While we haven&#8217;t pumped out a post in nearly a month a half, that&#8217;s roughly the same amount of time since either of our &#8220;2-3&#8243; hitters have pumped out a hit.

Since we&#8217;re long-time fans, it&#8217;s easy to become caught up in the optimism of a fast start, both by the team and by individual players. On the other hand, I&#8217;m also a Toronto fan.

		<description><![CDATA[After 21 games (technically 1/7.7th of the way through the season) the Blue Jays sit 10-11, tied for 3rd in the AL East. The sad thing is, that&#8217;s considered overachieving. Most baseball &#8220;experts&#8221; had the Jays finishing 4th or often 5th in the division, with anywhere from 64-72 wins.
