Four games today! More tomorrow! And the next day!
The games go on. It's the AL Wild Card game tonight.
it was 25 seasons ago when the Jays and O's squared off at the Dome to decide the American League East. Today, the AL East has already been decided as the O's will use the final three games to tune up for the playoffs after winning the division. The Jays are hoping to finish the season with a winning record.
And now
the end is near...
The Jays play their final road series of 2014 against the Evil Empire.

The Orioles can clinch the division by taking two of the three games from Toronto, so you can expect they'll be trying to do exactly that.
The Blue Jays take their five-game winning streak into Fenway Park. The home squad is coming off one of those soul-crushing defeats - taking a lead into the ninth inning, only to have your closer give up a pair of solo home runs. That's possibly good news for Toronto. Of course, the fact that it was the Yankees abusing the Bostonians definitely wasn't good news.
Six days on the road, beginning tonight.
The Derek Jeter farewell tour makes its last stop in Toronto. It is as yet unclear if Ken Huckaby has been invited.
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
John Farrell and the last-place Red Sox are coming to town.
The Jays need a run of six or seven in a row or nine of ten to get back into it. Will it start tonight?
Friday: Drew Smyly vs. Marcus Stroman
Saturday: Jeremy Hellickson vs. Mark Buehrle
Sunday: Chris Archer vs. Drew Hutchison
The Jays are 4-11 since doing nothing at the Trade Deadline.
The Jays are off to Seattle tonight for 3 with a very, very tired bullpen while fighting for their playoff lives. Seattle is tied with the Jays 1 1/2 back of KC for the last wild card slot.
Drew Hutchison vs
Felix Hernandez tonight,
J.A. Happ vs
Chris Young on Tuesday, and
R.A. Dickey, vs
Hisashi Iwakuma on Wednesday before the Jays get Thursday off. All RHP vs the Jays.
Sanchez, Scherzer and Price for the visitors, against Dickey, Stroman and Buehrle.
