If the pitching is okay the hitting sucks (OPB). If the hitting is good, the pitching is subpar or injured (2008). We play well against the best teams in baseball but shit the bed when playing the Indians and Twins.<br /><br />Part of being a good team is consistency, and just because Beyond the Batters Box cooks some numbers to suggest the Jays are the 3rd best team in baseball doesn't make it so.<br /><br />Look at the Red Sox this year, a team absolutely devastated by injury yet still won 89 games this year, yet the Jays were essentially healthy and finished with 85 wins.<br /><br />My point is, I wouldn't characterize this team as solid by any stretch of the imagination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-68154096798419698882010-10-21T16:21:15.208-04:002010-10-21T16:21:15.208-04:00Drew, yes.

Still, I kinda love how Sabean pulled together scraps from hither and yon and made a ball team out of them.<br /><br />If Cody Ross or Pat the Bat had made their way to Toronto, there would have been cries of "Mencherson!" and riots in the blogiesfear. <br /><br />Mind you, I don't know how much of this is by design, and how much is pure happenstance, but given my general distaste for Brian Sabean's signings (Aaron Rowand has yet to force me to eat my bacon), I'm assuming the latter.<br /><br />And I actually disagree with Keri...I think that people saw the Rays as a team headed in the right direction for the past five or six years...The Giants?
