Wow. Jays look dynamite. Congrats to all the hard core fans who stuck it out. Playoffs may indeed happen for you guys. Hope you have room on board for the bandwagon

It must be a good feeling to be sitting in a dugout that clears out Yankee Stadium well before the 9th.

I know every game's important and we should be happy with 2 of 3. But man is tomorrow's game huge. We either leave New York 1.5 back or 3.5 back, HUGE difference.

It is, but even if we lose tomorrow, we've still made up 4.5 games in two weeks, and we still have David Price going up against the Yankees something like three mors times.

We're 5 games back in the loss column though, so still a lot of ground to make up.

2 weeks ago if I wrote in here that pitching would be the strength of the Blue Jays in 2 weeks...I would have been called all sorts of names, and rightfully so.

What an astounding turnaround by the club.

Dickey 3 more times as well.

Still a long way back in the loss column, but the upside is that the Jays have those extra days off, giving them flexibility with the starting rotation, and rest for the bullpen.

Now for a random segment; Three Bluejays I remember liking in my younger Jays watching days.

Tony Fernandez and his "I'll just foul 10 balls off with 2 strikes until I see something I like"



Tony Batista and his odd/awesome hitting stance



Billy Koch and his intimidating look coming out of the bullpen

Tony Batista with the best stance, he literally faced the pitcher. Those were some decent Jays teams then. Carlos Delgado, Shawn Green, David Wells.

When the announcers mentioned that Price bought scooters for a bunch of guys on the team, I realized that now the Blue Jays are scooter brothers!
