Nothing earth shattering. What if indeed Buster, what if indeed.
nick (Toronto): hey Buster, do you think the blue jays young pitchers can hold up?
SportsNation Buster Olney: (3:22 PM ET ) Nick -- my instinct is to say no -- and probably yours is, too -- but heck, they're scoring a ton of runs and their lineup is legit. But wow, consider all the players they've lost in the last eight months -- McGowan, Marcum, Litsch. It's interesting to play a game of 'what-if' with their pitching injuries -- what if the Jays had McGowan and Marcum, to go along with Halladay and Romero?
Thomas (Toronto): Hi Buster. I don't see any way the Jays can maintain (or even come close to maintaining) their amazing start, but can you see any way that they can stay in the race come September, assuming the key parts stay healthy, of course.
SportsNation Buster Olney: (3:23 PM ET ) Thomas -- I just can't see it lasting, with the youngsters they're having to rely on. We'll see. Great to see Aaron Hill bounce back from his concussion.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.
