Jays 5 - Yankees 4

Boxscore

  1. Recaps:


  2. Fordin Notes on Gustavo Chacin's windup, Justin Miller's demotion to the pen, and the O-Dog:

      A long-term contract extension for Orlando Hudson will likely be high on the team's list of offseason priorities. The second baseman has become a solid contender for the Gold Glove at his position, and he's one of the only plus defenders Toronto trots out on a daily basis.

      J.P. Ricciardi, the general manager of the Blue Jays, said he expects to work something out with Hudson's agent. He also said negotiations haven't started yet and that he plans on picking them up shortly after the offseason starts.

      The Jays already have three players -- Roy Halladay, Eric Hinske and Vernon Wells -- locked up to extensions. Most of the team's homegrown prospects fit into two categories. They're either too young to command major money or Toronto isn't willing to commit just yet.

    That'd be great news for Jays fans. Other than possibly Reed Johnson, Hudson is the most exciting player on this team. Any guesses on how much Hudson will get?

    Has Fordin once again scooped the other writers? You'd think this would be big news.

  3. Rutsey Notes on a ticket price reduction and Brandon League:

      League, who throws consistently in the high 90s, came on with one on and one out and immediately got in a jam as he walked Derek Jeter on four pitches and had Alex Rodriguez reach on an infield single.

      League, impressively, didn't start to hyper-ventilate or panic as he came back to strike out Gary Sheffield before retiring Bernie Williams on a grounder to first.

      "He's a loose kid with a great arm," interim manager John Gibbons enthused. "He shut them down and that was the game right there."
