Well the Blue Jays looked pretty good to wrap the (160-game, 670-day) road-trip: everybody had at least one hit and one RBI, Vladdy hit a fairly towering shot over the green monster for his thirty-third home run of the season, and Hyun-Jin Ryu allowed but two hits in six innings and didn't walk a soul. My phone ran out of power just after Vladdy's homer, like he wasn't even finished rounding when the bases when all I saw was "s a m s u n g" instead of hugs with Bo Bichette (not as good!). The trade deadline is today, of course, and while I am interested to see who, if anyone, the Blue Jays are able to add aside from Brad Hand (not at all a bad pickup -- between Hand and Romano, the back-end of the bullpen honestly looks fine for the rest of the way), the biggest deal by far is that the Blue Jays are actually back home, and will play in front of fifteen thousand fans at the SkyDome (obviously a much, much lower number than capacity, but I have been to plenty of games at the SkyDome with fewer than fifteen thousand fans; and its fine [and arguably better, as nobody is crowding you]). Their first game at home will be their 100th of the season. I am a little emotional about it.
