No game for the home team today. Perhaps we could spend this time profitably by making "We Love Adam Dunn" banners, and bringing them out tomorrow?

This has not been the worst month in Blue Jays history - they didn't win any games at all in June 1981, and that was only partially because that year's strike arrived after they'd put together an 0-10 mark for the month.

But it's been a while. Since they got over their expansion beginnings, the worst month by any Blue Jays team was the 7-21 mark posted by the 1995 team in September.

George Carlin died last night, and while I'll always remember him for his inspired takes on the absurdity of everyday speech ("What's the problem, officer - I'm legally drunk!"), how could we forget his wonderful riff on baseball and football?
