Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Angels, Jul 4, 2008 9:05 PM EDT

Should be some good pitching tonight, AJ last two starts have been great and Jered Weaver pitched 6 of his teams 8 no hit innings in his last start. Of course, he took the loss but still pitched great. Add in that neither offense has done much this season and it looks like a recipe for a low scoring game.

Last game I set the over/under for Jay hits with RISP at 3 and well they were under by 3. And that was against a terrible starting pitcher Jarrod Washburn. Hmmmm I'd imagine this is the first time the Jays have faced a Jarrod and a Jered in back to back starts. Let's set the over/under at 2.

In Jay Minor League news pitchers Brett Cecil and Zach Dials, catcher Brian Jeroloman, infielder Scott Campbell and outfielder Travis Snider of Double-A New Hampshire, have each been named to the Eastern League All-Star team.

The game has a 6:00 PDT start, which unfortunately coincides with when I have to go out tonight, so won't be able to watch. But last game we had over 400 comments, so feel free to break that record. If the Jay's lineup is posted before I leave, I'll try to post it.

I'm not a big fan of Scoot leading off but he is taking walks and getting on about .350

I read that JP is looking for a SS for AJ (boy we have a bunch of people without real names on our team). I’d rather they look for a DH with power. We have a bunch of average middle infielders and Jackson might only be 2 years away. Hill should be back at some point. But hoping Stairs turned in a second career year in a row at 40 was too hopeful. Though he could have signed Bonds…..or he could get over his irrational hatred of Aaron Dunn.
