Crap weekend for the Jays. Pitching really let us down yesterday and now Richmond's on the bloody DL! With Cecil and Mills in the rotation and Halliday shakey after his stint on the DL the next week isn't looking good. Ah well, it was nice while it lasted but we knew that the starting rotation (or lack of it) would hit our season. I think under the circumstances we did damn well to stay in it for as long as we did.
Hoping that Romero and some timely hitting can avoid the sweep. It's worth a mention that Scott Rolen is on a 21 game hit streak, which is fantastic. When you add that to his amazing glove it's a shame he didn't make the All Star team, but he is facing some pretty stiff opposition at 3rd base. Congrats to Doc and especially Aaron Hill on making the AL team. Aaron had a decent shout last year til he ran into the Elf and missed the rest of the season. It's great to see he hasn't missed a beat. He's going to crush the club record for HRs in a season by a 2nd baseman.
