on gordon, if he preferred playing for another championship in 2016 to cashing in, i could see him maybe taking a 5-6 year deal for less money than elsewhere with a one year opt out. he wouldn't be giving up too much to do that.

If the Royals take care of business and sweep the Jays, things won't be looking good at all for their playoff hopes. This series is important if we don't want to play them in October.

it's a four game series, i think. pretty hard to sweep those.

The AL playoffs outside of Anaheim, KC, and Minnesota is going to be an illegal stade fest

It would be pretty amazing to take 3-4 this series and take the Tulo/Price wind out of their sails.

We've got Duffy/Cueto/Ventura/Volquez slated for starts. I like our odds of getting 3. We need Yordano to continue the performance he gave last time to have a shot at 4.

Tuesday. He'd be in line to start Sunday, but who knows how they'll slot him in

I'd save him for Monday, since they are trying to catch the Twins. They will probably throw him on Sunday, though.

This series should be really fun. And not fun like the Indians series was (Game 1: we're awesome, you're terrible, Game 2: We're awesome, you're terrible, Game 3: whatever its your best vs our worst pitcher, who cares) but like actual competition fun. Like the earlier Toronto series

Kslim is really tucking out in this thread and he's a Braves fan too. I love it!
why because i love alex and want him to stay? im sure there is a black qb you should be running down somewhere or a job to lose. get rough ridin' lost loser

OMG! You're so adorable. No, because you truly believe athletes have good intentions when it comes to contracts. I like Alex too, but I'm also realistic. Also, cool the eff down, if you insinuate I'm racist one more time because I wanted QB A. to play over QB B. I'm snapping some internet neck! JFC, I didn't even say anything about Banks, I made a smart ass comment about him leaving for an FCS school. Get your crap together.

Oh, I didn't really notice the job comment. Go eff yourself, loser!
