We are in Memphis to play the Mules a 4 game series through the weekend. They split a pair of games here with Birmingham on Monday and Tuesday. We were 9-5 against them last year when they finished 80-82 in 5th place in the South. They are 4th in scoring with 4.29 runs per game (Jacksonville is down to #10 with 3.57) We are scoring even less than the 2001 Jays..... They scored 603 runs, the lowest of any Jay team, and we are on pace to score 579 this season..... The Mules are 13th in fewest runs allowed with 4.52 per game (Jacksonville is #2 with 2.67). Their run differential is -5, 10th best in the MLB, and ours is +19, 3rd best.

Jacksonville Jays (12-9 .571 1 GB tied for 2nd place in the Southern Division) at
