Jays put Johnny Mac on bereavement list so he can be with his dad, who has cancer and recently took a turn for the worse. Called up DeWayne Wise who made an instant impact pinch running for Adam Lind. Scored what turned out to be the winning run with a brilliantly timed run off a sac fly and an amazing slide to beat the play at the plate. If the name sounds familiar, it's because he made THAT catch in Buehrle's perfect game.

Huge test for the Jays tonight against Ubaldo Jimenez. Can the 'Bomb Squad' be the first team to really get to him? We've only scored 10 runs in the last 5 games but I can't see that lasting. We were also the first team to get to Greinke last year so who knows.

Sorry, with no walks as well.

Cool. Guess that's what got him on Letterman doing the top 10 last night

Halladay smashed allover Yankee Stadium last night. We're on a roll although we have been playing poor teams to get there.

You made Halladay look avergae yesterday, you're running pretty hot at the moment.

As I pointed out at the beginning of the month, the Jays are struggling with a very tough schedule in June. Just hope that when we get some easier games, the players can pick it up. It's tough to get out of that losing habit when you've had it for a prolonged period. Maybe we can break the cycle at home to San Fran this weekend.

Oh yeah, guess who's going to be at the Jays-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium on 4th of July?

So excited. Never been to New York before and I can't think of a better place to be on 4th July.

AJ starting to hit a bad spell just as Vazquez comes out of his. On another note, how good is Phil Hughes?

Just as the White Sox go on a winning run and close in on the Twins ESPNA has them on and up to now(7th inning) they are going to lose again while on this channel.Over the years they've got a terrible record on NASN/ESPNA.I don't have mlb tv so it's good to see them live but i know they'll probably lose when I see them on the schedule.I wish ESPNA would keep them off until they've got a big lead in the division

As predicted it's been a really tough month and with New York & Boston coming up in the next 2 weeks, I'll be happy if we can make it to the All-Star break without dropping below 0.500. We have the opportunity to pick up some wins with a 4 game stand at Cleveland that will see Romero, Morrow and Marcum all pitching. I'm hoping for 3 from 4 but confidence levels must be down somewhat and using the BP is a bit like playing Russian Roulette right now.

Highlight of the season so far? Johnny Mac's home run on Fathers Day, 2 days after attending his own father's funeral. Not a dry eye in the house.

Big series starts tonight for the Reds at home to the Phillies before ten games on the road at the Cubs, Mets and Phillies. Definitely not the easiest lead in to the All-Star break. I'd be very happy if we could go .500 between now although we have the potential to do some damage with the Cubs who aren't invincible at home. The Mets on the other hand are 28-12 at home. Tough.

First time I've seen Doc and he's been hammering down the strikes but we've come from 3-0 down to lead 4-3 in the bottom of the eighth with three home runs shots. Come on!

Get in! Another come from behind win making it a series win.

UNLUCKY JAYS.

The Jays finally managed to win a tight game last night. It's been coming. The last two performances showed a lot of heart. They're certainly fighting for the win.

The last 3 games have been real see-saw games. Lots of lead changes, exciting plays, big homers, dodgy fielding. Very exciting stuff! On Sunday I saw the Jays throw out 3 Yankee players at home plate. I also witnessed an inside the park HR for the first time. Then last night Bautista gets and inside the parker, first for the Jays since 2003. It's not good for the old ticker but for anyone who says baseball is broring, I point you to the last 3 Jays games and say no freaking way!

Hoping to take another tonight against the Twins and build some momentum to sweep those pesky Red Sox. They've had a field day against us so far this season. They're missing a few players and just got swept by the Rays, but we seem to act as their bounce back opponents so not counting any chickens here.

BTW - Yankee Stadium is a nice looking ball park. I love that they had the calories of every food/drink item on display. Ball park food is ridiculously bad for you! The Yankee fans, whilst not overly friendly, were certainly not giving me any abuse, despite my rather vocal support of the opposition. I only got booed once
