Rays 12, Blue Jays 0: I don't approve of spankings.

Touch 'em all, damn near everybody; touch 'em all.

Just the worst kind of awful. Even before the thoroughly horrible six-run, bat-around ninth, this game was the least good thing. The Blue Jays struck out eighteen times yesterday and managed but five hits -- two by Brett Lawrie, and actually one must acknowledge Mike McCoy's improbable three walks somewhere, so why not right here -- and clearly pitching was an issue. Brandon Morrow gave up three home runs. Out of the 'pen, Rommie Lewis and Carreno were largely blameless, but Wilfredo Ledezma gave up six runs in a single inning of work and got DFA'd for I believe the second time. With this fourth straight loss, the Blue Jays are now below .500 for the first time in over a month, and I hate it.
