But having no spare outfielder is bad.

 

Schultz still has options to go back for 3 weeks until rosters expand.

 

Are you sure about that? Otherwise it makes no sense to lose him.

Im pretty sure he is in his last option year since he was sent down without being exposed to waivers after training camp.

This is what pisses me off the most about losing Danny V so late.....rosters are about to expand

Always wondered how or what Voodoo math do they use to calculate GB in standings? If the Yankee's have games in Hand how do they not actually have a Five game lead not 3.5 ? I know I always assume or am assuming you win these!

 

Does this make me a Ass? Lol

Half a game up for a win and half game down for a loss. Games in hand are not figured into the math for the standings

This is why some people prefer to look at losses instead of games behind. The Jays are still 5 losses behind the Yankees.

I know I'm showing my age here but Tony Kubeck always went on about games behind in the loss column.

 

He never considered the standings

3 ways of calculating what is happening.

Standings show GB which is calculated by (leader wins + leader losses - your team wins - your team losses) / 2

your losses - leaders losses + 1 = number of losses your team must have less then leader to win.

Something that comes up when season is almost finished is magic number.

Magic number is total games in season + 1 - your teams wins - leaders losses.

In the Case of BJs winning div, 162+1-59(BJs wins)-47(NYY losses)=57

That shows why the 12 games left with NYY is vital. every time the BJs win that magic number falls by 2 and every time they lose it stays the same, but the number of games falls by one.

Magic number for BJs is 57 with 51 games left. again 12 games left with NYY shows that BJs still hold their destiny in their own hands and do not need to depend on other teams to help them out.

Well I'll just flat out ask the question which goes like this: Can the Jays win it all in 2015? I don't watch them enough to know as don't have that much time and I also don't follow much of the other teams aside from checking standings. So can we get our first championship since 1993 or not?

Absolutely. Best offence in baseball at the moment (and it's not close), and our pitching has been nails of late. If our pitching holds together, we've got a great shot at a serious playoff run.

So interesting to see how much such a Movement like this could raise dollar wise? How much buzz would it take to get a the hat passed a million times. How much could such a fund raise if 30 dollars was the starting point to pass the hat along, that's 30 million at the worse.

 

Let's see in here alone what we could Concieve Believe and Achieve to raise!

 

Go Jays Go.... After this Run we are on, I don't wanna go back to losing for another 22 f***ing years!

 

Plus f***ing over the Yankees and Sox teams and fans would be, PRICEless !
