Some of you sure ride a roller coaster of emotions - yes, the TB series was tough, but there is a reason that it is a 162 game schedule. Sometimes you catch teams at the right time, sometimes at the wrong time. Had the Jays' pen been hot this weekend, they win 3 or 4 of those games. But they were cold (and injured), and the Rays are on a tear. It happens.
And as has been said, their schedule, along with their injuries, has been brutal.
It was a learning experience, and they will not only be fine, they'll be owning TB soon enough. This team is incredibly talented, and starting to 1) believe in themselves and 2) learn how to win.
It is the toughest division in baseball, and they may not make the playoffs this year (I still think they will). But even if they don't, the future is incredibly bright. And the future is no further away than next year.
Can't wait to see Manoah tonight!
