4 game series, Lets go Blue Jays!!! Jays meet division rivals in New York Toronto (63-60) at New York (67-55), 7:05 p.m. ET The Blue Jays will head into the Bronx on Monday to open a four-game set against the Yankees in the last leg of a grueling 14-day road trip. Toronto began the trip with a promising 4-2 start, but absorbed a disappointing sweep in Detroit. The Blue Jays struggled to score enough runs, as Shea Hillenbrand and Vernon Wells combined to go 3-for-23 in the series. Attempting to reverse the slide, the Blue Jays tap Scott Downs, who will be making his sixth start of the season. Downs had problems against the Yankees in early August and lasted only 3 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits, but he did not factor in the decision, an 8-5 Jays win. Dont easily give the Yankees win as Jaret Wright in 5 games against Toronto is winless with a high ERA of under 12. Pitching matchup TOR: LHP Scott Downs • 1-2, 4.89 ERA in 2005 • 0-0, 10.80 ERA vs. NYY in 2005 NYY: RHP Jaret Wright • 3-2, 7.62 ERA in 2005 • First appearance vs. TOR in 2005

ok let me ask you this, who would you rather have, Grady Little or Tito?

noonanberg is still talking s*** about him, even more when edgahh hit the game winning hit into the Sox bullpen. rent is having a great august batting like under .400 with 15 RBIs in first 18 games of the month

cool Mikeyboy it is, I was getting mad at that during game threads here on Talksox some people were actually calling him Remy or Remdawg, argh those nicknames have already been given to respectable man dont insult Jerry Remy

Sox's clubhouse loyalty to him and the fact that he just has a f***ing month and a half left on his contract.

gone from the Yankees in 2006 will be Brian Cashman, Kevin Brown (will laugh my ass off if Yanks keep him), Bernie Williams (bench player if kept on), Tony Womack. Other than that who are free agents in the Yanks roster, Hideki is but will undoubtedly be signed to like a $100 million check from yanks managemnt

that has already been determined. (1) He is a free agent starting in October (2) Sox are interested in White Sox 1st baseman Paul Konerko, but most likely they will go with who Sox management like, Aubrey Huff of the D-Rays. Huff is a cool guy with great defense and has the pull effect that would do good in Fenway, a nice addition to Red Sox Nation

i know how to make room on the roster. Two Words: Mike Remlinger

and Trot comes back tomorrow to the Sox, yesss. now just Remlinger needs to be dealt with

theres talks Jon Lester could get a brief September appearance--excited if see that, he's dominating in AA

yeaaaa ok, i was making a point to the ass who said francona was lucky from sox winning game 7, and he needs to be fired. every manager gets scrutinized

Tim Dwight has performed great in his preaseason games with the Pats so far doing good in returns and receptions same as Troy Brown. David Terrell hasnt appeared yet for the Pats, and Bethel Johnson is still on the injured list, and PK Sam though healthy hasnt appeared as of yet.

Wide receiver Andre' Davis was traded to the New England Patriots by the Cleveland Browns for an undisclosed draft pick Monday.

and his record so far in the first 2 seasons as manager of the Red Sox is 169-115. let's not forget in the playoffs with him making the big decisions, his record is at 12-3, 4 sweep from the Angels, infamously 4 straight from the Yanks after dropping first 3 games, then 4 sweep from the Cards

oh yessss it would Sox dont even play a game today and could up their record over the yanks

Millar accepts loss of his everyday job By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff | August 22, 2005 ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Red Sox first baseman Kevin Millar, benched again yesterday, acknowledged he has lost his everyday job, but said, ''John Olerud deserves to be playing 100 percent." Olerud, who came off the disabled list last Wednesday with a strained hamstring, has started three of the five games since he was activated, and after a bloop single in four trips yesterday, is batting .429 (6 for 14) since coming off the DL. Millar started the first game of the Angels series, singling in a run, then played again Saturday afternoon -- manager Terry Francona said he didn't want to test Olerud's hamstring in a day game after a night game -- and had another single. He was on the bench yesterday, and figures to play intermittently going forward, but despite his disappointment he vowed it would not affect his role as team morale booster. ''It can't and it won't," said Millar, who was on the top step of the dugout all game long, offering support. ''I mean, John Olerud deserves to be playing 100 percent. I haven't been able to swing the bat the way I'm capable of, and we are at a point in the season where we have to do whatever gives us the best chance to win. If my job is to come off the bench in the eighth or ninth inning to help this team, then I will. I'll wait my turn and if I get a chance to play, I'll find a way to battle through it. ''It's definitely been a battle offensively. You look at players that are going through it. Steve Finley is going through it in Anaheim. Mike Lowell's been going through it all year [in Florida]. I obviously have not swung the bat the way I'm capable of. Everyone in this locker room has had a slump somewhere. This game tests you, but it's how you handle yourself in adversity." Millar is just 4 for 30 (.133) in his last eight games, and the drop in his power has been a story all season. Millar has just four home runs, after a career-high 25 in 2003, his first season with the Sox, and 18 last year. Only 25 of his 99 hits have been for extra bases. His struggles on the road have been even more pronounced: only seven of his 47 hits have been for extra bases, with no home runs. He has gone 182 at-bats since his last homer, June 4 in Fenway Park. ''There are days I'm going to be in there," Millar said. ''I might be in right, I might be at first, I might be in left. There will be a matchup where I'll be ready to play and help the club win that night. ''This is not about me. This is not about ego. I think my teammates have been behind me through this whole thing. I think my manager has been behind me in this whole thing, and they still are. ''But right now, John Olerud is too good a player and swinging the bat too well. This is definitely what's best for us right now." Millar confirmed he had spoken with Francona about his change of status. His response? ''No problem," Millar said. ''Do what you've got to do. I'm not going to throw chairs or desks; you've got the wrong guy. Believe me, I've tried to battle through this. I'm not going to quit and I want to play every day, but right now until I produce, do you put John Olerud in there? Damn right."
