Just what we needed - to relax against a losing team with a mediocre rotation. Exactly what some of us feared would happen. Ugh.

Get everyone's hopes up, and lose 3 of 4 to one of the worst teams in the league. If that isn't blue jays baseball I don't know what is.

I would think Doc is easily HOF.


Two Cys, in the top five seven times, eleven-year peak with 2300 IP at an ERA+ of 148...it might take 3-4 years, but I'm fairly sure that he'll make it. Biggest mark against him is that he only has 203 wins, but people have mercifully come to the realization that wins don't matter all that much.

Don't see him having a problem getting in, he was the best pitcher of his era. His squeaky clean image won't hurt him either considering the moralizers that are currently deciding it.

Vasek could have probably used it more, but the best part of that match was there was no downside. Milos' rise in tennis continues.

Felt like this was a trap series, but I didn't want to say anything.

Sure enough, we always find a way to lose to the worst teams in the league.

Except for when they played Texas and Boston over the last few weeks.

Being a blue jay's is depressing, I really have no faith in them unless AA adds a few players. Until that happens I think we can all accept the eventual outcome
