The streak is over, but the Jays did not go gentle into that good night.

Yup, the Jays are hot and could be viewed as in the race for the first time since the 90's in mid-September.

I’ll let J.P. keep his job if the Jays beat Garza … fair enough? (sly wink)

Done!

So that was a pretty good game. The Jays win 9-0, Jesse Litsch gets the CG shutout, Travis Snider went 3-3 with a walk and a home run (and no strikeouts...well, yeah) and the Jays helped to severely cripple the playoff chances of another team.

The Jays bullpen tried to give this one away, but the Twins defence wouldn't hear of it.

Less than a month to go. What can we look forward to in the next (30 - 2) days?

Ooh, you're a holiday
Such a holiday

Well, if you're just playing out the string, might as well make sure that the Yankees are just playing out the string as well. Gives one's life a little bit of purpose...

Anyway, I think I'll share some random predictions regarding the home team and the months ahead.

David Purcey was fantastic.

Well, we actually took one from those pesky Rays...

Just one win down on the farm yesterday.  The affiliates were 1-4 on the night with NH getting the day off.

A fine, gripping ball game. Alas, a Tough Defeat.

Lost as quickly as I'm found
But soon enough it turns around

The 6 game over .500 glass ceiling strikes again.

The women put up a solid effort, losing in the medal round to Australia but the men didn't make it that far.  At least the Jays won.

The Yankees come to town for a three game set, with third place on the line.

Oh my.
