I’m back from my sojourn to the Ottawa area for a couple of performances at a Medieval Festival where Wi-Fi wasn’t part of the package. It’s time to catch up on the weekend’s action in the Blue Jays’ minor leagues. The DSL Blue Jays went 1-1 in their two games in the DSL this weekend. The Jays are 19-13 and sit in second place in the Baseball City division of the DSL, 4 1/2 games back of the DSL D-backs.
