I don't deny that the Jays' relief pitchers let them down, but I don't
think they had the pennant in their hand. I think it was a case of a good
young team suprising people for longer than expected, but then they faded
due to lack of experience and less talent than some other teams. The Orioles
won the pennant by individually beating up on every other contender in the
East in late August and September, not by the Blue Jays' handing it to them.
I do think that Toronto will be tougher; it should be another good race this
year.

Go O's!
