Dunedin won both ends of a doubleheader allowing just one run between both games.  The GCL Jays supplied the only other win with two come from behind rallies.

The Jays waste a fine effort from Jesse Litsch upon his return from purgatory (AAA). The bullpen implodes - let's take a closer look at that.

Even though the batters barely showed up, Lansing managed the only win on the night thanks to some great pitching from a trio of left-handers. All the other affiliates disappointed.

This isn't our regular "Trivia Challenge" as there is just one question involved and we're out to build an All-Time Team of a certain era of players who suited up for just one team in their careers. You're already ahead of me here, right? Banks at shortstop, Bench catching, Walter Johnson on the mound ....

Well, hold on just a minute there. Here are the rules ... 

Per Sportsnet.

Three wins and four losses.  Brad Mills delivered another excellent start as New Hampshire won.  Syracuse, Dunedin and Lansing lost.  Auburn won and the GCL Jays split a pair as Jon Talley hit a pair of home runs in the win.

Purcey had been alternating decent starts with terrible starts for the big club this year, and yesterday he was due a bad one.  Instead he was lights out, he threw six shoutout frames and allowed just five baserunners - comfortably his best Major League start of the year.

The Jays number one hitting prospect connected for his first home run in AAA but their top pitching prospect didn't fare nearly as well in fantastic Frontier Field.  New Hampshire split a doubleheader, the GCL Jays got swept in theirs, Dunedin won and everyone else lost in an ugly 2-and-6 night for the affiliates.

It's late in the season but nothing is decided in the BBFL, this week sees new leaders in Alomar and Barfield.

Just over six weeks left. The battles for post-season positions are coming and the Blue Jays are right in the thick of it!

After all, they have many games to play against almost all the teams that actually have a legitimate chance to make it...

A quiet night in the minors as Syracuse and NH had the day off. The remaining 4 affiliates split their 4 games.

Jesse Litsch has been recalled and returns to the starting rotation. To make room, John Parrish has been optioned to Syracuse (Parrish still has options?) and Scott Richmond will work out of the bullpen.

The headline says it all.

I logged on this morning to check out the Minor League Update.  When it wasn't there I realized it was because Sunday's my day to report.  Whoops.

 In any event, one of two things happened to each affiliate yesterday:  They either didn't play or they scored five runs and won.  If the anticipation of knowing who did what is killing you, just click 'more'.

They say that money can't buy love in this world
But it'll get you a half-pound of cocaine and a sixteen-year old girl
And a great big long limousine on a hot September night
Now that may not be love, but it is all right

We had a brief glance at the evolving AL payrolls a few days back. It was suggested that we should see how they do these things in the Other League.
