We need you still, mighty Jobu. For we must venture into a dark and dreary place, a house that has been the setting of so much grief, so much misery.

Ah, the poor Jays. The bats are struggling. Could they be afraid? Is it time to summon the spirit of Mighty Jobu, with appropriate offerings of cigar and rum, to take the fear from the bats?
Or should we first see how they do against a bunch of pitchers who really don't have a whole lot of business being on a major league roster?

It’s awfully considerate of you
to think of me here
And I’m most obliged to you for making it clear
that I’m not here
Because I'm not, you know. My body is elsewhere, probably up to no good.

The end of the 2021 season's last long road trip comes into view. Yes, after spending most of the last two years on The Longest Road trip in
history, the Jays will spend most of the final six weeks at home. They
have a three game trip to Detroit next week. They hit the road twice in
September: once to visit New York and Baltimore, and once to visit Tampa
Bay and Minnesota. They play 25 of the final 43 games in the Dome of
Home.

Two games on Tuesday, Shohei Ohtani on Thursday... this week will be lit, as the kids say.

Not that it's likely to mean much of anything but the Red Sox have lost six of their last seven.
The Jays have won just 6 of 15 meetings with this tiresome Boston outfit, despite outscoring them 87-67. Boston has won by such scores as 8-7, 6-5, 2-1, 5-4. The Jays have won by such scores as 8-0, 18-4, 13-1. Well, if you have to beat them senseless... might as well beat them senseless. That's what I always say.
