I think that what they have done to teams that are either chasing the Jays or how they have played the Yankees is a feat that can not be under stated. In the years of great expectations and "hope" when it came to crunch time those teams around the Jays would just stomp on them and leave all fans hopes dashed... not any more.
The Twins come in and are the second wild card team...sweep
Then go to the Angles (second in the wild card) that is usually a massive bust ... a sweep that is a beat down
Go to Texas (again second in the wild card) ... take two of three and the game they loose is not a great loss
Then the Yankees who at the all star break we had 13 games to go against and are 4-2 with 6 more to play
They keep beating the teams that are out of the picture and this should be a great finish to the year.
I love meaningful baseball
