Seriously, someone needs to look it up. Has there ever been a division where 4 teams had 90+ wins? That seems like a near impossibility given that the divisional teams play each other so much.

According to Mike Wilner, 1978 was the last time 4 division teams won 90 games. No team has every won 91 games and finished 4th in their division.
I too thoughts the Jays had a good year, especially considering their living arrangements. I would buy the argument that they probably win 100 games , or very, very close to it if they were at the Rodgers Centre all year long. I still think this is the 2nd best team in the division so it just really really sucks it didn't work out for them.
But future is bright. I expect they'll be back.
