And Bo Bichette just blew out his knee, how bad is not known, but it looked bad. And wow it's the day before the trade deadline, that is one hell of a time for a major unknown injury to happen.

Blue Jays off to the playoffs for the second year in a row, third in four years. It seemed that the Jays were destined to play at the 'Trop for the wild card series but instead travelling to the midwest to play the Twins. A part of me feels that's a better matchup, but the Twins have been playing some good ball over the last month and their top two starting pictures are going to be tough to play against - the Jays' bats haven't been too hot recently against some their recent opponents top starters. Minnesota will also be tying to snap their 18 consecutive loss streak in the playoffs which will be extra motivation. That being said, this group of Jays have their own 5-game losing streak in the playoffs (and haven't won a playoff game since 2016).
Regardless, let's hope the Jays bats come alive and our pitchers deliver they way they have all season.

The Beaverton's headline provided the perfect foreshadowing

Blue Jays admit the only reason they made playoffs was so bigger audience could experience frustration of watching them
MINNESOTA - After a 3-1 loss to the Twins to start their 2023 Playoff campaign, members of the Toronto Blue Jays have come forward and acknowledged that they only worked hard enough to make the playoffs so that casual fans could experience the pain & suffering of watching them play just as much...

What a wild ride today.
The ride being legitimate high-paid journalists spending the whole day covering a rumour that turned out to be completely false based on a dream Tweet from some random guy who looks up flight plan data.

It would have been nice to have him, but not for 700 million!!!!!!

With all the Jays' batting/run support woes... I can't find a single discussion on-line about the 2024 bullpen disaster named Erik Swanson.
I've lost track of the times this guy, who is paid a gazillion dollars to "pitch" one inning, has blown up a Jay's lead or blown up any comeback chance when they were down a run or two.
Today against the Twins the Jays were losing 3 to 1 late in the game. Swanson came in to pitch... I turned off Sportsnet and cried into my pillow. Guess the result.
Send Swanson to Buffalo (if they'll have him).

I take it you dont like this trade the Blue Jays did a few years back??
Blue Jays Trade Hernández For Erik Swanson, Adam Macko
Toronto traded two-time Silver Slugger Teoscar Hernández to the Mariners for a reliever and prospect.

It's just another one of the amazing acquisitions made by the clown Ross Atkins. Between JP Ricciardi and Atkins I honestly dont know which one of them is the worse GM.

Of all the fairly recent trades... I miss Teo the most. He already has 11 home runs and 33 RBIs early this season.
Our (former) top three... Springer, Bichette and Vlady combined have 9 home runs and 38 RBIs.
Teo was one of the most dangerous hitters the Jays have ever had (last year with Seattle he had 93 RBIs - imagine hitting with men on base!).
Traded for a gross Swanson TV dinner. Stupid.
