Jays edge Indians

Rob isn't giving you a TDIB Sunday beause he's incommunicado or something. So let's hand out some hardware. They don't let me vote, but...

The best start of Kyle Snyder's still-promising career runs the Jays' losing streak to five.

So near, yet so far. Jays lose in the tenth.

Gustavo looks a lot better than he did in his first start back from the DL, but C.C. looks like an ace and Gus has to leave with an injury.

The Jays were again undone by poor starting pitching and the double play.

Royals 2, Jays 0 as Roy Halladay comes out on the wrong end of a shutout for a change.

Shaun Marcum rights himself and the Jays take the all-important first game of the series.

That didn't quite go according to plan.

The calm after the storm sees the Jays top the A’s in unremarkable fashion.

When it rains, it pours.

You...you're kidding, right?

Kris Benson did it again, but alas, Scott Downs didn't. At the intersection of these two unfortunate events was an uninspiring, writer's block-inducing 7-2 loss that puts the Jays squarely between Daniel Cabrera and a hard place.

We have all said our piece about the Hinske trade, and they did play a ballgame last night in Tampa we could talk about. Facing Scott Kazmir, the Jays smartly decided to work counts and find their way into the yummy Tampa bullpen. It worked.

After an off-day, the Jays continue the road trip with three games in Tampa Bay and three in Baltimore. Meanwhile, things are tightening up in the other league.
