The boys are back in town after a day off. Oakland are in town for four games including a Monday day game. Once Oakland leave town the Red Sox show up for the first of 10 straight games against the AL East.

The A's are in a mini slump, they have lost six of seven.

All eyes will be on Josh Johnson.

King Felix starts for the Mariners.

Jays play in Seattle at 10:10 PM, Dickey vs Iwakuma (2.76 ERA 131 ERA+, 1.3 HR/9 1.4 BB/9, 8.0 K/9).  A few other things happened in MLB today too that you might have heard of, and by the time the Jays play we'll have seen the A-Rod circus go into overdrive while the others suspended are forgotten.

Mark Buehrle vs CJ Wilson. What unusual plays will we see today?

Steve Delabar has been placed on the 15 day DL with shoulder inflammation. It appears that JA Happ will be recalled to take his place.

The Melky-less Jays try and win a game in Anaheim. Last Sunday Todd Redmond faced the Astros and recorded ten strikeouts. The Anaheim lineup will provide a different challenge tonight and a truer test for Redmond. With JA Happ almost ready to come back Redmond is competing with Esmil Rogers and Josh Johnson to see who keeps their spot in the rotation.

Can Buehrle continue his run as the Jays best starter? In April he looked like he was washed up.

Off to the west coast and 10 PM (EST) baseball (ick).  Esmil Rogers (27, RHP, 3-4, 3.74) vs A.J. Griffin (25, RHP, 9-7, 3.84)

Todd Redmond (28, RHP, 1-1, 4.43) for the good guys,  Jarred Cosart (23, RHP, 1-0, 0.60 over 15 IP 2 starts) for the Astros. 

A bit late, but better than never.  Dickey vs Lyles (4.78 ERA 26-58 BB SO ratio in 84 2/3 IP).

Am I late? Buehrle vs Bedard, its like seeing double, except at different speeds.

By now, one thing is obvious: someone else ought to be handling the game threads.

Got to play it, might as well win it...

Say good riddance to the red-hot Rays, and say hello to the red-hot Dodgers.

I've made up my mind to live in memory of the lonesome times.

Something's got me reeling. Stopped me from believing. Turn me around again?
