Kris Benson did it again, but alas, Scott Downs didn't. At the
intersection of these two unfortunate events was an uninspiring, writer's block-inducing 7-2 loss
that puts the Jays squarely between Daniel Cabrera and a hard place.
We have all said our piece about the Hinske trade, and they did play a ballgame last night in Tampa we could talk about. Facing Scott Kazmir, the Jays smartly decided to work counts and find their way into the yummy Tampa bullpen. It worked.
After an off-day, the Jays continue the road trip with three games in Tampa Bay and three in Baltimore. Meanwhile, things are tightening up in the other league.

A bullpen implosion makes short work of a strong outing from a rookie starter.
That's more like it

I can't give it up
I dose my mind
I can't get enough
I'm in no shape
I gotta turn it off
Just let it play...
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
The heart of the White Sox lineup is a patient, powerful animal.
That must be what it feels like to be rooting for the opposition when Doc pitches.

Even the awesomeness of Huston Street couldn't make that game any better. Good thing I missed most of it.

John McDonald was a 12th round pick out of Providence in 1996, so making the big leagues was a long shot for him from the get-go. On the strength of his excellent defence, he beat the odds and got his first taste of the Show in 1999 with Cleveland. Since then he’s been up and down between the minors and the majors, been a backup infielder, been non-tendered, been traded for himself. With over 5 years of Major League service time, he’s earning relative chump change – half a million dollars. And last night, he did something he’s probably dreamed of since Little League: he hit a grand slam.
Once again, here's Alex Obal to tell us about This Day In Baseball:
On paper, Ted Lilly against Chien-Ming Wang looked like the most
intriguing pitching matchup of the weekend, and it didn’t disappoint.
