Based on what we’ve seen, Jays letdown seems inevitable
The kid in the Blue Jays golf shirt, one of the many stadium workers milling about in the early evening, walked past his boss on the lower level of Rogers Centre, turned rather hopefully and said: “We’re back here Wednesday, right?
“Aren’t we?”
No one answered him.
No one dared to tell him he was dreaming in blue and white.
There was too much wonderment and sadness around. It took so long to get here and this is disappearing far too quickly. The buildup was enormous, the letdown now seems inevitable.
There was simply too much to try and comprehend after 14 impossible, improbable, unlikely innings of playoff baseball on Friday: A baseball game that had just about everything — good, bad, indifferent — everything but a win for the home team.
The Blue Jays lost two games here. They lost Josh Donaldson in the first game. They lost Jose Bautista to end the first game. They lost Brett Cecil, likely for the series, however long it may be.
