Well, whoda thunk it.

Tampa 3-1
Baltimore 2-1
Toronto 3-2
Boston 3-3
New York 2-3

I know the season is young but seeing the Yankees and Red Sox on the bottom is delicious!!! And Tampa in 1st!!

A new world order. (The AL East is the world for Blue Jays fans.)

There were too many times last year when they had a chance to sweep a series but came up short. They've talked about playing with intensity game in game out this year. Let's see if they can do it.

Halladay vs. Beckett. Great matchup. Should be advantage Doc as Beckett is just coming off the DL and may not be in a good rhythm.

3 - 2 isn't that great. 4 - 2 would feel a whole lot better.

5 quality starts in a row promises good things for the season.

Go Jays GO!

You're going to win 60 games, and you're going to lose 60 games. It's what you do in the other 42 is what matters.

I thought it was win 54, lose 54 and then the last 54 make the diff.

I'd take the 97 wins that that translates into for a full season.

You fished your wish.

For sure. But splitting it up thirds is easier.

So who will be the Detroit Tigers of 2008 ( Tigers came out of no where in 2006 ) ??? Rockies last season ... etc.,

This years version of the Tigers is expected to do a lot, but oh my they are 0-6 ...

Jays of course. Bit more luck in the Yankees series and they could have been 6 - 0.

Pitching looks a lot stronger this year (as it should be) and Wells and Thomas seem to be starting much better than last year. With Rolen and Ryan coming back, they should be even better.

Could be famous last words of course, as the dramatic loss of form of the Raptors shows, as soon as someone writes about them being under the radar.
