Can't blame Gibbons for Jays stars failing to shine

The more this Blue Jays season plods in the wrong direction, the louder the calls will be for the firing of manager John Gibbons.

It is, as he might say, part of the job. Cito Gaston lived with it in some of the best of Blue Jays seasons. Gibbons lives with it now, through another early season spinning in circles.

He knows what’s said about him. He knows the public persona of his doesn’t buy him a whole lot of time with a frustrated fan base. He knows that the serial unfairness of social media has hashtags and websites and and other ditties dedicated to nothing more than his unemployment.
