Extra Problems

Sigh. Today looked like a lock. Tallet looked great through six innings, and the Jays managed to pound runs in at a rate of two per inning through the first four. But with a 9-0 lead heading into the seventh the wheels came off. Tallet seemed to fall apart, needing League to bail him out. Even then we managed to get to the top of the ninth up two. Then our closer gave up two home runs. Tie game.

Both teams managed to hold each other off until the twelfth, where once again the visitors proved superior. A great come from behind win if you're a Rays fan. Sadly, I am not.

And now reports are coming in that the Jays sent an offer to Philadelphia regarding Roy Halladay, which was rejected as being a bit too much for the Phillies to give up. It looks like the tension is ramping up over the next few days. It'll be interesting to see where Halladay, Vernon Wells, Scott Rolen and Marco Scutaro are in a week. Personally I hope they're all still in Toronto.
