But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
The Jays cruised to a 3-0 victory over the Devil Rays behind the Josh brothers, Towers and Phelps. It was Toronto's 5th consectutive victory over Tampa.
* Recaps:
Phelps powers Towers to win - Fordin
Jay pitching Towers over D-Rays - Baker
Jays' Phelps has power in bunches - Rutsey
Steady Towers comes up big again - Millson
* Notes:
Halladay on the horizon - Fordin
* The trade deadline is 4 pm today. Several trades were made yesterday. It looks like things will remain quiet in Toronto as the GM says "There's nothing going on at all". However, Jeff Blair says there's a 'crack of light through the opening' of the door to a Delgado trade .
* The current plan for Halladay to return is early September, with the goal to get a handful of starts in before the end of the season. Yesterday Halladay joined the team in Tampa.
* Here's a story on Carlos Tosca. Tosca's been the team's manager for a little over 2 years now and I don't think I ever ran across his childhood background.
* Today's Game - David Bush goes to the hill for the Jays while the Rays counter with Jorge Sosa who will fill in for the traded Victor Zambrano.
