Yes, they are in first…but, wow…lots of baseball to be played. I remember in 2007 the Braves started hot and I thought "wow, all they need to do is play 66-60 baseball the rest of the way to win 90". They went 60-66 and missed the playoffs. Long season ahead…

On another note, Kyle Seager with your demonstration of why the cycle is overrated - 2 triples, a double, and a homer. ESPN radio was bemoaning the fact that one of the triples wasn't just a single…I think he'd rather have the triple.

Ya, and if any team in any sport were to struggle after starting so good, it'd be a Toronto team. Already proven by numerous Jays teams in the past,and most recently,Leafs in NHL this past season.

This kind of talk is too much of a jinx!

That's why I'm not going to be sure of anything until the Jays have a Magic Number.
