Recap: Angels 4, Blue Jays 0; Bats Stung Silent as Jays Drop Another One
The maddening, depressing, frustrating, infuriating, torturous tendencies of September reappeared in Saturday’s game against the Angels. Most particularly, the inability to score on starting pitchers, no matter how crappy.

Recap: Rays 8, Blue Jays 1; Can We Get Off this Merry-Go-Round?
Stop me if you’ve seen this lately. The team received decent, but not great starting pitching, got no hitting, and the non-setup relief corps couldn’t keep the game close.
