The Jays just finished losing another series to the Red Sox today, their fifth this season. With a few games against Boston remaining to fill out the year, Toronto is currently 4-11 against them.
The Sox have a record of 71-54, while the Jays are 64-59. So if we take the 15 games the two teams have played against each other thus far in 2010, and we reverse the results (give Toronto 11 wins and Boston 4 wins), we'd have our Blue Jays sitting pretty at 71-52 and Boneman's Red Sox wilting at 64-61. Toronto would be 4.5 games out of the Wildcard spot (Boston's currently 5.5 out), compared to the 11.5 they're back now.
That's how much of a difference their poor performance against their division rivals from Boston has made. Put another way: the Jays are 4-11 against Bos and 60-48 (12 games above 0.500!) versus everyone else!
