seriously, what is going on with this roller coaster team?!
When you team is 'all __, no __', that's what happens. For many years Toronto was 'decent offense, decent pitching', which resulted in a lot of split series and no winning streaks to speak of. With our awful offense and great pitching, a few days of even league-average batting sets us up for a win streak, while a week or two of the usual five-hit, two GIDP affairs results in extended losing streaks.
In a way, I enjoy the roller coaster more; in past seasons, the inability to string together wins meant that one couldn't even harbour the false hope of a long streak to bounce the team into contention. It's no more likely now, but at least the hot stretches let me pretend.
**** your asterisk.

good point about the previous years of Blue Jays teams. it was pretty frustrating that they were never able to pull off those 10 wins in 13 games, or 15 or 18, like the A's or Yanks are accustomed to doing late in the season
...I feel scared now...
