Impressive win by the Jays last night. Lilly goes 7, gives up 1 ER and strikes out 4 while Chulk and Frasor come into the game in the 8th and 9th and close the door. A couple of walks by Frasor is not good but it was a win just the same. Once again, another nice start by Ted Lilly.

On the hitting side of things, the new middle of the order produced the offense. Rios went 2-4 with a run scored, Delgado went 2-4 with an RBI and Vernon Wells went 1-3 with a HR and 3 RBI. Rios just doesn't stop hitting. Phelps also hit a HR as well. I'd love nothing more than for him to find his stroke. He's got more power potential than anyone on this team. He absolutely punished the ball in the minor leagues. If he can just turn it around he's my choice to man 1st next year.

Finally, is there any more useless a player in the bigs than Dave Berg? I mean JP must have been possessed by Chuck LaMar the day he signed him to a 2 year deal. Talk about a brain cramp. Especially when the team has Howie Clark and Simon Pond to choose from down in Syracuse. Veteran utility guys don't warrant 2-year deals. At least he'll be tossed aside after this year.
