Well the Jays have a chance to move ahead of Boston tonight and into second place in the AL East. With 82 wins they did guarantee themselves a winning season. Overall the Jays were good at home, but didn't get it done on the road. I suppose the thing that really killed them was that the offence cooled down for about 2 months when they had no pitching whatsoever. By the time they started getting decent pitching they were long out of it. Couple that with the fact that they never had an extended period of time where the offence was cooking and the pitching was going well to rack off 12 wins in 15 games and you end up where they did. Still they did manage to plug forward this year, but thats to be expected with an increased payroll. I guess we'll see if they can find a way to move to the next level next season with a bit more dough.
