The Blue Jays started the season with aspirations of contending, as indicated in our early-season chat. But as they head into Chicago, the Blue Jays sit at 46-55, which is 10 games better than the White Sox. But through the quirk of nature that is the insipid AL Central, the South Siders are four games closer to first place than Toronto. The Blue Jays have a 0.1% chance of making the playoffs, and the only odds that get slimmer than that are Chicago’s 0.0%.
Tom Dakers up at Bluebird Banter is such a good dude, what the hell, let’s do a midseason check-in with him on the Blue Jays before Toronto faces the Chicago White Sox for their final face-off this season.
