Jays Roundup - I Made a Break I Run Out Yesterday

Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year maybe no go

My prediction for tonight's game: A 6-5 Jays win due to a strange play or two.

  1. If you're like me and missed almost all of yesterday's game, you'll want to read these: Spencer Fordin's "Blue Jays beat Percival in ninth", Doug Miller's "Angels blow another lead in Toronto", Jeff Blair's "Long ball back as Toronto rallies in ninth", Geoff Baker's "Jays in comeback mode", and CP's "Jays Rally Against Halos".

  2. Fordin Notes on the moves that sent Cash and Cat to the DL, Nakamura to Syracuse and Estalella, Chulk, and Rios to the big club. Please feel free to add your thoughts about the moves to our Blue Jays Roster Moves thread, which already has 30 posts. The Jays were in a tough spot for outfielders with Cat on the DL. Gross can't play the outfield right now due to an arm injury, and Marvin Benard can't be called up without taking someone off the 40-man roster. Still, though, I'd like to see promotions made based on merit, and a guy with an on-base percentage of .292 hasn't earned it.

  3. Here's an article which might warrant some discussion: Richard Griffin's "Only a matter of time until Delgado's dealt: Jay deserves to be sent to a contender".

  4. Tonight's 7:05 PM EST start at the Dome should be a classic. The 7-1 lefty Jarrod Washburn for the 29-17 Angels is facing the defending Cy Young champ Roy Halladay for the 19-27 Blue Jays. As usual, Mr. Fordin has a game preview. Is the Cheer Club planning anything for tonight's game?
