As part of our season preview, FanHouse asked bloggers from around the internet to write a poem previewing their team's upcoming season in a series entitled MLB Poetry Previews. It's like high school English class, except about baseball!
For today's poem, we remain in house and sadly report: Jays fans are doomed to another third place finish.
The Blue Jays are a perennial also-ran
This isn't a particularly good time to be a fan
It's tough to compete against the Yankees and Sox
We all know how it's gonna look in that standings box
The Injury God has been quite a beast
There's just no contending in the AL East
Starting pitching has the potential to be great
But Halladay and Ryan have been banged up as of late
As for offense there really isn't much to speak of
Thomas and Wells can't carry the team when push comes to shove
Aside from the pitching, which injuries will likely harm
This team is just average -- they should work on their farm.
