The three game series starts tonight on election night in Canada. It does feel kinda sad that we are behind the Devil Rays who were the laughing stock of baseball for so long, but this does seem like a matured team. But honestly, I feel better playing against them now when they are a good team, instead of last year when they beat us every game even though they were "terrible."

Here's the pitching matchup for the three game set:
Roy Halladay (6-4, 3.66 ERA) vs. Victor Zambrano (7-4, 4.80 ERA) Halladay is the better pitcher, no doubt about it, but Zambrano is a great pitcher, and I wouldnt underestimate him. Still this one should, and hopefully will go to Toronto.

Ted Lilly (6-4, 4.31 ERA) vs. John Halama (4-1, 3.66) Halama looks like he is on a good run. He is basically an average pitcher though, through talent wise I'd take Lilly, but if your going for the hottest pitcher, take Halama.

Josh Towers (2-2, 4.45 ERA) vs. Dewon Brazelton (1-0, 2.53) Brazelton took a no-hitter into the 7th against the Marlins but was pulled almost immidieatley after he gave up the hit. So I'm hoping that the Jays can get to him fast. No clear winner in this matchup though.

Holy shit Halladay got crushed again. 7 earned in 5 innings. We fell 10-2 tonight against the D-Rays and damn that was disapointing. We definetely wanna catchup with these guys in the standings...

Ted Lilly and the Jays shutout the D-Rays tonight. It started off with a 2 run first, including Eric Hinske stealing home, then Josh Phelps hit a solo homerun in the 5th. Dave Berg added another RBI in the 8th for a 4-0 win for the Jays. The final line on Lilly is 6 innings 3 hits, no runs. Only 99 pitches, so I wonder if the elbow might be acting up.Vinny Chulk and Jason Frasor combined again for 3 scoreless innings to keep the game a Toronto win.

i just watched the jays game on sportsnet 2day.....14-0 win for the jays. They had great offense....but to be honest with you the most exciting thing in baseball right now are the rays cuz they just might go for a wildcard spot, and that would be a big plus on baseball in general
