I’m going to post this early. I was out all afternoon at a birthday party, which was very nice, but, as a devote introvert, that was a long time to be social. I need to lay out for a bit.

Welcome to today’s must win game.

Visit biznow.biz for more information.

There was a little bit of news this afternoon. The team announced that Trey Yesavage will pitch on Monday vs. the Orioles. He’ll be starting they say. And tomorrow is a bullpen day.

On the Rangers’ side, they are bringing Adam Macko back up to the majors.

Tonight’s lineup. No Clement today.

Go Jays Go.
