Streaking In The Windy City Must Be Drafty

After a five-game win streak, the Jays have dropped two in a row in a loss to the Chicago White Sox on Staurday. The starting pitching continues to be great, but the offense seems to have been napping. In the last two games, the Jays have only been able to score three runs, compared to the 7 run average the offense put up during the win-streak.

Roy Halladay went the distance (only 8 innings however) for his league-leading 4th complete game of the season, but took the loss as the Jays fell 2-0 to the White Sox... ironic since the last time Roy Halladay and Mark "Josh" Buerhle matched up was the first time in Major League history that a team won without having an actual baserunner all game. Josh let up only two hits, both homeruns to Frank Thomas and Aaron Hill. The final score, 2-0 for the Jays.

Tomorrow Shaun Marcum faces off against Javier Vazquez to try to get at least one win this series.

Cruisin' For a Bruisin'

Damnit Josh Towers, you're an asshole. Last night Josh Towers ragged on the whole team about the loss, saying it was a win we let go of. Fuck you! Well, in his exact words he said:

"We just gave the game away. Personally, that's what I think. Today was just a game that I felt we were in complete control of and we should've won and we didn't. All around, it just wasn't a great game played by us. I just don't think that we consistently put ourselves in positions to make plays ahead of time. I don't think we were heads up. I don't think we consistently show up as a coaching staff and as a team every day, and I think it shows sometimes."

What a bitch, eh? Well I've officially changed my mind. Keep Burnett and trade Towers, please! We don't need his "I'm all this and you're all crap" attitude, and we especially don't need his crappy pitching. "I have great control." "So does little Jimmy in the third grade, piss off."J.P. Retardi called the Phillies on Friday and asked if they were interested in Towers, because their assistant GM was in the audience for Towers' last start versus the Mariners where he threw 6.2 innings of shoutout ball. The GMs response? NO! Not even the Phillies, the team with the most losses in the history of sports, wants anything to do with Towers. OWNED. This raises some eyebrows though, if they aren't interested in Towers, who was the assistant GM looking at? Is it possible that maybe the Phillies are interested in a different Jay like Troy Glaus or Aaron Hill? No, you're dumb. They just don't like Josh Towers... who can blame 'em?

By The Way...

Burnett felt fine on Saturday, meaning he'll start his Minor League rehab assignment on Wednesday with Class-A Dunedin, and if everything goes like planned, he'll start one more game with AAA-Syracuse on August 6th before returning to the club. What did Burnett have to say about all this? "I'm ready to rumble!" Haha, what a rockstar.
