the Blue Jays

The Blue Jays: The Jays have not been more than two games above .500 but have been as low as 11 games under the break-even mark twice this season. Its a team that has fought back, with an 11-game winning streak as they reached the halfway point at 40-41, according to The Star. What has changed for Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos as he ponders the future of this roster? Nothing. The Blue Jays half-way records starting in 2007 and through this year have been similar and decidedly mediocre. Starting in 07 the Jays 81-game won-lost marks are as follows: 39-42; 38-43; 42-39; 41-40; 40-41 and 41-40. Now, this years 40-41. What makes this year so disappointing is the bump to $119 million payroll and the great expectations that accompanied it and The Jays reached the halfway mark of the 162-game season on Sunday at Fenway Park, with a loss to the Red Sox.
