TDIB June 29: Romeroh No!

Have you guys been watching baseball recently? Personally, I´ve been busy following the craziest tennis match of all-time and, well, this (Go The Netherlands!). But this is a baseballing website, so let´s talk baseball.

Romero was great, as he has been all season long, but the offense couldn´t do anything for him. Not for the first time, and not by a long shot - Romero has a 6-4 record on a year in which he´s pitched to a stellar 2.83 ERA. How does that even happen?

Anyway, the Jays have fallen into a bit of a trough recently, losing two out of three from both the Cardinals and Phillies and dropping the first of a four game set against Cleveland. They now stand eight games back of the Yankees, six back of the Red Sox, and five back of the Rays.

Tonight: the red-hot Brandon Morrow squares off against Fausto Carmona. Sounds like a match-up in the Jays´ favour, but I would have said the same thing about Romero versus Jake Westbrook.
