Sunday Roundup - Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog

Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again
Where? I don’t know

Yesterday was an ugly game as the Jays dropped a 6-0 decision to the Yankees.

* Recaps
Lilly outdueled by El Duque, Yanks - Fordin
Too much El Duque - Ganter
El Duque handcuffs Jays hitters - Blair
Jays fall victim to patient Yanks - Baker

* Notes
Gross makes Jays debut - Fordin
Blue Jay Watch - Choice Picks in Jays Outfield - Ganter

* More from the Phelps trade for Crozier. This is from Baseball America:

Crozier, 25, was a 41st-round pick out of Norfolk State in 2002, when he led the Mid-Eastern Conference in hitting at .376. His bat is his ticket, especially as his power has emerged with 39 homers in 643 at-bats over the last two seasons. He has played primarily first base, but he also can play left field and has enough arm strength for right.

* Don't know the ins and outs of the trading period in August? Allan Ryan explains in Making waves on the waiver wire

* Never mind the stench — it's just a rotten ball team - Griffin

* Today' Game - El Artista takes the hill for the Jays. The Yankees will send Jon Lieber to the mound. Game starts at 1:05.

Question of the Day:
Based on what you've seen so far, if you could sign Alexis Rios to a contract similar to Hinske and Wells today (5 years, $15 million) would you do it? Are there any other Jays that you'd like to see signed up long term?
