Drabek with a nice performance. big win. its a statement to how strong our div is.
Here is an interesting article. very good analysis and ensuing discussion re: Jose Bautista's continued play as evidence of his emergence as top 3 if not top hitter the AL and even around Fat Albert's numbers.

as to the many thanks, i agree with many of your points.
i even thanked moon. Yet I then also thanked FL for his augmentation of moon's prior point. Both good points... Then the following thanks were for good contributions.
I like this jays team despite the defects. Number 2 hitter with that obp is cause for concern, considering the other divisional comparisons followed by the league comparisons. However, I'm not expecting this team to win 90. There has been too much turnover for this squad, which albeit is good for the farm yet transitional for the big club.
to me there are a few reasons why this team struggles beside the obvious statistical matter of fact and when you have Aaron hill injuring his hammy again, he could have turned the corner a game before that. The other reasons are the starting crew, the pen and the offense are rarely getting into rhythm and harmony. The starters haven't gotten deep enough consistently, the pen has lacked certain players-which are slowly returning, and the offense is suffering through a bad month. If this continues they win 63 games, and if they rebound and finish towards comparatively competitive levels, with other teams in our division regressing slightly, they win 84. I am not concerned since I agree with the Blue Jay philosophy. To me this team, without significant upgrades, will not contend as planned. We need an infield to compete with NY, TBay, Boston. Jays' doesn't match up. Add the other dimensions of positive and negative attributes then
I see the returns of Frank Franc and Morrow as being the tonic this team needs to return to a winning percentage slightly improved from the one we have. Hill as I stated earlier is a real shame that he can't stay healthy. He's going to be released. Perhaps he is trying to seal his ticket out of town, perhaps not, I liked that guy and he was all we have to remind us that we didn't draft Tulo. Sorry had to do it...
But How about the planned playoff changes? and Timmy two time Cy 'n Mark I play in NY not texas Texiera saying they're opposed. Saying, the cream rises...tradition...money and were human beings... 7 days off too many...Bochy was on the record semi Selig... Im with the league.
big win jays.
and koop i was outta thanks for your contributions as well, but you know.
