You remember that Simpsons scene when Homer, Bart and Lisa are celebrating in the car after Church, "Its the best time of the week - the longest possible time to more Church!".  That's always how I feel when a Yankee series ends, the Jays don't see them again now until the last series before the All Star Break. 

A bit of a blah game last night, the Jays never really looked to be in it, or particularly into it, after the first couple of frames.  The Yankees got one of Mussina's throwback nights, he really looked pretty good, seemed to have a bit more zip on his pitches than normal and he's somehow now tied for the AL lead in wins - a big no-prize to anyone who saw that coming.  For the Jays Litsch's great recent run came to an end, he's been 5-0 with a 1.66 ERA over his last six starts. Jesse didn't look too bad last night, but he was a notch below where's he been recently, and in that area where he's going to need some run support to win.  The offense unfortunately didn't come through for him, it was a pretty flat effort all around with only Rios looking lively - maybe he's worried Gibby reads John Brattain's columns.

Game Day:  Businessman's special at 1:05.  McGowan takes on the struggling Chien Ming Wang.
