Quote: "All I can say is we're going to have fun, we're going to have thrills and a lot of laughs." -- Mike Veeck, of disco demolition night fame, who was named senior VP of sales and marketing for the Devil Rays.

It's a fact: The home team has won all 10 games played in the Blue Jays-Devil Rays season series.

Who's hot: The Indians are 12-5 (.706) since acquiring second baseman Joey Cora from the Mariners on Aug. 31.

Who's not: The Twins' LaTroy Hawkins is winless in his past 10 starts.

On deck: Blue Jays right-hander Roy Halladay will start tomorrow, ending speculation that Roger Clemens might pitch on three days' rest. It will be his major-league debut.
