Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for
hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its
own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.
The comeback falls short. Jays lose 6-5. The Jays now trail Tampa by 2.5 games with 7 games remaining. With a 9:15 curfew the game was close to ending in a tie which would have been quite the oddity.
Recaps:
* Jays' late rally falls short - Gagliano
Perhaps the Devil Rays are just using their home turf to exact some revenge on the rookie. They selected Bush with their fourth-round pick in the 2001 draft, though Bush declined to sign and returned to Wake Forest University. A year later, he signed with the Blue Jays after being taken in the (second) round.
* Blue Jays blown off course - Baker
(The game) only finished 39 minutes before the imposed curfew because of a leadoff walk issued in the ninth by Jays closer Miguel Batista to Midre Cummings. Batista threw away an ensuing bunt by Rocco Baldelli at first base for an error that moved the runners up and allowed Blum to atone for his fielding miscue with a one-out, game-clinching sacrifice fly.
Jays get out with a loss - Rutsey
David Bush, who two-hit the Rays over six innings in his previous start, came up with a lacklustre effort and was lifted by Gibbons after Bush gave up five runs in 3 2/3 innings.
"I didn't think he had much," Gibbons said of Bush. "He had trouble locating his fastball and trouble with lefties. It wasn't his night."
* Rays Win With Time to Spare - AP
Dewon Brazelton took a two-hitter into the eighth inning for Tampa Bay and Cummings hit his first major league homer in four years.
Notes:
* Jeanne throws a curve - Gagliano
The team wants to focus on Roy Halladay and his right shoulder. The reigning American League Cy Young Award winner pitched four innings against the Yankees on Tuesday after missing two months with fatigue in his pitching arm. The team doesn't want to do anything to disrupt his schedule, so Halladay and Ted Lilly will stay on schedule, while Chacin will wait until Wednesday to pitch his second big league game.
* Blue Jay Watch - Rutsey
In Friday's 4-2 loss, Jays right fielder Alex Rios made a perfect throw to third to catch the speedy Carl Crawford attempting to advance from second on a fly out.
It was the 11th outfield assist by Rios, which is tops on the team and tops among all rookies. Heading into last night's game against Tampa, Rios was in a six-way tie for second place in the league, one back of the 12 recorded by Detroit's Bobby Higginson.
* Elliot on Baseball - Elliot
The baseball hotbed of Venezuela has produced 159 major leaguers (as a point of reference Canada has produced 221). Luis Aparicio, Wilson Alvarez, Omar Daal and the redoubtable Willie Canate are all from Maracaibo.
Quiroz is the 15th Maracaibo resident to make the majors and Chacin is the 16th from the city of 1.2 million.
* Today Game: Cancelled, and will not be made up.
