It all starts with Gibbons. He simply wasn't managing like he believed this team still had a shot, and checked-out completely after Ortiz struck-out in the 8th.
Is LF really that much of a stretch? I mean he's putting up similar offensive stats as Shannon Stewart/Garret Anderson were in the minors at the same age, but with an even better OPS & slugging%.
I've begun to notice a yearly trend; Every time the Jays' commentators openly marvel at how 'stacked' the line-up is with no easy outs 1-9, is when the injuries start piling up.
The outpouring of butthurt in those comments is quite amusing. Though If AA does get removed as GM, he'll probably get reassigned instead of outright fired, and either LaCava/Tinnish will succeed him.
