Saturday Roundup - Still don’t know what I was waiting for

And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I’d got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet

A pre-game trade, a fast start for the visitors, a fast start for the home team, and an odd ejection led to an interesting Friday night.

* Game Reviews:
Douglass, Jays struggle in NY - Fordin
Godzilla eats up shaky Toronto pitching - Baker
Quick thumb, Matsui's bat, sink Jays - Ganter
Matsui leads Yankees' rout of Jays - AP

* Josh Phelps was traded to the Indians, as Scott Carson broke the news to Bauxites in last night's game thread. The trade generated a lot of response in Da Box as well as in Syracuse among the SkyChiefs as provided to Da Box by Ed Gonser. Many thanks to Scott and Ed.

* What does the press have to say about the trade?
Jays send DH to Indians for minor-league prospect - Fordin
Jays give up on Phelps - Star (no author listed but I assume it's Griffin given the tone and 'Smurfs' reference)
Phelps sent packing - Ganter
Phelps traded to Cleveland - Blair
Tribe deals for Phelps' righty punch - Hoynes, Cleveland Plain Dealer

* Notes:
Tosca gets creative with 'pen - Fordin
Overtime for Jays Bullpen - Ganter

* Today's Game - Ted Lilly faces his former mates in a 4 pm start. El Duque takes the hill for the Yankees.
