Star of the Game: E______ bleepin' L_____ when he's good, I'm sorry to say, he's very good. You can occasionally see why Gord Ash had such a man-crush on him. Anyway, I'm stopping watching him, every time I do he's brilliant, the last game I saw him pitch was this one.
Unsung Hero: Milton Bradley and the Big Hurt did most of the damage to Jays pitching, combining for four hits, two dingers and five RBI.
For the Jays: Erm, well, let's see. Scott Downs was pretty good in his 3.1 scoreless Innings. Let's just move on.
Elsewhere in the East: Tampa Bay beat Texas and handed another win to Shawn Camp as he continues his probably futile chase of Oscar Villareal for the major league lead in cheap wins by a middle reliever. Matt Garza had six shutout Innings against the Orioles which was more than enough to allow the Twins to cruise to a four-one win. Chien-Ming Wang took his win total to 15 and lowered his ERA to a highly respectable 3.80 as the Yankees beat up on Seattle and King Felix. Also on the West Coast, Boston ended their losing streak with a 5-4 win over Kelvim Escobar and the Angels.
Ted: Jeff Blair reports that Ted Lilly didn't make it through waivers, surprise surprise, and was claimed by an AL club..."the Toronto Blue Jays were unable to work out a deal with that team, despite submitting a specific player request."
Organisation Chart: The Triple Steal blog has an organisational Chart for the Jays, like the one Will Young put together for the Twins.
