The Jays have been really good at drawing teams that are on big winning streaks. The Angels of Anaheim are no exception; they just swept Baltimore, and their pitching staff is on fire.

For the first time in a while, the Jays have an opportunity to play spoiler. If that's not enough to get you to watch, perhaps Sunday's pitching matchup is.

On to the Advance Scout!

Both Lansing and Dunedin advanced to the next round of their playoffs with exciting one-run wins. Dunedin swept Fort Myers in extra innings, while Lansing got out to a lead and refused to relinquish it.

As Craig Burley determined, Jason Phillips is the slowest active player in major league baseball.  So what's he doing in this picture?  Looks like he's trying to steal a base...

The Jays win another close one with Cleveland

I suppose I could have gone with "2 1 4-3", but that takes us away from a minor league update headline and into an obnoxious text-messaging language. Both Dunedin's and Lansing's playoff games ended with a score of 4-3 -- but who won?

Today's photo features Victor Martinez sliding into second base.  In the background, Aaron Hill appears to have his foot on the bag and the ball in his glove -- and is there a little bit of space between Martinez and second?  Was he out?

Anibal Sanchez threw a no-hitter tonight against the Diamondbacks. This was the first no-hitter since Randy Johnson threw one in May, 2004.

So naturally the Unit isn't happy about it and is throwing a no-hitter himself. The Royals are hitless through 6 innings.

The Jays blow a Halladay game for the 6th time this season.

An 8th inning run for Fort Myers was the difference as they take a 1-0 lead over Dunedin in the best of three series.

Here's Roy Halladay from Tuesday's Jays-Indians tilt, clearly upset by the umpire's call:

Going through Jesse Barfield's double plays on Retrosheet for a research project, Craig B came across this now-forgotten gem in the game log...

Death By Statistics

3 wins in 4 tries for Toronto’s affiliates.

This fall, the Blue Jays will be contributing players to the Phoenix Desert Dogs instead of the Peoria Saguaros in the Arizona Fall League. Pitchers Kyle Yates, Tracey Thorpe, Jordan De Jong and Danny Hill, along with catcher Curtis Thigpen and infielders Chip Cannon and Ryan Klosterman have been named to the club. Tom Signore will be the Desert Dog pitching coach.
