Drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
Calling, calling home...

Hope that one won't get stuck in Coach's head like Gary Numan's Cars did yesterday!

  1. Fordin Notes: Lilly finally sees action. He didn't just see action, he got some! A couple of innings worth. Today it's Justin Miller vs. The Bay Rays

  2. Geoff Baker also has a notes column centered around Ted Lilly. Plus A-Rod got "hit in the face by a deflected ball at third base." Police questioned Derek Jeter about his involvement, but Jeter was released after stating "It wasn't me. There's no way I could have gotten to that ball in time".

  3. MLB.com has the game writeup and boxscore of yesterday's 10 inning 5-4 victory over the Phils.

  4. The Sun has the AP game report. If you've been paying attention, you know that it doesn't come with a boxscore.

  5. Jeff Blair states that "Halladay example for other pitchers". Poor Halladay. I always hated it when they made an example out of me at work!

  6. Richard Griffin thinks that there's "Still plenty of question marks in Jays' rotation". Big surprise. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Mr. Griffin is right, Hentgen and Lilly are big question marks. It's one of the reasons why I think talk of 95 wins is premature.

  7. Geoff Baker discusses the new uniforms in "Jays' makeover draws fans' ire". While they're not spectacular, they're far better than what the Jays had last year. If there's one thing synonymous with the Blue Jays, it's ugly pseudo-futuristic uniforms.

  8. Mike Rutsey reports that the Jays are considering having some games on pay per view. Now I gotta figure out which bar is going to be showing them!

  9. Rutsey also gives details about the Jays "Gay Community Day on Friday June 25th.

  10. The Sports Network has a piece on "Toronto Blue Jays Minor League Prospects ".


Thursday Brain Buster: Here's a question that was given to me a long time ago by Steve Landsburg, and I couldn't answer it on the spot. When you throw a pebble into a pond it will produce concentric circular ripples which move outward from the point of impact. Specifically it will generate a series of ripples, in decreasing size. Sound from, say, an explosion, also travels in waves. Then why is it when a firecracker goes off, that we only hear it once? Shouldn't we hear the sound multiple times with each time being slightly quieter than the last?

I'm sure someone with a better knowledge of Applied Math and/or Physics will get it quicker than I did!
