Another win by the Jays last night 7-6 as they've taken the first two games of the series against the Indians. Tonight we have the red hot Josh Towers going up against Jake Westbrook who's pitched well for the Tribe this year. Towers has gone 7+ innings in his last three starts, never giving up more than two runs per start. His control has been good as well has he's struck out 11 to just one walk over this time. Keep in mind though, two of those starts were against Tampa Bay. Tonight should be a good test as the Indians lead the bigs in runs scored going into this series.

Apparently I've upset Dave Berg as last night he went out there trying to make me look bad and had a 3-4 night. If he gets the occasional start that's one thing but back-to-back starts tells me someone is looking at him in a trade. I have not heard if he's passed through waivers yet but I'll be keeping an eye out for the list. His flexibility could make him valuable to a contender. I'd love to see him shipped off to a contender.

Greg Zaun homered and walked last night. Paul DePosta, are you watching? He's a perfect fit for Dodger blue. Send us a low level pitching prospect and he's yours.

Alex Rios had another couple of hits last night. That's his 13th game with two or more hits since July 1st. He also hit his 17th double of season last night. Remember, doubles at a young age are usually indicative of a power surge later on. He's going to have his ups and downs similar to what Vernon Wells went through when he came up but he is showing all the ability to be a solid ballplayer.
