Toronto who?It appears that after the Boston Red Sox swept the then AL East first place Toronto Blue Jays a week ago, they have imploded.The Blue Jays are 0-9 in their last nine games and were swept by the Sox, Atlanta Braves, and the last place Baltimore Orioles. Is the Canadian reign over? After being hyped up without facing the also dying Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto is not appearing to be a quality AL East contender anymore. However the Red Sox for some reason always seem to not do well up at the Rogers Centre.Tonight it's knuckleballer Tim Wakefield facing Casey Janssen on the pitcher's mound.Keeping you posted folks.

Finally...FINALLY the losing streak is over
It ended the same way it started, a kind of mixed up deja vu or break in the time continuum. After losing nine straight, the Jays faced Boston at home on Friday night, up against the pitcher and team who started the losing streak. There have been some analysts who have tried to justify the streak by saying Tim Wakefield's knuckleballs threw the bats off course. I think this...
