From Last Night:

• Dickey finally delivers a strong start as the Jays beat the White Sox
• Wainwright keeps his walk-less streak alive in a 4-3 win over the Phillies
• Derek Jeter suffers a setback, will be out until at least the All Star Break

What I’m Watching Today:

• Halladay looks to stay on track against the Cards (7p Eastern)
• Buchholz faces Shields in the first game at Fenway since the marathon bombings, pending the current manhunt’s resolution (7p Eastern)
• Stephen Strasburg faces Matt Harvey at Citi Field (7p Eastern)

The Big Question:

• How will Halladay fare against a tough lineup after handling the Marlins last week?

We had some close finishes on Thursday that didn’t make the headlines above like the Rays/O’s and Yankees/Dbacks, but the only thing I can talk about here is Strasburg versus Harvey tonight. Easily the most exciting two right handers in the NL right now square off in the same game, which makes for super-appointment television. The problem for me is that I live in North Carolina, so I can’t watch the game. What are you talking about, you ask? Well, NC is in Nationals territory so it’s blacked out on MLB.TV and local cable companies do not carry MASN, so it’s literally impossible to watch the Nats or O’s while remaining within the confines of the law. Someone please call me and describe this game in great detail! I’m pretty sure not letting me watch this game is a violation of my civil liberties.
