I've wanted to do posts like this for quite a while, and now that I can find cards in my collection a helluva lot easier (hooray!) I have the ability to write one of these quickly.

• A.J. Burnett pitches 7 2/3 shutout innings against the Red Sox, allowing just 3 hits while striking out 5 in a 3-0 win.
• The Blue Jays finish the day 12-17, 4.5 games behind Tampa Bay.
• Blow out of the day:  The A's put a 15 spot on the Angels and don't have any hitter drive in more than 2 runs.
• I picked the Topps Heritage card from 2008 because A.J. looks shaggy in the Topps/Bowman cards (same photo).  Plus the '59 design is fantastic.

 Thanks for reading, Robert
