Being a Jays fan hasn't been all that easy for the last few (more like 20) years. We've had to deal with mediocrity on an ongoing basis, and one of the most frustrating things being a Jays fan was that for some reason the Jays cannot seem to ever beat the Tampa Rays.
Why can't they beat the Rays? I have no idea..I would like to think this is just a recent thing since the Rays have become one of the best teams in the league, but it's not. I can remember watching games when they were still the Devil Rays, long before Joe Maddon was the skipper and not understanding when the Jays were constantly loosing series after series to the rays.
Well with the news that BJ Upton signed a 5 year deal with the Braves on Wednesday I was pretty excited to see a Blue Jay killer leave the division with the hope that we've moved a little closer to winning more games against the rays than loosing. No more watching some under .300 OBP center fielder come up in 12th inning of some game and walking off the Jays! See ya Mr. Upton. You will not be missed!
