Yeah, I hate when that happens.

But it will happen, even to the best of them. All you can do is bellow with rage and frustration, and go get 'em the next day. Which would be tonight, actually.

What else you gonna do?

Oh, and I realize some of you might be watching the Leafs - apparently they have an important game tonight - but really, why would you bother? Especially when the Jays are playing against the first-place Devil Rays, the only team in the AL East with a winning record.

The first place Tampa Bay Devil Rays. That's a new sentence, right there. It's remarkable how you can take the same old words and arrange them in combinations that no one has ever seen before. It's pretty cool, I think.

In ex-Jay news, Dave Bush was outstanding once he got settled in against the Cubs. Alas for Dave, he retired only one of the first eight men he faced and his team was trailing 6-0 before they even came to bat.

Finally, the Mets, whom I so shrewdly picked to go 84-78, stomped the crap out of the previously unbeaten Braves last night. The Mets are the only 4-0 team in the majors, but what's grabbed my attention is the fact that they've scored 31 runs and allowed 3. I think their Pythagorean record is something like 6 and -2. This afternoon matches up Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, which is always interesting.
