This is no ordinary Instant Replay. This is also a look back at what every Toronto Blue Jay All-Star ever did in the Big Game.

The D-Jays finished the first half in second place behind the Lakeland Tigers, and started the second half well.

Always look on the bright side, right? Well, the title is the bright side. The whole bright side. Otherwise, it was an altogether rotten night for the Blue Jay farm as they dropped 4 of 5 matches.

Why does the baseball have the best all-star game?

The Alomar Division race has two horses, and one horse is a walrus.
Pythagoras wags finger disapprovingly at Barfield’s Pistol Nine as Junior Felix smiles.
Dr. Z’s Magic Papaya Baseball separates from Carter pack.

Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, the first NFH challenge is now final, leaving two more on the go...

And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?

A distinct feeling of Deja Vu.

Some good pitching last night on the farm (2-3 record, though), with one starter striking out 11, another pitching seven shutout innings and one more sort of went the distance. Actually, he didn't pitch a complete game at all. Read on for more.

So there's a little ballgame in Detroit tomorrow, an exhibition, if you will, although This Time (Again) It Counts.

Over the last few weeks, Batter's Box Interactive Magazine authors and readers cast their own ballots regarding who should start the game for the AL and NL squads, and although as of this writing the starting pitchers had not been named, the Box vote agreed with the popular vote in a convincing majority of cases. Let's see ...

These ninth inning comebacks are all very exciting and everything, but I'd rather they result in a win.

I think we're all glad to see the back of Texas as the Jays lose another heartbreaker in Arlington.

I do still, for the record, believe.

Bring on the brand new Renaissance
Cause I think I'm ready
I've been shaking all night long
But my hands are steady

It is Sunday morning, and the doors of the Church of Baseball are always open. And so we pray. May our pitchers always throw strikes and may the wind blow in. Yesterday our youthful minor leaguers faced much adversity on the way to compiling a 2-4 record.

I have a confession to make: I didn't watch this game. Not on TV, not on MLB.tv, not thru the magic of Gamecast or Gamezapper or Gamewhateveritsacraptasticsubstitutionfortv. Did I watch highlights? I did not. Did I read the Instant Replay on Da Box? I did not. Did I know there was a game? Well, that would be appear to be obvious. Nonetheless, all I have is the box score. So what did I learn?
