The Jays' Rollercoaster Ride

Right after I posted that they'd won their first six series of the season, the Blue Jays proceeded to lose series # 7 (1 win, 3 losses against Kansas City). That was disappointing, but it was also inevitable since we all knew they would lose one eventually.

They bounced back nicely, though, as today they completed their first sweep of a series, taking all 3 against the Baltimore Orioles at home. That result leaves them with a record of 18-9, 1/6th of the way through the 2009 season. They've been at or near the top of the MLB standings all the way so far, but of course another favourite team of mine did the same thing to start the 2008/09 NHL season... and that didn't hold up very long nor end particularly well!

I'm also a little skeptical of Toronto's great record when that most recent series against the Orioles represented their first action against an AL East opponent! But... it was still a great first month, wherever it goes from here!
