I dare a reporter to ask him if he's gonna take advantage of being the legal drinking age. after the game. See if Trout can top Harper's answer to the "clown question".

And as if the injury situation wasn't bad enough in Toronto, two more pitchers are scheduled for surgery. YAY! Drew Hutchison will undergo Tommy John Surgery on Thursday, and using their "buy 5 tommy john's, get one exploratory surgery free" card from James Andrews, Dustin McGowan will also be going under the knife.

I wish I had a video of Mark Reynolds' swing on that last strikeout. Oliver Perez, yes, that Oliver Perez, just made him look absolutely foolish.

Mark Reynolds - making bad pitchers look unhittable since 2007.

I like it (a lot) when waiver wire fliers turn into Troy Tulowitzki clones. Josh Rutledge, who ARE you?
