Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
All along the tomb, all along the ruin
The Jays dropped a 6-5 decision to the Devil Rays as a late comeback wasn't enough to pull out the win.
* Recaps:
Blue Jays' comeback falls short - Fordin
Jay rally falls short against D-Rays - Baker
Rookie Bush-whacked - Rutsey
Delgado remains with Jays - Millson
* Notes:
Miller making his way back - Fordin
Blue Jay Watch - Rutsey
Elliot on Baseball - Elliot
* Trade Deadline - JP said that there wasn't much going on, and he was right. Players can still be traded if they clear waivers, but it sounds pretty quiet on that front as well.
Jays stand pat at trade deadline - Fordin
Nothing on Jays plate - Rutsey
* What's it like to hit a home run? Carlos Delgado tells Mike Ulmer. If I watched muted SportsCenter correctly last night (because it's almost unwatchable with volume now) Delgado has homered in his last 5 ABs against Jorge Sosa.
* Greg Maddux, without a lot of fanfare, goes for his 300th win today. While Clemens gets nearly all of the hype, Maddux has arguably been more effective over his career.

Looks like the only way you'll see this game is if you get WGN as it's not going to be shown nationally, or even on Extra Innings. WTF, isn't that what Extra Innings is for???
* Today's Game - Sean Douglass takes the mound for Toronto to be countered with Dewon Brazelton for Tampa. The game is at 1:15, not 7:15 as listed in this article.
