Mining more National lyrics for game thread titles, I'm afraid. After a disappointing series in a long, long line of disappointing series, the Jays return home essentially out of contention (7.5 GB) for a playoff spot.
Troy Glaus continues to rest his sore left foot, while the underachieving Jays offense plays behind the one pitcher they have been supporting this season, Doc Halladay. The defense and offense will have to be much better if the Jays want to finish any higher than .500, but with the way the pitchers have been throwing, it's hard not to be optimistic about next season.
