Ho hum. The Jays show what they can do with a couple of timely hits and pull out the finale against the Angels,
4-3. The Jays allowed only 10 runs during the three game set, but of course its the Jays so they scored only 7 and won just once.
Same old, same old.

It's an off-day for the Blue Jays, who open a homestand against the Angels tomorrow.
Everything's a little upside down
As a matter of fact
The wheels have stopped
(Anders needs a pinch-hitter? Here I come, to save the day.)
Anyway, I was watching a House re-run last night (Hugh Laurie is a
Living God, and has been ever since Fry and Laurie) - and what happens at the end of the episode?
Why, Dr Wilson curls up on his couch with either the 1987 or 1988 edition of
the Bill James Baseball Abstract. Cool!
The Jays win their third straight beating the Twins 6 - 5.

Marcum is off to a hot start. Can he keep it up?
I've noticed that esteemed Bauxite emeritus Craig Burley, will from time to time discuss field
managers in terms of their bloodlines. Like horses. Which makes sense, even if they don't actually shoot managers. But as we seem to have been
talking about General Managers a fair bit lately, I thought I'd carry on in a similar vein.
The Jays stormed back to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th against the resurgent Troy Pervical, only to see an Alex Rios leadoff triple in the bottom of the 10th go uncashed. A sac fly from Bossman Junior and a Dioner Navarro grand slam later and that was all she wrote. Those with a need to see the gruesome details can do so,
here.
Five runs in one Inning ? I'm a bit perturbed, these things are precious this year, five is practically a weeks worth, they shouldn't go using them all up at once.

Well, at least the Jays banged out 10 hits last night - only the
third time since April 20th.
I go away for a week and come back and the Jays have something like a 1 ERA over the last week or so. Last night was a
1-0 victory over the White Sox for the first 4 game sweep in 5 years.
It's early days yet, but that Evil Ghost that haunted 2005 seems to have risen from the old crypt and is loose in the Rogers Centre again.
Five runs? Break up the Jays!

During these recent difficult days, I thought it might be helpful if we reflected upon the words of some older, wiser head. Much older than even my own, and much, much wiser:
