So the Blue Jays don't have a game tonight. Looking for your baseball fix?

Try some Syracuse SkyChiefs baseball, in this, the first Batter's Box Minor League Game of the Week. Syracuse's Scott Downs, last year's Pacific Coast League Pitcher Of The Year as a member of the Edmonton Trappers, faces off against ex-White Sock James Baldwin of the Ottawa Lynx at 6:00.

Something a little different to go with today's Picture of the Day: a whole bunch of words!

But first, the picture:

Time to once again check in on the college players the Blue Jays may select with their first pick in the June draft.

The Blue Jays are now 16-10 in games for which I’m not writing the Game Report. My 0-3 record as post-game scribe might get me dropped from the rotation.

The Lugnuts scored nine in central Michigan, Sarasota was SOL in the FSL, pitching continues to dominate in Double-A and thanks to Ryan Glynn and Jason Arnold, there was no trouble in Triple-A.

Will someone get Chicago and Cleveland a copy of the script please ?

It's an unusual 3:05 start today, which is nominally getaway day for the Jays even though they have an off day tomorrow. Halladay (4-1, 3.40) takes on Erik Bedard (2-1, 2.84) who had a terrific outing in his last start versus Toronto.

Something about Justin Speier's stance makes me think of Ninjas. Add the black jersey and the picture is complete:

Josh Towers' K/BB ratio may be the talk of the town, but Shaun Marcum and Casey Janssen aren't far behind. It was a 2-2 night on the farm.

Orlando Hudson and Photo of the Day mojo recipient Russ Adams had two hits each, and Miguel Batista earned a fine save, but tonight belonged to Josh Towers.

Can the 15-12 Toronto Blue Jays win their third in a row and guarantee a series win over the finally-put-in-their-place 17-8 Baltimore Orioles?

With the Photo of the Day mojo so freakishly effective that I'm now afraid to talk about it for fear of messing it up, I've been looking through my pictures for some guys who could use a little boost.

So, here's a photograph of Russ Adams that Mrs. Hank likes a lot:

One month into the season, the Fisher Cats sat at an even .500, 11-11. That they won 11 games is a testament to the strength of their starting pitching; that they lost 11 is largely a tribute to how remarkably bad their offence has been.

A disappointing 1-3 night for Toronto’s minor leaguers, and an update on the Three-Star standings.

And it's a good thing J.P. picked them up. Jason Frasor deserves his own river in British Columbia after that masterpiece. Seven batters up, eight outs recorded.

Oh, and Gregg Zaun? Well, I don't care how good or bad any of the catchers in the American League are between now and Tuesday, June 12. Going Going Zaun deserves to go, small sample size and early season fluke be damned. Picture of the Week mojo is powerful.
