Cincinnati Reds at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 25, 2009 7:07 PM EDT
Hope everyone is having a great day. The Jays go for the sweep tonight and the offense has been clicking, so let's just hope it keeps doing its job.
It's an interesting pitchers' duel today, with Brett Cecil on the mound for the Jays and Johnny Cueto toeing the rubber for Cincy. Cecil is looking to build on an excellent start against the Nationals last time out, while Cueto is looking to rebound from a disastrous start but he has been very good this season. Two great young pitchers, a pretty Thursday evening, a cold one and my workday is done - what else could we possibly ask from this evening? A Jays win, of course.
Doc Halladay will take the mound tomorrow, his last test before his scheduled start on Monday. That is, assuming he's not traded to the Colorado Rockies for Garrett Atkins, he of the 62 OPS+. No news on Downs, which isn't very encouraging at this point.
Russ Adams continues to play - he's in the DH spot tonight, and Cito sounded impressed with his hitting after yesterday's game. If Adams can get on base with any consistency, he is going to score a lot of runs ahead of the top of the Jays' order.
Thanks to the Minutemen

Because of the sunny climate relative to the rest of the state, a local developer erected a sign at the edge of the city that proclaims Yakima as “The Palm Springs of Washington.” Although it is not an official city sign, it is widely known and recognized by visitors to the area.

Air Canada from Smithers to Van
is ridiculous, like $450 plus taxes for return, and it’s less than a two hours flight. From Prince George (4 hours away from Smithers), it’s $200 or so.

It would open up a spot for Adams as backup SS, and then bring up Ruiz or Dopirak or even better trade for a DH, putting Mac's salary (+ whatever else it would take) toward that.
I don’t think they’d get anything for him really, and that would be OK

Alas, that option is once a year... and if you mess up once, the pitcher's stats are down the tubes.
One thing why I really want to be able to play The Show. The 2k series is missing a lot of options that I wish they’d add – a “Work through the Minors” option would be great as well as better “training camps” or “practices” like they have in Madden.
