The Jays continue their quest for revenge - a three-game sweep of the Tigers in their park - tonight. Fans in Canada will have radio coverage to look forward to, or else pay nearly 6 dollars for pay-per-view. Our American colleagues with Extra Innings will have a chance to see the game for no additional charge. Gitz, I expect a full report.
Nate Robertson, who pitched very well in relief in Game #2 at Skydome for a 4-inning save, will make his first start of the season against Ted Lilly, a deceptive lefthander with a sneaky fastball.
Completely O.T.
Watching Billy Koch get torched today for four runs in less than an inning of work to blow a 3-run lead and the save (the Sox won it in the bottom of the 9th), I was reminded of how great a trade J.P. made to get Eric Hinske (and Justin Miller) for the troubled flamethrower. Koch's fastball was straight as a string and seemed to be a few MPH slower than in his prime. Because he can't locate his pitches well, he's vulnerable to implosion.
