After starting a new winning streak (1 game) last night by defeating the White Sox. I have to admit that up until last week I had no idea I would still be this interested in the Jays 2008 season.
Sure, I know that the real chances of the Jays making the playoffs are very slim, but who cares, screw the realists. Let's live in the moment and just go for it. Team vet's like Wells, Halladay, Rios, and Overbay have never played in meaningful games this late in the season before, so let's get out there and show our support. We are 6.5 games behind Boston, and we play them 7 more times, so basically that means if we win 90% of our 16 remaining games, we will make the playoffs.
Cito himself has decided to go "balls to the wall" down the stretch. He has shook up the starting rotation and will have Burnett, Halladay, and Litsch all going on three days rest in order to have them pitch in the upcoming Boston series.
It is highly likely that the first game of the Boston series will be rained out. 90% chance of rain come 8pm in Boston. Back to back double headers are a strong possibility because of conflicting schedules, however they perhaps schedule in a make-up game at the end of the season instead.
The Jays need to at the very least take 3 of 4 in this series. Preferably a sweep. A split basically will end the season for the Jays. If a split were to happen the Jays would need to go 12-0, with Boston going 3-10 the rest of the way.
Go Jays Go!!
