if .500 ball for a month compared to 7 games under for another isn't improvement isn't better than what is?

Making up games in the standings?


not to mention like i posted a few minutes ago they are 9-6 in their last 15.

And 9-8 in their last 17

You can cherry pick the time frames all you want

But you cant cherry pick the fact that the Jays are as far back today as they were at just about any point in the season

Pick whatever time frame you want in this season - whatever time frame that is, the Jays will be no better than 1 game closer today than they were on that day

ok....so then what...they are still way behing new york baltimore and tampa bay.....not all 4 teams ahead of them are going to poop their pants.....wishful thinking.

all the teams ahead of them don't have to poop their pants. what you don't get is that those teams have to play each other. like this weekend when the yankees went in to tampa and won 2 of 3 or like when the sox and yankees square off this weekend. if the jays keep playing ball like they have been the last couple of weeks things will take care of themselves. not to mention in these two weeks they have beaten the rays and sox in a series gaining ground.

You and I discussed the Indians preseason

That pitching is awful, and that's before Masterson starts sucking

Yep, although I didn't think it would be their pen that has blown up like it has.

That's still a good lineup though.

Buccs. what was the rays record this month? and yes at the start of the month they were closer to the rays than they are now. but what does that have to do with the blue jays "playing better ball"?

on may first the rays were 12 and 15......

the have lost 3.5 to boston
2.5 to new york
2.5 to baltimore
and 2 to the rays.....all since may first...they are playing the worst baseball in the division this month.....thats all i am saying

"man, all those people who on May 5th said the Jays will finish the season 52-110 sure look foolish now"

Wouldn't that be Caribbean American history?

they havent gained any ground on tampa bay in the last month....or anyone else for that matter...they have lost ground to every single team in the division

so playing .500 ball for a month does exactly what for them....i dont think they win the division on 75 wins....just saying

no it won't win them the division but just like you and others in here didn't even think they could play .500 ball a few weeks ago now that they are playing above that for the past few weeks you hump something else. all i am saying is they are playing much better. getting healthier (reyes already running and fielding) johnson to be back in a week. buehrle pitching better and the offense is what i thought it would be. you would be stupid to count them out right now...

"yeah, but wait until those intra-division games start up. I'm not sure why that matters. And I'll completely ignore that there have been plenty of intra-division games this past month. But if the Jays keep playing the way they are, it'll take care of itself. As the standings are clearly reflecting"

They're going to suck for as long as their starting pitching sucks...

And even assuming a typically mediocre beurhle and a solid Johnson? The rest of that staff is a fucking catastrophe....
