There, I said it.
The Toronto Blue Jays are officially depressing. After that blazing start to what could have been an interesting season, the Jays have slipped down the pipeline to Hell. First, there were the rumours to trade Halladay, which screwed him up for this second half of the season. Then, we give Rios away for absolutely nothing. And while Hill and Lind have been the feel good factors during this 2009, it has generally been a downhill slide as far as optimism goes.
This September, I guess the Jays will be playing the role of spoiler again. I can't say enough how much JP Ricciardi needs to go!! The offseason, with him at the reigns, could again prove dramatic, as the Halladay Question will inevitably pop up again. And how bout Wells' lack of production? Do we enter a mode of rebuilding? Or do we try to buff up the team by increasin the payroll?
Yes, the Jays are depressing right now. But light moments like Lind's 8 RBI night always feel good. Unfortunately, we can only hope for more of those for the rest of September...until this team shows that they can contend. Hopefully, they won't turn into another Toronto Maple Leafs.

Now, I agree with everything EXCEPT for the Rios thing.
ReplyDeletea) i get what you mean when you say that we got him for nothing, which is essentially the case.
b) we did it so we could clear up money --> the sox was like heaven sent because of their deed to pick up rios (who has played horrendously with them shall i add :P)
