out of 3 last month at U.S. Cellular Field, but the Toronto Blue Jays provide the opposition for the White Sox this weekend at The Cell. The Jays are in last place right now in the AL East, even though they are 42-41 and 8 games behind the Yankees in the division coming in.

The Jays plan on starting 3 straight lefties this weekend, and this is more than likely Omar Vizquel's last visit to U.S. Cellular Field, too. Vizquel, who started 2 of the 3 last month at second base, has dropped hints that he'll retire at the end of this season at age 45.

Here are the pitching matchups for the weekend:

TONIGHT: CSN Plus (CLTV on Most Cable Systems, DIRECTV 666 & 666-1 in HD) & 670 The SCORE/White Sox Radio Network, 7:10p (CT)
TOR: LHP Aaron Laffey (0-0, 2.14 ERA) vs. CHW: RHP Jake Peavy (6-5, 2.96 ERA)

SATURDAY: Comcast SportsNet & 670 The SCORE/White Sox Radio Network, 3:10p (CT)
TOR: LHP Ricky Romero (8-3, 5.35 ERA) vs. CHW: RHP Gavin Floyd (6-8, 4.91 ERA)

SUNDAY: WGN's CW9/WGN America & 670 The SCORE/White Sox Radio Network, 1:10p (CT)
TOR: LHP Brett Cecil (2-1, 5.64 ERA) vs. CHW: RHP Dylan Axelrod (0-1, 4.91 ERA)*

*Subject to Change-According to CHW Manager Robin Ventura

I didn't understand your title. If you remember the Jays' Potato Chips commercials back in the day, mine is a play on words. Back in the day, Jays was "Can't Stop Eating Those Jays".

That's not mine. TP, I don't even know what in the hell that diagram was.

I know SHARK. I didn't think I accused you.

I hope Dr Alex Shigo is a woman, otherwise someone needs to explain why they let a man make a diagram of their peenus.

Canada is known for many things. I wasn't familiar with that kind of lingo you're referring...

The Blue Jays' new uniforms, which are more or less their 1992-1993 uniforms, are terrific.

Yeah, those appear to be the uniforms the Blue Jays won back-to-back World Championships in the early '90s. They definitely went back to the future by going retro this year.

They're a little different, but you'd have to look at them side-by-side to tell. Still, great decision. Their old uniform was awful.

The one they sported the last few years...Absolutely. The one with a Blue Jay and a "J", along with what appeared to be a silver "T" on black caps, not to mention the fancier "Jays" & "Toronto" scripted across the chest...Not good.

I'm thinking that they win 1/3 this weekend, but then again I'm pretty baseball stupid...
