If you ask me, the Jays are giving us a lot to be happy about.
The good guys sport the second best pythagorean record in baseball right now, next to the amazin' Dbacks. SMALL SAMPLE SIZE ALERT! But then again, the small sample size alert is getting less significant every day - we're almost a tenth of the way through the season.
You know what my favourite part of the Jays' early success has been? They're not even firing on all cylinders. The Big Hurt is hitting .196, Zaun and Stewart can certainly do better than OPS+' of 59 and 62, we haven't even seen Scott Rolen, Accardo has an ERA in the 8's, and Burnett has some mutant fingernail that's making his ERA look like Josh Towers. So when the guys playing over their heads inevitably cool off, maybe the effect will be balanced out by improvement from the guys who are playing below their feet at the moment.
Looking for a good game to watch tonight? How about Chien-Ming Wang vs. Clay Buchholz. Felix Hernandez vs. Joe Blanton could be fun too. And the Jays are throwing Jesse Litsch up against Kason Gabbard at the RC.
