  on waivers.  Plus the Jays might fancy themselves contenders at six games out of the wild card.  Conine is on the last leg of his career and doesn't really offer anything Matt Murton doesn't.  I don't really see the point but this pickup seems most likely. Dunn is the most intriguing and also by far the least likely option

  As New York continued to spit vitriol at Bonds (the Daily News came up with the gimmick of actually putting him on trial), it kind of forgot that the Yankees and Mets also played on Tuesday. In fact,...

  got into a scuffle with the Blue Jays, and crept to within five games of the Red Sox in the East. Sure, it was a typical baseball altercation in which no punches were actually thrown. But Roger Clemens was ejected, so that's something! (The Mets lost 7-3 to the Braves). The Jays are still somewhat miffed over that infield yelling thing that

  and David Wells returned to Toronto during their careers. Mark Eichhorn even served three tours of duty with the Jays, but to my knowledge, only one player had four tours of duty with a Toronto-based franchise, and that was Tony Fernandez. I loved Tony Fernandez. He was on the team when I started paying attention back in 1983 and he was a key

  The Rockies are five games out in the NL West and two out in the Wild Card.  Baseball Prospectus sets their playoff odds at a healthy 22-27%.  Their main strength has been team OBP (second best in the league).  The Rockies' offense has dominated at Coors Field.  They've also had some fine relief work from Manny Corpas, Jeremy

  Jayson Stark's column today was a goldmine of waiver-related material.  I updated my Players Who Have Cleared Waivers post with his new info.  Two thoughts from that group: I was surprised to see that no one wanted a piece of Troy Glaus's contract, which really isn't scary at $24MM over 2008-09 (assuming he exercises his player

  Rosenthal believes the Blue Jays might aggressively shop Troy Glaus this winter.  Glaus surprisingly cleared waivers recently.  Glaus is holding all the cards - he has a full no-trade clause and a player option for 2009. The Rockies will pass on David Wells, but the Dodgers are still interested.  The Rox might still go for

  30 runs in a single game. Blue Jays fans are likely wondering what our team record is for runs in a game. I'm here to provide you with the answer. On June 26, 1978, the Toronto Blue Jays beat up on those same Baltimore Orioles 24-10 at Exhibition Stadium. Tom Underwood got the win and future Jay Mike Flanagan got saddled with the loss.

Their hopes to stay within reasonable distance of the wild card clubhouse leaders, the Mariners, took a setback as the LA Angels shut them out, 3-0. They're now 10 games out of a playoff spot. But they still believe! Just Bat Him

  Syracuse SkyChiefs, the Toronto Blue Jays Triple A farm team, looked like Kelly Leak and the Bad News Bears on Sunday committing 10 errors in a 12-10 loss to the Ottawa Lynx in 10 innings. It was the most errors in the International League since Rochester made 10 on May 11, 1964. “We’re embarrassed. Our players are embarrassed.
