The Blue Jays are just firing on all cylinders here HOLY!

It took some time but this team has gelled not only from a performance standpoint but from a team camaraderie one as well as just about every game Sportsnet has shown shots from the dugout where the guys are just kitbitzing and having a good ol' time.

Funny what winning can do

Didn't think we'd ever score again...unfortunately it seems if we aren't homering, we really can't.

And that spells disaster in October. Could you imagine if we go into one of these bull**** offensive droughts in the playoffs?!

You'd think the O's would learn to never ever bring Pedro Strop in against us. It always costs them.

13-4 Toronto. Unfortunately, Boston is winning.

That's why the one year when the Brewers made the playoffs I knew we were done for, even with CC.

Our offense has been Homer or bust for a long time now, and it's ****ing annoying.

Yup...I mentioned this in the team thread yesterday. If we're hot when we get in, great. Otherwise, and this is if we even make it to October, it will be a short stay.

Victor Martinez puts in his nomination for play of the year.

I love Pedro Strop

Seriously, if the O's ever let him pitch against the Jays in a high tension situation again (or ever really) I'll laugh my butt off.

Sideways hat pitchers have been destroyed by the Jays this year. Fernando Rodney has also gotten rocked badly.

And why is Maicer Izturis suddenly money at on the plate and in the field?

Confidence goes a long way Izturis LOOKS like a different player as well. He's playing with a quiet confidence he used to have in his days with the Angels.

He realizes Reyes is back soon so he needs to step it up to keep starting lineup spot? But he's playing like the player we thought we were getting when we signed him.

Either way, 11 straight now! Ties franchise record! Only done 2 times in history, in 98(during Delgado,Green days of Jays) and 87(Fernandez,Moseby,Key,Stieb days).

Tigers tied up game! Hopefully they can win!

Also hoping Rays can win against Yankees.

I can't express how pleased I have been with James Loney this year.

It's like he just woke up one day and remembered how to hit.

Yup...we were discussing this yesterday. He and AGon are essentially the same player this year...crazy.
