I'd say taking 3 of 4 is a great way to have spent the end of a homestand. Wouldn't you? Especially because the one loss of the series wasn't all that terrible. They still lost and that sucks, but it wasn't a blowout or anything. I will say this for the Jays' losses this season...they haven't been the ultimate embarrassment that most of the baseball world thought the Jays would suffer. Although, the 5 game losing streak wasn't fun.
I remember looking at the lineup at the start of the game on Thu and seeing 4 guys that were hitting under the Mendoza line and a couple that weren't that far from it. Specifically John Buck wasn't so hot. Then dude goes and has a 3 homerun night that night. I'm happy to see (especially after today's win) that the whole lineup seems to be waking up a bit more again. Not to say everyone's belting it out of the park or driving everyone in, but at least guys seem to be present during their at bats and don't look completely lost (i.e. Overbay earlier this season). Speaking of Overbay...way to get a a hit to drop in on Sat and wind up at second with a RBI. Me thinks Mr. Bay of the Over is slowly but surely finding his way with the bat again.
The only non-positive thing I'll say about the hitting...I'm still a little uneasy with the reliance on the homerun. But I'll take it while I can get it. We're in 3rd afterall and ahead of those guys from Beantown.
The Jays start their series in Cleveland tomorrow as I have my first day as a member of the unemployed, at least as far as full-time employment goes. Wish the Jays (and me) luck this week. The Jays to win the series and play well...and for me not to go nuts being so idle. Time to start in on the pile of books, some baseball, that I have waiting to be read.
Take it easy Jays fans and catch the guys as they take on the Tribe for the next 3 days.
Happy Sunday...
