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!

This is the Jays problem. They have played the AL east terrible so far and have a whack of games left in their division. They need to go better than .500 in the east to have a small chance at the postseason. One thing's certain though, not too many teams can lose 9 straight and still be only 1.5 games out of first in their division. Hopefully that was rock bottom and a 9 game winning streak is just around the corner.
