Jays Roundup - We Sat Around the Pile

Contributed by: Pepper Moffatt

We sat and laughed.
We sat and laughed and
Waved it into the air!
And we did it just like that.

Seven ribbies for Phelps? If there was ever a way to say "I don't want to see the bench ever again", Josh found it.

So what about the Jays 12-4 victory? Well, this is what: Spencer Fordin's "Phelps awakens in rout of M's", Jim Street's "Mariners' slide reaches five", Bob Elliott's "Grand game by Phelps", CP's "Phelps hits two dingers", Larry Millson's "BASEBALL: BLUE JAYS 12 MARINERS 4" (Did the Globe's headline writers go on strike?), and Allan Ryan's "Phelps takes wood to M's".
Fordin Notes on the Jays use of small ball of lately, which correlates pretty well with the Jays not scoring many runs lately. But remember kids, correlation does not imply causality!
Can the Jays complete the sweep tonight? I certainly like their chances in this battle of righties. The Mariners are sending the 3-7 Ryan Franklin to the hill, while the Jays counter with the 0-1 David Bush. It's a 7:05PM start according to Spencer Fordin's game preview.
In the most important article of the day, Allan Ryan updates us on Tom's condition in "Cheek puzzles over crosswords, life during rehab". Very glad to hear he's doing well.

Did you know? Despite this season we'd all like to forget, the Jays are only 9 games out of a playoff spot?
