Is
this finally the Blue Jays team we all hoped, and thought, we would see last
year? It’s Monday, May 26th, 2014, and our Toronto Blue Jays are sitting
atop the American League East, with a two game cushion over the venerable New
York Yankees. This a position the Blue Jays, and many of us long-suffering fans,
haven’t enjoyed in many moons.
Over
the past two weeks or so, the Blue Jays have won six in a row, nine of ten and have
climbed from the basement of the AL East all the way, via express elevator, to
the penthouse, compete with mirrored ceilings, a 360 degree view of the city
and multiple heart-shaped bathtubs (yes, I’ve spend far too much time thinking
about what it would be like in a MLB penthouse). Incredibly, the Blue Jays are
still only 13-11 at home, so there’s lots of room for improvement in that
regard. Just to be a naysayer for a quick second, there are as always many
“buts” involved that have to be considered, such as:- It’s still insanely early to be
getting too excited
- Everyone else in the AL East is playing terribly. Horribly, awfully, terrible. Like, on par with the Houston Astros. Yes, that bad.
