Gregg Zaun is hobbled by hamstring tightness - nothing major, but enough to let Rod Barajas get another start behind the plate with Halladay and it's safe to say the Blue Jays are quietly quite pleased with what they've seen from Barajas.
Couldn't get this story out Monday because the internet/wireless situation in Sarasota was dodgy. But it's true. Before the game, a bunch of us were sitting with manager John Gibbons in the dugout when the Jays bus driver came to tell him that some of his players who had driven in their own cars instead of taking the bus - Vernon Wells and Aaron Hill, as it turned out later - couldn't get past security to get into Ed Smith Stadium. So I said - with what I thought was an exquisite sense of timing - "Are they good players or bad players?" Without missing a beat, one of the minor leaguers who had made the trip on the bus looked at me and said: "Those would be the GOOD players." Gibbons looked at him and said: "That's the media. They're already screwing you!"
Doc induced Carlos Pena to ground out and struck out B.J. Upton to get out of the first.
