Rays beat the White Sox 12-0

We've got the Rays next. Historically we suck against them and given the way they're playing right now I wouldn't be surprised to see us swept. That said, we've got Cecil, Romero & Morrow coming up in our rotation. Cecil was excellent in the spring and continued that form in AAA (he should have started the season with the Jays but Cito went with Tallet). Romero has been our best starter this season and if he'd had any run support he'd be on 3 wins right now. 3 top quality starts including taking a no hitter into 8. Morrow is a question mark but his last outting was great and he seemed to have fixed whatever wasn't working his first 2 starts. If we stick mostly with Camp, Janssen and Gregg from the BP, our pitching will give us every chance. Then it's down to the bats, but I expect them to struggle against some excellent pitching from the Rays, especially Garza and Niemann. Providing our starters do what I know they can I reckon it'll be a low scoring series.

Hill shouold be back Friday for the Jays, which is a massive boost.

Does anyone have MLB.TV?
Is it worth getting and how do i go about getting it?

So amazingly we got to Garza on Friday and then just as amazingly our great BP shat the bed on Saturday. Poor Ricky-Ro is getting the type of run/BP support that Halladay used to get. Today should be interesting.

Don't have mlb.tv - not really worth it since I'm blacked out for all Jays games. Most of them are on the telly anyway. I've heard good things about it though. Just go to mlb.com and follow the links from there.

Two notable accomplishments from yesterdays game. Firstly, David Price threw his first major league shutout. Great effort from a very talented young pitcher. Our bats didn't have a clue. Secondly, Jose Molina threw out 4 from 4 base stealers, including Carl Crawford twice! It was pretty amazing to watch. He's now caught 7 from 8 so far this season. No doubt the Red Sox will be after him

Speaking of which, we start a 3 game home stand with them tonight and to be honest I haven't got a clue what to expect from either side.

Yes. I've had it last couple of years. Great quality picture and you can watch games a day later in their entirity.

Any national league teams want Javier Vasquez?

OK, so I didn't expect that! What a display of diabolical pitching. Deary me.

On the brightside, we sent down Accardo and DFA'd Valdez from our BP, bringing up Josh Roenicke and Rommie Lewis from AAA Vegas. Roenicke has been nails in AAA and Lewis gets the call because he's a lefty. I doubt we'll see Accardo in a Jays uniform again.

More madness tonight? I can't wait to find out!

Much better pitching last night but another 1 run defeat racked up. I have no idea why Randy Ruiz is even in the 25 because we've had 2 blindingly obvious pinch hit scenarios in the past few games and he hasn't been brought in for either. But Cito doesn't like to bring in 'Rookies' to pinch hit for veterans because he sees it as insulting to them. WTF? Also, why persist with Buck behind the plate when he's hitting no better than Molina and Molina is the much better catching option? Whilst I am enjoying watching our young starters pitch very well (for the most part) and the resurgence of V-Dub, right now I cannot help but look forward to the end of the season because it will also be the end of Cito-Ball.

I shall be at the Dome tonight cheering on Brett Cecil as we try and avoid the sweep. I think the Red Sox owe us a big 'thank you' for finally getting their season going.

I'm really hoping that the Oakland pitchers can't throw heat, otherwise we're screwed for the next 4 games.
