At last, at long last, the Blue Jays come home.

This one worries me. The Blue Jays can expect to meet some people in a very bad mood.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Likewise, the 162 game season begins with the first one.

It's pretty simple. Win or go home.

Did we really want the Minnesota Twins to provide the opposition?

Do I really want to talk about the Tampa Bay Rays? Especially when the Jays probably have to play them again in a couple of days?

One week left.

The last road series of the season, in that old house of horrors in Tampa.

The last road trip of the season begins in the Bronx, with three games against the also-ran New York Yankees.

Over? Did you say "over?"

Here we go.

A 10 game homestand begins with a visit from the Kansas City Royals, who do not have the worst record in the major leagues.

The road trip concludes with what will almost certainly be one of the very last visits the Blue Jays ever make to Oakland.

The phone's ringin' by my head
just like I knew it would
News from Colorado's never good

Welcome to September.

There are lessons to take away from the experience of watching the 2023 Blue Jays. These are perhaps things we have always known, but we can still use the reminder.
