| oh no I thought we'd get "home Berrios" |
Okay well let's start with the good things, maybe: quick game! Only two-hours, thirty-three minutes, so the crowd of forty-one-thousand-plus was treated to "a brisk affair." Vladdy ripped a double to keep the hit-streak alive! Twenty games! The Blue Jays bullpen looked great, with Pop, Richards, Thornton, Cimber, and Phelps all putting up scoreless innings. And José Berríos picked-off José Ramirez with a nifty move in the first. Alas that he (Berríos, not Ramirez) also got utterly cooked for eight runs in four innings, and the Blue Jays were outhit fourteen-to-three. It was a real drag! The loss, combined with a Seattle win, also knocked the Blue Jays out of the top Wild Card position for the first time in I think a while. A week ago, they were thirteen games over .500! They are . . . fewer games than that now. Will we look back on this fairly dark (and yet brisk: let us not lose sight of this briskness) Friday night as the beginning of the Blue Jays slide out of the AL playoff picture? Or will we totally forget about it because everything actually will be at least fine and possibly even good? I for one intend to find out but I get it if that does not sound like as much fun to everybody else.
