Here's the funny part: Ever since TSN.ca posted their comparison between the 1992 and 1993 Jays and a bunch of other articles about the Jays championship years priar to the start of their "key" series with Boston earlier in the week, the Jays have not won a game.
That's right, 7 straight losses. The road trip started with three straight losses in Boston, followed by the first three interleague games of the year in Atlanta (rematch from the 1992 World Series) and now the first of a three game set in Baltimore. The Jays turn the ball to LHP Ricky Romero tonight, who's making his return from a month on the DL with a strained oblique. Prior to his injury, Romero was 2-0 in 3 starts with a 1.71 ERA and a 13/4 K/BB ratio. His last start vs. Oakland was a 7 inning, 4 hit, no run performance with 6 K's and only 2 walks.
If Romero is back to full form tonight, the Jays have a good chance to snap a nasty losing skid vs. Baltimore rookie Jason Berken, who is making his major league debut tonight.
After watching 7 straight ugly, painful losses I'm quite happy that my ball hockey game tonight is forcing me to miss the game. Perhaps if I don't watch... they'll actually win one for a change.
