Costume of the night!

This trick-or-treater had ET phoning home in Bow, N.H. There is no bike, just the basket attached to the handle bars. Perfect for walking around. And that's a 14-year-old, Simba, checking out ET.

It's always baseball season at our house!

Happy Halloween! This is a Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats pumpkin carved by the Gray family of Bow, New Hampshire. Love the reflection off the counter top!

Top 10 Blue Jays prospects

1. RHP Aaron Sanchez (20) -- Lean and mean, Sanchez has developed into a strikeout machine by improving his command.

2. LHP Sean Nolin (23) -- Big Hoss. Strikeout-to-walk has been tremendous for the 6-foot-6, 240-pounder.

3. RHP Marcus Stroman (21) -- Misses bats. Big-league arm and big-league closer of the future. Banned 50 games last season.

4. RHP Roberto Osuna (18) -- Machine-like delivery and lively arm. Baseball comes out of his hand like a bolt of lightning.

5. LHP Dan Norris (19) -- Power arm with a great feel for pitches. Can spin it. Mound presence a plus.

6. RHP John Stilson (22) -- Lively fastball and disruptive delivery. Arms and legs are flying everywhere. Future big-league reliever.

7. OF D.J. Davis (19) -- A game-changer with great speed and range. Love the hands and compact swing. He'll hit.

8. LHP Matt Smoral (18) -- Southpaw with long stride and great extension from 6-foot-8 frame. Actual velocity: good. Perceived velocity: great.

9 . C Antonio "A.J." Jimenez (22) -- Cracked the top 10 in April 2012 after a strong start with Fisher Cats. Now returning from Tommy John surgery.

10. OF Anthony Alford (18) -- Intriguing player with plus-tools. Watch out now that he's focusing on baseball and not college football.
