The Jays have had such terrific bullpen work for the last couple years, I can let a bad week slide.
Coming into the road trip I wanted a 5-4 record, I got an 0-9. So they "lost" 5 games I wanted as wins, but I think they earned some leeway with their play earlier this year.
This team had to take a bit of a nosedive, even I saw that and I'm a total homer, seems like the slide coincided with an unlucky streak. But 1.5 games back is nothing that the Jays can't overcome if they consistently outplay their division rivals.
My "real" worry is that Wells and Rios are terrible and should comprise the team's strengths, but I'm not off the bandwagon yet!
