un in the eighth as Brock Antworten

TORONTO – Now would be a good time to start stocking the clubhouses in Baltimore, Detroit, Seattle, New York and Cleveland with extra beer and fried chicken. It will take an Orioles collapse the likes of the 2011 Red Sox for the Blue Jays to emerge American League East champions. The wild card scene, littered with the clubs mentioned above, is cluttered and becomes increasingly complicated the more teams jump between the Jays and the lead dog. The math is simple. Entering Fridays play, the Tigers, leading the second wild card spot by a half-game over the Mariners, were on a percentage pace to win 88 games. In order to get to 88 victories, likely the bare minimum of what it would take to make the postseason, the Jays must go 23-12 over their final 35 games. Thats a winning percentage of .657. The math is daunting. The manager, the coaches and the players know the math. But knowing the math and dwelling on the math, they insist, are two different things. "No, I wasnt very good at math," joked manager John Gibbons. "Actually that was my best subject in school but nobody knows what its going to take; just go out and win some games." "I know that we need to play better than we have been playing," said Adam Lind. "Its still August. There are still a lot of games left, whether it makes it easier or not for us to get into the playoffs. There are still too many games left to start thinking about the end." The Jays are back in Toronto for the longest remaining home stand of the season and the second-longest overall. The club will play nine games against three divisional rivals. First, the Rays come to town and theyll be followed by Boston, an off-day on Thursday and then New York. Working off the need to play at least .657 baseball the rest of the way, The Blue Jays must win at least six of nine (.666) on this home stand. "This is when you find out what players are made of when you get challenges like that," said Dioner Navarro. "Lets see what happens. Weve got Eddie back, Lindy back. Weve got five more weeks to play hard and try to accomplish something that hasnt been accomplished in 20-something years." Since theres no carryover in baseball, the Jays can only hope the offensive slump which temporarily ended in Wednesdays 9-5 win over the Brewers is a sign of things to come. "Were in a pretty good frame of mind. Thats never really been a problem with this group," said Gibbons. "Every games important." The Blue Jays need a strong finish to make the playoffs. Failing a postseason appearance, a strong finish and meaningful games deep into September would set a better tone heading into spring training, multiple players said. Another player confided to TSN.ca what should be considered obvious when factoring in the human subconscious: its easier to want to be at the ballpark everyday, late in the season, when theres something on the line. The aches and pains which accumulate over a long year, exacerbated by Rogers Centres decrepit turf, would not only be more easily tolerated but would go ignored if a playoff spot is in reach. Questions about a starting rotation, full of them in spring, are resurfacing now that the group appears to be regressing. The club is waiting for the recent returns of Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Lind to help bolster an offence thats hit only nine home runs this month. The problem is the waiting and the fact that there isnt any time left to wait. The turnaround, if its to happen, must begin now. Discount Yeezys . -- The Oakland Raiders expect to have starting right tackle Tony Pashos back for Sundays game against the Houston Texans. Cheap Yeezys Real . Coaches are now allowed to challenge both called and potential defensive pass interference fouls under certain conditions. http://www.wholesaleyeezy.com/. Once again, the third baseman delivered in a big spot. Ramirez kept up his torrid hitting with a two-run homer to help back Wily Peraltas solid start, and the Brewers extended their winning streak to seven with a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. Wholesale Yeezy Boost . Future Hall of Famer Ricky Ray is in his prime and back for a third season in double blue. The 34-year old was magnificent in 2013, throwing for just under 2,900 yards despite missing eight games, tossing an impressive 21 touchdowns against just two interceptions, completing 66 per cent of his passes in the process. Wholesale Yeezy Shoes . Buffalos defensive co-ordinator had his second interview with Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner on Tuesday night, a person familiar with the Browns plans told The Associated Press.The Lincoln Saltdogs didnt do much against Winnipeg Goldeyes starter Ethan Hollingsworth, but they didnt have to. The Goldeyes couldnt solve the mystery of Marquis Fleming and fell 3-2 to the visitors on a cold, wet night at Shaw Park. In fact, after two and a half innings of action, the skies opened and there was an 81-minute rain delay. The two teams split the first two games and will head to Haymarket Park in Lincoln for the final three games (if necessary). The delay seemed to affect the Goldeyes more than Lincoln. The Saltdogs were leading 2-0 when the rain came and they added to their advantage before the Goldeyes started to scratch away. Trouble was, the Goldeyes couldnt get anything going until Donnie Webb hit a solo homer in the seventh. The Fish added a run in the eighth as Brock Bond scored on a ground out by Tyler Kuhn, but that was all the Fish could muster. The Goldeyes left a runner in scoring position in five different innings. "I thought we played pretty well, but they just got a better pitching performance than we did tonight," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "Thats not to take anything awayy from Ethan (Hollingsworth).dddddddddddd. I thought he was terrific tonight, especially considering the elements, but Fleming was really good. He mixed up his pitches and kept the ball down in the strike zone. He was the difference tonight." Lincoln scored a run in the second on a double by former Goldeye Brian Joynt and an RBI single by Brandon Pinckney and then the visitors added a run in the third on a double by Tyler Smith and an RBI single by Matt Forgatch. It was 2-0 when the tarp was rolled out onto the field. Lincoln added to its lead and scored the eventual winning run in the fifth on a single by Chad Mozingo and an RBI fielders choice ground ball off the bat of Ian Gac. Fleming (1-0, 1.29 ERA), who allowed only one run on six scattered hits, picked up the victory for Lincoln while Hollingsworth (0-1, 3.86 ERA) suffered the loss. The league leader in saves this season, Marshall Schuler, picked up his first save of the post-season. The Saltdogs finished with three runs on 11 hits while the Goldeyes had two runs on eight hits. Catcher Luis Alen had three of them while Casey Haerther had two. ' ' '
