Late inning losses suck.
I seem to remember a lot more off days in the first month of the season. However, the Jays have been playing a lot. They have only one off day scheduled between April 4th and May 6th (one Tiger game was postponed).
It's interesting - you look at the stats so far and things seem upside down. McDonald has the highest average on the team, Phillips is second, and Jason Smith is hitting .320. On the other hand Thomas, Zaun, Overbay and Wells are all under .250. You have to figure those will reverse themselves at some point. And even with that the Jays are the 3rd highest scoring AL team right now (the NY ARods are first, TB second).
The Jays hit the road after a 5-5 homestand that saw 2 tough losses. Burnett faces Cabrera tonight. This could be a 1-0 game or a 10-9 game. You can never be too sure what to expect out of either pitcher.
