It was twenty years ago today (well, this month)

If the Jays' offensive hadn't induced enough nausea for you so far this year, then read this article from the Hardball Times' John Brattain, who compares the Jays' hitting with RISP to that of the Jays during their week long meltdown in 1987.

We're pretty sure that when we get to hell, we will be forced to watch those Jays-Tigers series on an endless loop. But at least this year has braced us for the pain.

Nice - I remember that game... I think I was at the "Y" that big afternoon that the good guys went down 1-0 ... I remember it was an afternoon game. Tiger Stadium was half in the shade. Cecil Fielder tried to steal a base, was caught stealing by about 89 feet. Then Lee tripled, only to be stranded.

Ah, what could have been.
