Jays Roundup - I Drift Away to Another Land

Sleeping dreaming such a simple thing
I think of things that I might be
I see my name go down in history

The Jays were up 10-0 at one point last night. TEN TO NOTHING! Given their struggles this year, that's unbelievable. Not as unbelievable as [amazingly insightful political criticism that will get the knickers of left-wing readers in a knot], but still pretty freaking amazing. We have an extra day to ponder it, as the Jays don't play until Friday.

1. Yesterday's game is one you'll want to read about. You can do so with Spencer Fordin's "Halladay, Wells subdue Royals: Jays score early, often to capture first home series win", Dick Kaegel's "Anderson hit hard in loss to Jays: Royals fall to 1-5 on road trip, 2-12 away from Kauffman", Larry Millson's "Halladay receives solid support", Geoff Baker's "Jays take wood to Royals", and CP's "All is Wells with Jays' bats".

2. Fordin Notes on Halladay pitching on short rest, AAA player Glenn Williams, and a couple of organizational awards. Ryan Roberts is the Organizational Player of the Month and Josh Banks is the pitcher of the month.

3. Jeff Blair talks about some new movie related ads that will be appearing in ballparks in "Spider-Man spins web of controversy: Advertisements for coming movie to be placed on bases at ballparks". Garth Woolsey of the Star has additional details in "Good advertising or simply greed?". Good to see that Major League Baseball can keep up with the other big league sports when it comes to tackyness.

4. Richard Griffin has quite an enjoyable article with "Time to catch up with the Blue Jays". You gotta love any article that starts "Melt the ice, it's Blue Jays season. So, as you scrape the last of the blue paint off your face and remove that Leaf flag that's been flapping off your car window for the past month, we sense that many of you don't know what to do now that your favourite team has been eliminated for the 37th year in a row. We're here to ease your angst." No, Richard, the Leafs won't finish in fourth in their conference. But unlike the Leafs, they will finish ahead of Tampa.
