TORONTO — Remember various Maple Leafs 18-wheelers skidding off of the road and the infamous 1987 Blue Jays collapse? This edition of the Blue Jays continued to hit its way into the conversation for worst Toronto sporting collapses ever — or maybe hit its way out of would be more applicable? These Blue Jays have gone from leading the AL East for some time to having only a tenuous grasp on a wild card spot, with the latest misery being a 8-1 loss against the cellar dwelling Tampa Bay Rays. A single later scored another and six straight Jays were set down by Cobb, taking the air out of a crowd looking to celebrate. Nerves are frayed in Toronto due to the struggles of the Blue Jays this month, so Gibbons thinks it isn’t the worst thing that the club is hitting the road.
