    So sick of the same teams always being on the links. I.e the Blue Jays. They are always one of the first teams listed… all the time! And four articles on them just now. Let’s have a variety of some sorts

      It’s the Canadian conversion factor in full effect. If Montreal still had a team, there would only be two Jay articles. #missingexpos

    The Blue Jays beat up on the weak teams at home before the Bombers came to town. If they lose again today then they go on the road! Stop acting like this team is gonna make the playoffs,because they’re no better then the Rays!

        Where do you get two games out of WC spot. They’re 3 behind Cleveland and 4 behind Boston and Baltimore. You can’t play all your games against the Reds at home!

          They won with all their backups playing, now they’re playing with Tulo, Donaldson, happ and liriano. Sure they won’t win at a 100 game place like they were, but they’ll still compete. Same could easily be said about your yanks anyways. They’ve seemed to be playing above their heads and many expect them to regress

          They weren’t winning at a 100 game clip this year at all. The Jays aren’t that good, look at this weekend, they were lucky to get a spilt. 0-24 with runners in scoring position all weekend is brutal.

          They went something like 17-9 in May. That’s over a 100 game clip

    Under thought is underwhelming. Anyone writing a blog with this kind of exposure should exemplifying learning from the last two months and modifying positions as a student themselves of a game that is a moving target. His predisposition for the Red Sox is apparent.
