Re. Blue Jays vs. Rockies

Well that was utterly ugly.

Friday, they get screwed by the weather. Saturday, the bats fall silent. Sunday, they get crunched.

The only Blue Jay that looked decent on the weekend was Morrow and the poor guy suffered a "Halladay" loss.

As for Jesse Litsch: He's not ready yet. It takes more than a year to fully recover from Tommy John surgery. I'll give him one more chance, but I doubt Litsch will stay in the rotation.

Re. The Disabled List

Oh dear. Roy Halladay, Casey Janssen and Scott Downs have been placed on Toronto's disabled list. Brutal, absolutely brutal.

If you're keeping score at home, you'll no doubt discover that the Blue Jays' 2008 rotation is completely out of the picture right now. Doc, Dustin McGowan, Sean Marcum and Jesse Litsch are all spending time on the DL, while A.J. Burnett left for New York.

Unbelievable.

Of course, Halladay will return shortly. However, it's going to be very interesting. Looks like the rotation will be Scott Richmond, Brad Mills, Brian Tallet, Ricky Romero and Brett Cecil. Jason Frasor will probably fill in for Downs. Speaking of Downs...

For the record, my recent article about him has no connection with his injury. It's just an unfortunate coincidence. Trust me, there's no such thing as a GoodPoint curse.

Meanwhile, I'm having this vision: Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine.....wearing Blue Jay uniforms....
