Let's hope Kelvim Escobar can reverse his unfortunate trend of pitching worse at SkyDome than anywhere else, and rise to the occasion. He was very good at home against the potent Rangers August 9, so it's not impossible. On the other hand, Kelvim is a very shaky 1-1 with an ERA of 11.88 vs. the Yankees this year. Maybe the new J-bird will inspire him.
Reed Johnson gets a night off; leadoff man Frank Catalanotto is 429/459/743 with two HRs and five doubles in 35 AB off Mike Mussina, a Jays nemesis for years. Kevin Cash also sits; Greg Myers is behind the plate. That means Josh Phelps is the DH against a tough righthander. Good call. Mike Bordick is at SS, batting second.
