Henderson Alvarez News

Strange game, as Rangers go 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position before Elvis Andrus comes through with a run-scoring double in the 13th.

For the first time since early May, Rangers starter Colby Lewis enters his start hoping to ride the momentum of a win in his last appearance.

In baseball as in life, that's most often true. Decisions made in haste, knee-jerk reactions to appease fans or owners, attempts to fast forward a perfectly good schedule, tend to be counter-productive. You can look it up.

It's Round Two for the Blue Jays and Texas Rangers this season but that's not what is getting fans in these parts pumped.

The Toronto Blue Jays' Double-A farm team will stay in New Hampshire for at least another two seasons, the club announced Wednesday, nixing Ottawa's hopes of landing a minor-league team affiliated with Canada's only big-league franchise.

Being unemployed for any length of time can be humbling. Just ask Vladimir Guerrero.

One thing that the Toronto Blue Jays have shown this season is that they are consistently inconsistent.

Moore's fastball was dominant. He threw 64 fastballs, averaging over 97 mph and getting a swinging strike nearly 11% of the time.

Had a chance to ask a a couple questions to Jared McDonald, editor of JaysJournal , a site that covers the Toronto Blue Jays and their prospects, just before the start of tonight's game.

Every season for every team seems to have its defining moment. Take the Blue Jays 2011 season.

We've passed the quarter mark of the season and the Jays are 23-19, good for 3rd place in the AL East.

Happy Victoria Day everyone! I will be enjoying this day off away from the computer as much as possible, until game time and the game thread, of course.

We had a chance, Yunel Escobar and Jose Bautista got on base but FrankieMcFrankFrank struck out Edwin Encarnacion , J.P. Arencibia and Eric Thames .

That New York team that slipped out of a playoff position over the weekend was the Yankees - leapfrogged by the Toronto Blue Jays - not the supposedly woeful and cash-poor Mets.

NYM@TOR: Bautista homers down the line in left TORONTO -- The Blue Jays could not complete the sweep on Sunday, as the Mets roughed up Henderson Alvarez early and an eighth-inning rally fell short in a 6-5 loss at Rogers Centre.

Nick Flanagan won the Nationwide Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am for the second time in six years, beating fellow Australian Cameron Percy on Sunday with a par on the third hole of a playoff.

Mike Baxter had three hits and came within a home run of the cycle, Dillon Gee won for the first time in four starts and the New York Mets held on to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 on Sunday.

Mike Baxter had no reason to howl this afternoon. A day removed from his ninth-inning outburst, Baxter powered the Mets offense to a 6-5 victory over Toronto.

Sunday afternoon baseball is hard to beat. There's a full slate on sunshiny games today and the Cardinals and Dodgers close out the week on Sunday Night baseball.

After the Rock and Jock Softball game on Friday Night, expectations were probably pretty low for a Miguel Batista start against the Blue Jays line-up, even if Toronto was resting both Dan Cortez and Lorenzo Lamas.
