Great stuff--Thanks for posting it.

Gotta say, it's funny that ESPN puts up an article about the Jays' track towards a playoff appearance in the midst of Toronto's impending collapse. They're 3-6 in their last 9 games. They had their hot streak, but they are what they are.

Frankly though, the AL East is a bundle of mediocrity (well other than Tampa Bay who just flat out sucks). I still see the Jays regressing back to around .500. Whether that makes the playoffs though, that's to be determined. I think a couple teams are going to break away for the Wild Card, but I don't think any of those teams are going to come from the East... so the East MIGHT be won with 85 wins.

The fact that the Yankees are in second place right now with a winning record, all with a run differential over 20 runs worse than the Orioles is almost single handily due to Tanaka. Crazy as it sounds, I think a case can be made for a clean sweep of the three major awards in his favor.

Only one game back in the loss column.

More significant then we realize. You can't take down the losses, but you can go win a doubleheader.

[bpilktree]

Red Sox just got a huge break on a strikeout and that would have ended the inning and the next pitch a wild pitch to tie it at 1-1. Melvin just got tossed as well. We would not have gotten that call.

BACK-TO-BACK GAMES, AN 8-0 LEAD

I don't know how often this has ever happened, but I am presuming that it is/has been pretty rare.

Yesterday, the Reds bolted out to an 8-0 lead against the Blue Jays ....... a lead which did not hold up, as they lost the game by a score of 14-9.

************************************

Today, the Reds once again have an 8-run lead against the Blue Jays.

(JUNE 21st)

Let's hope that this one holds up.

It did. 11-1 Reds. Final.

Oh, yeah, Cito still sucks.

Can someone explain why our postseason probability is lower than the Yankees right now? Are they really twice as likely to win the division as us? We are ahead in the standings, we are crushing them in run differential. Even Baseball Prospectus is biased for the Yankees.

That's according to M.L.B.

According to E.S.P.N. (Orioles-centric), we have a higher probability of making the playoffs than do the Yankees.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings

In fact, even when the Yankees had a better record than we did earlier this seasons, we STILL had a higher probability than did the Yankees of making the playoffs (according to E.S.P.N.)

It's the Orioles and E.S.P.N. against the world.

And now, even though they are only one game behind us, E.S.P.N./Oriole Lovers have us as having almost twice as good a chance to make the postseason as do the Yankees.
