1-2 vs. Boston 1-2 vs. Texas (yes, Texas!!) If you had been living in a yurt for the last month and just emerged, cold and stinky, coming over to my place to shower and watch tv, you might have eventually asked me “oh, yeah – how have the Blue Jays been doing so far?” I’d […]
2-1 vs. Baltimore 1-0 vs. Cleveland 2-1 vs. Texas 3-0 vs. Kansas City 1-3 vs. NYY SEASON RECORD : 13-8 Last week it felt like every game the Jays were supposed to play was snowed out or rained out, so there wasn’t much to see or write about. So you get a double dose of […]
