in the 5th inning, Overbay leads off with a single and with 1 out Bergine Molina hits his 10th Homerun of the season
2-0 Jays

Lilly doing pretty good so far keeping the Twins out the scoreboard but Sliva has only thrown 58 pitches in 5 innings

[Halladay_is_God]

5-0 Jays even after Hinske (at 3rd base) was caught going home after a infield hit, what a dumbass

Bases end up loaded and Sliva throws a wild pitch, Bergie "porkie" Molina managed to get to home plate from 3rd in record time

Alex Rios ends up getting a single and scores two runs to make it 5-0

[Halladay_is_God]

bottom of the 9th

Brian Tallet comes in to replace Brandon League

Joe Mauer and Brian Tallet has a sideburns vs sideburns match which Tallet won by a strikeout

Cuddyer pops out, Morneau grounds out

and game over 5-0 Jays

I wonder how Garza will pitch for the Twinkies.

[Roy31]

Reed Johnson hits a dinger ... 4-0 in the 2nd.

[Halladay_is_God]

Johnny Mac adds a 2 run HR too

7-0 Jays

[Roy31]

Well with Doc in the rotation anything can happen hopefully they can keep this going cause the Yanks are Red Hot! 8 games back right now which is quite a bit but we still have a shot. Ill remain optimistic about our chances. I dont see the Red Sox winning the division.

[Molina00]

Blue Jays are sure having a great game tonight. A.J. Burnett is really showing his stuff with 2 hits allowed and 5 K's in 4 innings so far, and my boy Catalanotto 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored.

[Halladay_is_God]

make that 7 K's for Burnett, great curve ball tonight

[Halladay_is_God]

Downs vs Boof Bonser (2-3, 5.67 ERA)

tonight

[Roy31]

Another Dinger for Reed back to back games. 2-0 right now in the 4th...

[Roy31]

3-0 on a Overybay RBI Double. Nice outing for the Downs not sure if it was because Minnesotas bats have gone ice cold or just that he dominated. 3-0 in the 7th here...

[Halladay_is_God]

man the pitching lately has been great, better than great, only giving up 1 run to the twins in 3 games so far, and the Jays been getting the offense too

only if the jays played like this in their last road trip
