You may have heard some worry expressed about the Taylor Swift effect - how bad things happened to Washington, San Diego, and Houston after the 1989 tour came to town.

It's worse than that. Much, much worse. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Consider:

The American League East Division champion Toronto Blue Jays are in St. Petersburg to face the Rays for the final time in 2015.

It is with great pride and pleasure to start a thread that has been a long time coming since Batter's Box appeared on the internet scene in 2002. Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, your 2015 American League East champions - the Toronto Blue Jays!

The Blue Jays know they are going to the playoffs but are still leering at their first American League East title since 1993. They check into Baltimore for four of their final seven regular season games on the road.

The final homestand of the 2015 regular season concludes with a weekend series cage match against Tampa Bay.

One of the true legends of the game is gone.

It's the biggest series of the season.

The excitement in Toronto is at a fever pitch as the Blue Jays return home for their final regular season homestand of 2015.

The Blue Jays end their 10-game road trip with a three-game set in Georgia.

The Lansing Lugnuts could not take advantage of home field and their season came to a disappointing end.

The Lansing Lugnuts and the West Michigan Whitecaps will play a third and final game tonight to determine who will go to the Midwest League Final.

The Lansing Lugnuts will take a 1-0 series lead back to Lansing after hanging on to beat the West Michigan Whitecaps on the road Saturday afternoon.

It's mid-September and the Blue Jays are in Yankee Stadium for a crucial four-game series with their division rivals. The Jays hold a slim lead atop the AL East, they've got their ace ready to pitch the opener... and some of us have been here before.

Ryan McBroom hit a walk off sacrifice fly to move Lansing to the Eastern Division finals.
