Can't leave them alone for a minute

Well, I go away for a few days and the Jays go a little crazy, in more ways than one. First, the offense goes absolutely nuclear on the Twins' pitching and sweep Minnesota right out of town. Then, on a five game winning streak, proceed to lose close games on Friday with Sparrow pitching (and bitching) and on Saturday with Doc on the mound. Shaun Marcum, quickly becoming my hero, salvaged the Windy City series.

Sparrow, annoyed at being pulled on Friday, decides he's got something to say : "I just don't think that we consistently put ourselves in position to make plays every time. I don't think that we consistently show up as a coaching staff and as a team every day. I think it shows sometimes. It's a game that we're in full control and we should have won and we didn't. All around, it wasn't a great game by us."



Wait, did he just say something every single fan who pays even a little attention has said at one time or another this season? What the hell is going on?
