Funny...my mom and dad never watched ball...then my grandma lived with them on and off for a few years ( she's a big ball fan ) my dad hated it cuz she was always watching. Now she's been moved into a home for about a year or so...and my mom and dad watch/talk Jays all the time....I'm like WTF.

Good for them..I am sure it helps that they have been a good team the last 2 seasons

How's the excitement level in 'never never land' today?

I can give it to him for much less...

I don't think so....6 would have probably been perfect( just my opinion )...but it's not what's happening in the NHL right now. I think he's a real good player....douchebag...but still a good player.

Overall, boston’s window is closed anyways.

They’re following the same path the canucks just went down over the last few years.

I think you're underestimating the amount of work involved here.

Interesting stat, although at the time the Royals could afford to coast to the finish, the Jays gave up the division lead.

Sure..they were 13 games up when sept started..but that has nothing to do with the comment he made.

Boston has won 11 games in a row...I dont think they win the division even of they kept playing well...hard to be better than them right now

Last week or so I have been cheering for Boston... so they can come crashing down to earth right around when the playoffs start.

they finished with 93 points last season...just missed out on the playoffs.
Hardly closed I would say.

Bonerific!

... although tonight's pre-season tilt with Ottawa won't have either team icing near what the rosters will be.

Oh for sure...it's funny when I hear my dad hate on some guys and like other guys.

My dad wasn't much of a sportman ( hockey/baseball) but he raced dirt bikes etc...and now to hear him hate on guys like Bautista etc.. sounds funny.

I wouldn't say closed but it seems to be trending towards it. Rask has looked human. Zdeno loses a step every season. I've always considered those two + Bergeron and Krejci to be the catalysts for that team. With Rask and Chara coming down to earth rather quickly, that back end could be in some trouble.

Bonerific!

Good chance to see some of the kids though.

They’re an aging middle of the pack team.

Not good enough to win the cup.

Not bad enough to bottom out yet…. But on a downward trend.

- Aetherial

this might sound odd..but I would prefer my team just be playing decent..not smoking hot like Boston has been going into the playoffs... Baseball is like that..stuff starts to even out and all the bounces that went your way start to go to the other team.

I hope that when the Boston series comes up the Jays already locked up a WC spot though

I think it is closed as far as contending.

Pitt Tampa Montreal Washington all look to be Eastern Conference contenders, with Florida a dark horse.

Boston is in that group with NYI and NYR and maybe Philly.

We haven't even mentioned, Detroit, Jersey, Carolina... which really shows how unlikely it is that the Leafs are contending for playoff spot this year.
