It was too good to be true, unfortunately. Anyone who has been paying attention to the side of my blog has noticed that I have the current baseball standings on display. And anyone who has read my blog in the last couple months knows that back before Memorial Day the Toronto Blue Jays sat in first place in the American League East by 3 and a half games with a record of 27-14.
Wow, how that seems so long ago. Now coming up on the All Star game, the Blue Jays now reside safely in 4th place (or 3rd, depending on how you view that 1st place tie) a full nine games behind the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox (tied for the 1st) with a record of 43-44. Since that blog back in May, the Blue Jays has gone 16-30.
As Maggie said, I should've not paid attention until the World Series!

If it's any consolation, the Jays are doing an awful lot better than the Nats are.
I hear that they are putting Halladay on the trade market too!
Too bad I just watched the Jays lose in extra innings to the Orioles! Shesh!
I do not pay much attention to the standings until early June as by then each team as played at least one series with each team in league and all in their division. By July 4th you have a good idea of who is in the running for post-season and who are out of it.
I am with you Jonathan - I'm in a little shick over how they are doing right now. Here's hoping they hit a major hot streak!
