Sunday September 9th

The power outage in 4th inning reflected the Jays bats..... Where are they ?
Another one run loss 3-2 more than 63 games this season with only half of them won. For a team built around major bats this is the story of the season.

The good: another good outing by Litsch but wasted with lack of run support. Five plus innings, seven hits and five strikeouts but the 3 home runs was the difference.
Aaron's number 15 for the season two shy of Alomar's club record for 2nd base.
Vernon the other run.

The bad: No bats.

As suggested yesterday Overbay sat.

Tomorrow Halliday in Detroit and followed by series at home with Yankees.
Jays now 8.5 back and will have to sweep all four games to have a prayer.

Looking back on the season it is still amazing how close the Jays are. With half decent hitting it could be very different.
Tampa meanwhile are now 169 home runs second in American League and have won nine of last twelve and twelve of sixteen since August 24, scoring 32 home runs and 128 runs in that stretch. That is the type of record that we all hoped for from Jays bats this season.
