| the slam is grand |
After a dismal three-hit performance Friday, and a rousing romp of a bullpen game on Saturday (I think they're neat!), Daulton Varsho's Father's Day grand-slam gave the Blue Jays just barely enough to withstand a ninth-inning meltdown and injury to Yimi Garcia. But will I? Be able to withstand it? I have my doubts! The three best arms in the Blue Jays' pen—Romano, Swanson, and our guy Yimi—are all down, which I suppose leaves the ticklish bits to Chad Green, which would normally sound like a fine proposition, but for his various tribulations this year. Things continue to go really quite poorly, even as the Blue Jays manage a series win against a much better team, and yet despite these many fardels we must apparently bear, here we sit just a single game below .500 (despite a genuinely appalling run differential), and really just one team separating us from the Wild Card spots: the very Boston Red Sox who are in town next. It would take a series sweep to move past them, which is obviously asking a lot, but how about series win, to sidle right up alongside? Maybe one of those? To do that?
