Blue Jays at Phillies: June 16th through June 18th

Tuesday & Wednesday 7:05, Thursday 1:05

Records: Blue Jays 34-31, Tied for 3rd Place in AL East (5 games behind the Red Sox); Phillies 36-25, 1st Place in NL East (4 games ahead of the Mets)
Former Phillies with the Blue Jays: Painful Phillies memories are all over this team! Catcher Rod Barajas (2007) played an unsuccessful season with the Phils. Third baseman Scott Rolen (1996-2002) is a bum. Former Phillies manager Nick Leyva (1989-1991) is the Jays' third base coach, and Dwayne Murphy (1989) is their first base coach. The Jays just signed David Dellucci (2006) to a minor league contract. Darrin Fletcher, aka "The Flatch" (1990-1991), provides color commentary for Blue Jays' telecasts. Finally, Rob Ducey (1999-2001) serves as the team's scouting coordinator for the Pacific Rim.
Extra Phillies Room Excitement: If all goes according to plan, Doug will attend his first Phillies game of the year on Thursday afternoon.
Blue Jays Probables: Ricky Romero, Scott Richmond, Casey Janssen
Phillies Probables: Cole Hamels, Jamie Moyer, Joe Blanton
