What's up with Cecil?

This sounds like the title of a racially insensitive 90's sitcom.

What a failure that deal was for both teams.

Yeah. Obviously the year Saunders is having made it a smart move to sell high on Revere but Storen...well, we all saw it.

Hey, so, remember when signing Happ and not Price was a sure sign that the cheapskate Blue Jays didn't want to win? Fun times.

Just thought that this deserved a bump, that is all.

Blue Jays in first place in the A.L. East Division after a 9-1 drubbing of the Baltimore Orioles at the Rogers Centre yesterday afternoon.

The Jays scored seven runs in the fifth inning, while J.A. Happ, Jays' starting pitcher,  got the win.  Happ is now 14-3 on the year, which leaves him tied with four others in the league, leading In the win column.

Barry Davis is reporting that Franklin Morales will not be with the Jays in Houston and that he has been DFA'd or released.

Open roster spot, trade deadline approaching, hmm

More likely has something to do with Tulo's injury. Sounds like they're hoping he won't have to be placed on the DL, but, they'll need another infielder on the roster until he's good to go.

This should make Jays fans smile, Jesse Chavez has been traded to the Dodgers for starter Mike Bolsinger.

Houston has traded RHP Scott Feldman to the Jays for minor league pitcher Guadalupe Chavez.

This should make Jays fans smile, Jesse Chavez has been traded to the Dodgers for starter Mike Bolsinger.

Not really something to sing about, as Bolsinger, in six games with the Dodgers, sports a 6.83 ERA.  He is both a starter and reliever (minors). 
Guess he's versatile.

[hockeyfan1]

Feldman,  on the other hand, is the real deal here.  His numbers speak for themselves -- 5 and 3 w/l record in five starts and a 2.90 ERA.  Switch him to a relief role and there he sported a 2.41 ERA.

Not bad for a player who has a lifetime 4.35 ERA (mostly in  starts).  Feldman brings experience where the Jays need it most, as he is a 12yr. veteran.
