gone out now

faded like the footprints
left from a long ago battle
on a salt sea strand

taken by a white gull over a grey sea

blue jays beat the yankees again!! rookie pitcher trey yesavage, in his 4th major league start, dominated the yankees. he struck out 11 yankees in 5 1/3 no-hit innings.
oh yeah, and vladdy guerrero hit the 1st postseason grand slam in blue jays history!
