Roughly 1/4 of the way through the 2009 MLB season, the Toronto Blue Jays had an impressive record of 27 wins and 14 losses, making them one of the top teams in the majors.
As they passed the midway point of the season this weekend, the Jays saw their record fall to 42-41 with today's third straight loss to the Yankees. They've fallen to 4th place in their division, and have gone 2-8 in their last 10 games. During the past 42 games they've also had a 9-game losing streak and have lost most of the series that they've played. Even their ace, Roy Halladay, can't get a win recently (after starting something like 10-1) and has been saddled with losses and no-decisions since coming off the Disabled List in late June. This is a team in free fall who look nothing like the "can't do no wrong" group that dazzled the league during the first 41 games of the season.
I don't know about anybody else, but I much preferred the Toronto Blue Jays that started the season to the bunch of losers I've been watching over the past month and a half. I really wish that earlier bunch of guys would make a comeback.
