Hopefully this is the year they advance to the ALCS.

Pretty amazing considering the fact that Mourneau was out for half the year

surprisingly for the second season in a row they start playing extremely well AFTER Morneau goes out with injury. :sigh:

Disgusting that a team like that has a chance to win every year because of the division they play in.

Really suprised they made this far without Morneau and Nathan, but then again they do play in a very weak division.

Sure that plays a part, but they re one of the true success stories of the revenue sharing system.

1) we would be 4th in that division as well
2) our record vs the central is WORSE than our record vs the east

jays would be in the playoffs at least three times in the last 10 years if they played in the central. who knows if the budget would have been as high though which would change everything.
