9:45AM Eastern This is a note to those of you who subscribe to this blog and those who check this space for regular news and my opinions as to what’s going on with your Toronto Blue Jays: You can’t do it anymore. The blog isn’t ending, but it is moving, and the process began yesterday [...]
And A Babe Shall Lead Them
May 28th, 2012 by Mike Wilner
11:40PM Eastern The Blue Jays came home off a horrible road trip with a vocal portion of their fan base having written them off after a brutal weekend in Texas that dropped them all the way down to the .500 mark, and they got the exact start that they so desperately needed from the same [...]

Road Trip From Hell
May 27th, 2012 by Mike Wilner
12:17AM Eastern The best thing about the Blue Jays’ road trip through Central Florida and the Dallas Metroplex? It’s over. It began with great promise, a win over the Rays in which the worm appeared to maybe have kind of started turning, and it ended with five straight losses, two of them in extra innings [...]

Burned By Fumes
May 26th, 2012 by Mike Wilner
9:50PM Eastern A night after getting pummeled, the Blue Jays dropped an extra-inning heartbreaker in Texas as the Rangers basically ran them out of rocks. The Jays’ bullpen was depleted because the relievers had to work 6 1/3 innings in the series-opening blowout, so Carlos Villanueva wasn’t available for Saturday afternoon, and neither Ryota Igarashi [...]

Sort Of A Night To Forget
May 26th, 2012 by Mike Wilner
1:08AM Eastern The Blue Jays’ series opener in Texas was over early, as Brandon Morrow got knocked around to the tune of a six-run first inning and his teammates never had an answer for Rangers’ lefty Derek Holland. It would have been a game on which to just turn the page and let drift into [...]

Quick Thoughts
May 22nd, 2012 by Mike Wilner
11:54PM Eastern With a day game after a night game coming up, I’ll touch quickly on a couple of the major talking points that came out of the loss to the Rays: -Going to Evan Crawford in the 5th inning was a fine move by John Farrell. It may have been the by-the-book move or [...]

At Their Own Game
May 21st, 2012 by Mike Wilner
11:26PM Eastern What started out looking like a little-league affair wound up with only one team looking as though it didn’t belong, and for one of a very few times when these clubs meet up, it was the Tampa Bay Rays. The Blue Jays have lost each of the past 14 series that they’ve played [...]

6:13PM Eastern The Blue Jays brought their brooms with them to Rogers Centre in an attempt to sweep away the New York Metropolitans, but fell just short despite having a seemingly golden opportunity to at least tie it up in the bottom of the ninth. The Jays had climbed back from a 6-2 hole to [...]

5:39PM Eastern You can pretty much take the blog post I wrote two and a half weeks ago and re-read it. Brandon Morrow was great back on May 3rd in Anaheim, throwing a three-hit shutout and striking out eight, and he was great Saturday afternoon against the Mets, throwing a three-hit shutout and striking out [...]

Interleaguic Good Times
May 18th, 2012 by Mike Wilner
12:42AM Eastern Blue Jays fans have long dreaded the beginning of interleague play because it’s a place where the Jays’ playoff hopes, faint though they may have been, have gone to die in recent seasons. For some strange,unknowable reason, the Blue Jays have rarely fared well against NL teams during the regular season, posting a [...]
