If Burrell comes here, he isn't playing left field. That man may be the worst LF in all of baseball.

Hah, OK, just making sure. I'd be a lot more confident with Lind/Snider sharing duties in Left.

Game rained out means we play 7 games in 5 days. Which probably means starting Purcey, Richmond and Parrish in Boston. Yikes.

If the Jays win a game with that rotation against Boston i'll pray at the altar of Cito and co.

They say now that if we somehow end up in striking distance of Boston going into that series Doc will start the Sunday game on short rest.

Interesting stuff here. It's a comparison of Halladay and Lee via the Drunk Jays Fans blog.

Warning language

Rotation lines up like this if the Jays do well in Chicago

Tues aft: Burnett
Tues night: Litsch
Wed: Halladay
Thurs: Marcum
Fri: Purcey
Sat aft: Richmond
Sat night: Burnett
Sun: Halladay

Yay 3 days rest

I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with Ryan he started off VERY shaky this afternoon. At least he got the job done. I'm also surprised that the Jays record for most games won in a row is 11. This has been a pretty consistently good franchise. One would think they'd have ripped off a 15 gamer at some point.

You got to love the calmness and composure of this team under Cito. If this game was played with Gibby as manager I don't think they would've been able to hang on for the victory. I mean, two, TWO Johnny Mac errors!

LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!

Stat of the Day: The last time through the rotation the starters have allowed a combined 1 earned run. They're on a hot streak like earlier in the season when the ESPN "experts" were hyping them up.
