Roberto Alomar: Second to One???

Move over Robbie, Aaron Hill is in the house.

Romero does more than just beat the Nats

Making his fourth start since returning from the disabled list and just the ninth of his career, Ricky Romero did a whole lot more for the Blue Jays than just bringing home the "W" Sunday afternoon. Romero tossed seven solid innings, limiting the Washington Nationals to just two runs while striking out six. He had to battle through trouble in the first few frames, and ended up throwing a career high 118 pitches. It was an important start for the young lefty for a couple of different reasons. Despite an 8-inning gem from Scott Richmond and 7 innings from both Romero and Cecil in each of their starts, three of the first five games of the Jays' road trip went to extra innings. The Jays bullpen was forced to pick up the slack, logging a total of 18.2 innings over the five games. A beleagured group Saturday night, the Jays were forced to turn the ball over to Scott Richmond for the 11th and 12th innings, just three days after he threw 107 pitches in his best performance of the year vs. the Philles.

All Hands On Deck!!!

The Toronto Blue Jays have emptied the proverbial cupboard in AAA-Las Vegas by promoting both LHP Brad Mills and LHP Brett Cecil to fill the gapping holes in their rotation. RHP Jeremy Accardo was also summoned by the team to replace Scott Downs in the bullpen.

In case you've been living under a rock, the Jays added RHP Roy Halladay, Casey Janssen and LHP Scott Downs to the DL yesterday with various injuries.

Brad Mills makes his major league debut today vs. Joe Blanton and the Phillies.

Fearless Prediction for Mills: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 ER, 3 K (no decision) as I expect the Jays bats to come through and complete the sweep of the defending World Series champs.

Hallady will be the AL starter for the allstar game

That's right you heard it.

HALLADAY'S CAREER NIGHT LIFTS JAYS OVER HALOS

The Doctor was certainly in tonight!

Outside of a 4-run debacle in the 7th, Halladay pitched a gem to lead the Jays to a 6-4 win on Tuesday night. Along the way he piled up a career-high 14 K's in his second complete game of the season to improve his record to 9-1 on the season.

The Jays offense pounded out 9 hits and 6 runs on Angels' starter Joe Saunders over his 5.1 IP. After the bullpen blew a disasterous 5 run lead in Halladay's last start vs. Baltimore, Cito Gaston wasn't taking any chances tonight and let the Doctor go the distance, throwing a total of 133 pitches, 88 for strikes.

Next up: Casey Janssen (1-1, 4.15) takes the hill for the Jays' in the second of a three game set. The Angels will counter with Jered Weaver (4-2, 2.36 ERA) who is off to an impressive start to the 2009 season. The Jays will have their work cut out for them as Weaver has posted a 4-1 record against the Jays in 5 career starts.
