Game 129: Blue Jays (63-67) vs Yankees (73-55)
Lombard dropped in batting order after 3 Ks! (However, I bet he makes some adjustments today vs outside breaking balls.)
Ramos for MVP!!!!!
Belli back tomorrow??? Who gets the Magic Bus ride to SWB?
This might be what a 3 run lineup looks like -- boy would Weathers be pleased.

You never feel good about a loss, but there was a lot to like here: Our starter left with an injury in the 4th. Their starter had a no-no through 6.2. Nice comeback, tying run in scoring position in the 9th (though Wells failure to put the ball in play and move Chisholm to third was painful to watch). As I wrote earlier, this is You Can't Win 'Em All.
Chat at y'all tomorrow afternoon.
That was a Cuban game. Close but no cigar.
I expected Heliot to hit a long ball, but
Garcia had to hit it for him
Guerrero misses the pitch
misses involuntary manslaughter
