If you haven’t already, grab yourself a cup of coffee and settle in to read Magpie’s thorough and excellent Blue Jays report card. Once you’ve relived the 2019 Jays season once again, it’s time to turn your attention to the thrill of playoff baseball.
That old designated thinker Friedrich Nietzsche once quipped:
Was mich nicht umbringt macht mich stärker.
which, freely translated, means "what does not kill me, makes me stronger."
The blue bus
Is calling us
Playing out the string...
The Jays close out their road schedule this weekend against the division champs.
The Jays head out on the final road trip of the season, having kept
their unspoken commitment to losing more than 90 games for the first
time in more than 20 years. As a very, very great man once said, "it's
too late to stop now."
The Yankees haven't quite clinched the division - technically, they haven't even clinched a post-season berth - but we're in Magic Number territory and there's a pretty good chance they'll make all these things official this weekend.
Well, at least it's not a first place team. It's just the defending champs.
Four games at the Trop? That seldom ends well. At least there probably won't be many witnesses.
The Dunedin Blue Jays were to play their first playoff game Tuesday but Hurricane Dorian said, "Screw that noise!" Instead, this is a recap of Monday's action where #BlueJays affiliates were 3-1 on Labour Day to conclude the 2019 minor league season. #LetsGoBlueJays
Another first place team? Give me a break.

The mighty Houston Astros come to town. I don't know if I've ever before put that combination of words together.
The GCL season is done and they join Bluefield and the DSL Jays on the beach. Dunedin joined them after Thursday's game due to hurricane Dorian. Dunedin finish as Division Champions with no overall FSL champion. I looked at the stat leaders for 2019 for those four teams. In the playoff hunt, Vancouver were eliminated. Buffalo's tragic number is one and Lansing's is two.
Bluefield finished their season with a nice win. The GCL Jays will finish their season today, two games early, because of the approaching hurricane. Dunedin start their playoffs next Tuesday, they hope the hurricane will have passed through by then. It looks like Dunedin will be the only playoff team for the Jays. Three teams have a small chance to make the playoffs. Buffalo and Lansing have a tragic number of three, with five games remaining. Vancouver's tragic number is one.
Wednesday saw a two pitch inning, that is very unusual. Read below to find out how.
#BlueJays affiliates were 2-for-6 Tuesday with Buffalo and Dunedin getting the wins. Vancouver and the GCL boys had the day off. #LetsGoBlueJays
