Remy on the O's

Remy suggested that Toronto is playing tough but that the O's have all
but gone home for the season a week early. I do see his point, but is
it also some reverse psychology, trying to get them motivated to put
up a fight against NYY?

The O's had a great start and have a few quality players. Losing
Roberts has hurt their attack, but generally they have guys who should
be hitting better than they are showing now. They have a few good arms
in the pen and a couple of guys who can start. I think it is hard for
a team with that much talent to lose as many in a row as they have.
But I am always fascinated by baseball streaks --- even NYY this year
has had big winning and losing streaks that are hard to explain. In
that respect, the RS have had a more normal season.

I hope Don notices that the Jays usually lose when the other team
scores first. I say this because I'm hoping he will reward our hitters
who are responsible for early scoring, should they come through for
us, as I expect they will.

They aren't listening to Remy.

Well Columbo, how many teams don't usually lose when the other team
scores first? This is hardly a startling revelation especially
considering Toronto is under .500 overall.
