2016 Game 135 - Jays vs Rays


More fun at the House of Horrors.

 Estrada vs Snell. Navarro catching. Get Marco some runs!

MLB Power Rankings - September Edition


Now things are getting serious folks. Let's do a little math: 133 games down and our Toronto Blue Jays are 19 games over .500 at 76-57. 29 games left. Even if they go 14-15 they end up 90-72, which makes the playoffs. Things are looking good here folks. MLB has Toronto's postseason projection at a season-high 94.3% That's good. Really good. 

So what are the American media moguls saying about those pesky birds from the north?

CBSSports has us 4th overall, with a quirky Benoit stat:


The heroes over at FiveThirtyEight have us at a lofty #2 overall:


ESPN 4th, mentioning DEPTH:


And for some reason (a few days ago) TSN's Scott Cullen had the Red Sux AHEAD of our boys, even though they had lost 4 of 5 and our boys had just slaughtered the Twins:

As a parting shot (ahem) who the heck is Matt Dermody? Luckily I get all my news from the Des Moines Register, nice little writeup on his story here.

Life, Love and the Blue Jays



I've been to Blue Jays games for almost their entire existence (excepting the decade after the strike). In all that time, I have been taken to the game on a date. I've been with family. I've been with friends. I've gone alone. I even signed up for Zubes' Jayting Game but he never got back to me. (You can see the dates he did go on here.)

So I want to know if you have ever had baseball dates. How did they go? If you haven't, what would you do on one? (Zubes has some ideas here - I'm choosing to ignore the preamble.)
