And the Jays are in the midst of an 8 game skid…right as they begin to play the rest of the AL East.

Seems the author was right on point here.

Logan’s Mom’s comment was either a great piece of sarcasm or an uninformed rant.

Logan’s Mom-

A. Boston is winning, and with an injury depleted lineup…the only overpaid people on that team are Drew and at the moment Dice-K.
B. Toronto with the best bullpen in the MLB? No, that would be the Red Sox. I’m assuming your a biased Blue Jay fan with remarks like that.
C. Youkilis playing way above his head??? How do you figure? He did finish in the top three in MVP voting last season, I would like to hear your reasoning behind this statement.
D. Bay may not be Ramirez at the plate, although his numbers this season suggest otherwise (look them up before you talk), but you can’t ignore the defensive upgrade he brings in the field compared to Manny.
E. Ortiz is on the decline, there’s no argueing that. However, he’s bound to pick it up if even a little, eventually…which will only make their already potent offense that much more dangerous.
F. That Pedroia comment is just stupid….

Clearly you’re the retard, but keep it classy my friend.

This was absolutely terrible. This sounds like your standard Boston/New York fan, crying because their overpaid ball club isn’t winning every game. Yes, let’s look at Lind’s career stats, seeing as he’s never been a starter. Let’s project stats on players who haven’t been in the league long enough to know their ceiling. Great idea! Yeah, let’s just assume Toronto, who plays .500 against the AL East will, for some reason, with the best hitting lineup in years, the best bullpen in MLB, and one of the deepest rotations, will NOT have a better record. Yeah, keep talking like that. Meanwhile, ignore the fact Youkilis is playing way above his head, Bay is no Ramirez, Ortiz looks 85 years old, and Pedroia’s brother is a pedophile.

Keep it real, retard.

It’s nice to see Red Sucks fans taking shots at the Jays. Suck it up Sally and get use to it! Go Jays!!

At least it appears like the Jays fans are interested. We do care when someone takes pot shots at our team. When’s the last time the Yankees won anyway? And the Red Sox took over 80 years to add another WS win.

Is it wrong that we are happy to have some hope in TO when the Leafs, Raptors, etc are consistently shut down?

I could pick apart your argument but it’s not really worth it as most of my points are already taken by the rest of the “believers”.

To the morons who wrote and support this article:

5 Division Titles and 2 World Series in 30 years is pretty impressive actually. Also, from 1983-1993 the Blue Jays were the winningest team in Baseball.

How about the fact that the BoSox have only won the AL East 6 times since 1969. 5 since 1977 doesn’t sound so bad now.

It’s not really all that hard to use stats to your advantage. Watch “Tampa Bay has won the AL East once since 1969.” Well sure, but Tampa didn’t join till 1998. I bet this was the same guy saying that Tampa Bay would crash last year too. He’s a moron.

I’m not saying that the Jays will win, but give credit where credit is due. The Jays have played well, guys are stepping up when they are needed, and they are playing good ball. Let’s see what happens.

Prosper and the rest of you:

At the moment (April 30th 12:42 pm) the Red Sox ARE in first place, albeit by percentage points.
