The Jays continue to roll along decently in the AL East, sitting just 6.5 back of the red hot Tampa Bay Rays and just 2.0 games back of the Wild Card. They've got a very tough schedule ahead though. After this series with Baltimore, they will play 9 consecutive games against the Rays, Yankees, and then Rays again. There will then come interleague play where all the teams on our schedule are above .500.

This will be a real test of our pitching strength and whether the red-hot offense can last against good teams. Should be interesting to see though, but if they can sweep Baltimore this weekend, it will be a HUGE confidence booster!

Out in Paris, the 2010 French is underway. It has really been an uneventful tournament so far save for some major rain delays. It should be interesting to see whether Nadal can reclaim his clay crown. He retired to Andy Murray in the QFs at the AO in January but he has been really hot on clay as of late, beating Federer at Madrid not long ago.

Nadal-Hewitt match today. That should be an interesting one to see. I've always liked Lleyton. As well, both Zheng Jie and Li Na are out, unable to duplicate their AO magic from earlier this year.
