According to Jamie Campbell's Sportsnet Blog, Jason Frasor has been sent down and Dustin McGowan has been called up in his place.

Thanks to Bauxite binnister for the heads-up.

Due to some crossed wires, today's series report has been delayed.

In the meantime, here's a photographic summary of last night's game:

This weekend, I will be doing capsule summaries of the AL East minor league systems, as part of the minor league updates, and I need your help. On Saturday, I'll do the Boston and Tampa systems, and on Sunday, the New York and Baltimore systems. This thread is for Boston and Tampa only.

Lansing was the only team to get a victory yesterday behind the bats of Cory Patton and Brian Pettway.

Casey Janssen gets the call to The Show today, which means he's significantly more happy than Delmon Young. Syracuse had the day off, NH and Dunedin bored the hell out of me, but Lansing makes up for it.

The Jays cube the Orioles 8-2 and move to 11-8, one back of the Red Sox.

Billy Carnline gave up a lead off single and decided enough was enough. The affiliates went 2-1 on the night.

The Oriole's hopes of a sweep are dashed… in game 1 of 3.

So, what's going on ?

...but not so much in Syracuse & New Hampshire.

Was it bad luck to schedule the second installment of long-lasting pens with another Josh Towers' start? It sure looked that way early on, when Big Papi homered as the Sox scored 3 in the first. Towers gutted his way into the 6th inning, and the Jays' bats came to life, making a game out of what had the feel of a rout early on. This time, though, the Mighty Troy was unable to come through.

Yes, it's time to put on your G-rated thinking caps, Bauxites, and compete for the coveted Batter's Box No-Prize. You know how there are certain ballplayers, when you say their names under your breath, you feel a little bit like you're swearing?

Let's see if we can't come up with a full roster, along the lines of "25 Names You Shouldn't Say if Your Non-Baseball-Loving Nana is Around." As you might imagine, there are a few rules, not to mention some starter examples ...

Lots of baseball today, Syracuse lose both ends of a DH, New Hampshire splits, Dunedin's bats are hot, and Lansing plays 17 innings in one game.

Lansing and Dunedin won, while rains on the East Coast wiped out the double A and triple A games.
