So John Northey was lamenting that the GIDPs, among other things, were killing the Jays offense. I looked into the subject, made a few notes, and things got out of hand. Too out of hand to put in a comment...

I'm not going to write about the All-Star Game. Been there, done that.

It's the defending champs, come to our house.

Four New Hampshire pitchers combined on a one hitter. Sem Robberse was the starter and star. Vancouver and Dunedin won one run games. Buffalo played two. They lost game one in extra innings and were blown out in game two.

With one exception it was not a good night for pitchers on the farm with Adam Macko taking the worst beat down. The exception was Rafael Sanchez who fanned 11 for Dunedin. Hagen Danner made an appearance and Tucker Toman had a big night. Dunedin were your only winners.

Once again Vancouver were the only winners and they needed a big eighth inning rally to take the lead. Yosver Zulueta did not pitch well. The other three games were all close affairs.

There was a recent suggestion that we hold a Batters Box get together at a game this season. Our bauxites are spread throughout Canada and the world so it is uncertain how many would be able to make it to a Toronto get together. So lets get some expressions of interest.

The regular season is ready to go. Now it is time to go on the record with your predictions for the season.

The Blue Jays have enjoyed a pleasantly uneventful time in Florida so far.
