After stringing together an amazing 10 straight victories, the Jays have looked wobbly tonight in Boston. Still, 12 of 15 is a pretty darn good run. I don't think it'll be enough to propel the Jays into playoff contention, but it is baseball and you have to take it day by day. We currenly sit 7.5 back of Boston, having split the double header in Fenway today. We could've had a chance to go into tomorrow 5.5 back, but a lack of offense after the 2nd inning and a bad break for Scott Downs combined to a Red Sox comeback, with the final score being 7-5.
After the 6th inning, it just didn't look like the Blue Jays were "supposed" to win this game. Rather, it was the Red Sox who had the momentum and "destiny" on their side. It is a devastating defeat for us nonetheless and if we miss the playoffs by just 1 game, I think this is the one we'd regret.
Can you believe MLB had 7 or 8 doubleheaders today??!! Hurrican Ike PP'd two crucial Astros-Cubs game. Haven't heard how they're going to make up that. The White Sox were postponed today again. Tomorrow, Ike's remnance will probably postpone more games. Tomorrow night, Ike's supposed to hit Toronto and bring 100 mm of rain...whew...in for a real bad storm!!
Things are quiet on the basketball courts and the Leafts will make their usual attempt for the Cup. I don't care much for football (sorry, Tom Brady)...
