I hope that Nylander is ok with Lou's no facial hair rule.

Also his career until last season.

yeah they prefer clean-shaven guys anyway

If they dont end that goddamn music soon the pope is gonna fall over..

It's not like every team in the AL has something that's emphatically better.

Meh, some do have better. dont kid yourself.

Old people?

I know baseball is a long up and down season so this latest string of ineptitude by the Jays is probably no reason to panic.

What does concern me is that the Jays seem to be a prototypical "pile-on" team. They are great when they're already up by 5 runs, but when the game is tight they seem to struggle.

That, and of course the bullpen.

We could easily be in the wildcard instead of winning the division. Would it surprise anyone to see another Toronto team epicly collapse?

My kids made me watch the latest Pixar film - Inside Out. I'm positive that you have too much Bill Hader and Phyllis Smith in your life ...you need some Amy Poehler.

I'm sure he's one-upped Lou and has taken it to "no body hair".

Um, at least that's what I was told.

fixed ...

Why wouldn't they get out of the first round? Is this that Toronto Skepticism kicking in? The Jays have boasted the highest run totals the entire season - and since the trade deadline, a top three ERA and top five WHIP. Donaldsons WAR is third in the league at 8.24 - that's outrageous. There are so many other reasons to believe in this team.

Edit: team obp @ .328 avg and slg @ .469 (!) avg

Its playoff baseball. You have to be able to win low scoring close games.
This is all new territory for the Jays, without Tulo, their line isnt as scary and other pitchers know it (even though he wasnt hitting well, his pressence is still missed).

But we'll see, the team is cold right now, as long as they get on a streak at the right time they should be fine.

Joeybats last night absolutely DOMINATED the field....what an arm. Hilarious that many wanted him gone earlier in the season because of his so called attitude.

Went last night. Amazing atmosphere. (Until Bird deflated the whole place that is)


My review based SOLELY on highlights of last nights game:

Gardiner and Harrington really need to figure out what the hell to do away from the puck.
Nylander can THREAD THAT NEEDLE. DAMN.
Habs suck.
