Dropping 2 of 3 on the road to a good Blue Jays squad isn't the end of world but the way we did it isn't good. 2 poor pitching performances and for the most part 3 shitty games offensively.

Without some help this team will end up with 78 or 79 wins.

I wouldn't call Derek Lowes pitching performance 'poor' ...the guy had 1 bad inning, and the veteran limited the damage....something Jimenez couldn't do. In fact, the pitching was pretty good this weekend if you throw out Ubaldo's brain fart.

Lowe could have pitched a shutout and he still wouldn't have won.
The offense was pathetic....If not for Pronk's dinger in game #1 we could have been swept. Cabrera and Choo had terrible weekend's. Hanahan has been scuffling since he came back from his injury.

He is. Yanks, Sox & Cubs along with Tribe.

You are correct. I did overreact a bit. Can't expect a guy to be perfect. If your team gives up 3 runs over 9 innings you should win a good amount of games.
