And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Angels 5 - Jays 2

  1. Recaps:

  2. Fordin Notes (by Elliott Teaford) on Toronto's veteran players:

      Pride is the overwhelming motivation for first baseman Carlos Delgado during the final weeks of 2004. Delgado, who earned AL Player of the Week honors Tuesday, homered in six of his last 10 games before the Blue Jays began a six-game trip Tuesday.

      After a down season, Delgado said Tuesday he's determined to finish strong.


  3. Ganter Notes on Kerry Ligtenberg and Carlos Delgado:

      Delgado was named American League player of the week yesterday, the first time this year a Blue Jays player has received that honour and the first baseman's ninth such award, a team record.

      For the week, Delgado hit .381 with six runs and seven RBI with three home runs. Also in contention for the award were Anaheim's Garret Anderson (.423, 7 RBI) and Baltimore's Jay Gibbons (.389, 3 HR, 7 RBI) and Rafael Palmeiro (.400, 2 HR, 7 RBI).


  4. In "Crozier content to watch, learn" Mike Ganter talks to the one callup who hasn't started a game yet:

      The slugging first baseman, obtained by the Blue Jays in last month's trade that sent Josh Phelps to the Cleveland Indians, has yet to start a game but has appeared in two since his September call-up.

      While his first start should come against the Texas Rangers later this week in Arlington, Tex., Crozier, 26, is content to sit and watch Carlos Delgado.


  5. Larry Millson talks to injured ace Roy Halladay in "Halladay working his way back:

      Halladay's return is tentatively set for the three-game series against the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium from Sept. 21 to 23.

      "But what game, or if it's going to be that day for sure, I don't know," said Halladay, who is 7-7 and has a 4.35 ERA in 18 starts for the Blue Jays, who opened a three-game series last night in Anaheim, Calif., against the Angels.

      "But I feel good. I'm always trying to get them to maybe try and speed it up a little bit. That's kind of been the target date."

  6. Tonight's 10:05PM EST start in Anaheim: RHP Justin Miller (2-3, 5.64 ERA) vs. RHP Kelvim Escobar (9-9, 4.10 ERA). See MLB.com's game preview.
