Jays have slumped themselves out of a big cushion in first place and now trail Balitmore.
When the season started, I didn't have much hope, but I did hope they would get the bulk of their wins early rather than later. When they pile up their low win total with late season victories, it's psychologically worthless. But when the bulk of their 70-odd wins come early, we can have some fun and pretend they are relevant for a while.
So at least that's what they did here.
I think we can still pretend for a while too.
This was a team that should have known they were a player or two away and made moves to acquire someone. Oakland did that and landed Smardjza in a coup of a trade.
