Jays Roundup - Our Condolences to the Cheek Family

  1. It wasn't a good day for Blue Jays baseball yesterday. First there was the news that Tom Cheek's father passed away from a heart attack.

  2. Then the Jays went out and lost 2-1 in extra innings to the Oakland A's. The details: "Batista pitches well, but Jays fall" by Tony Kuttner, "A's win in extras again" by Mychael Urban, "Batista's effort goes for naught" by Larry Millson, "Jays lose a squeaker in 11th" by Geoff Baker, and "Bats fail Batista" by Mike Rutsey.

  3. Fordin Notes (by Tony Kuttner) has the story you heard from Batter's Box reader Frank first: Halladay is on the DL, and Bob File has been called up to take the roster spot.

  4. Tonight's 10:05 PM EST start features the 0-1 Josh Towers for the 24-30 Blue Jays vs. the 2-3 Canadian Rich Harden for the 29-23. MLB.com has a game preview". As much as we like to see Canadians do well, I hope the Jays and their expansion lineup put a lot of runs on the board.

  5. The Jays will soon be able to field the best rehab team in the history of major league baseball, as the "Jays' disabled list getting crowded". Richard Griffin says that the "Jays' injury bug has silver lining".



If you can, spend some time with your Dad today. Go for a coffee, play some golf, or just give him a call. The ones we love are here for such a short time; we've got to make the most of it.
