BALTIMORE — They had lost on bobbles, bungled rundowns and bollixed fly balls.
They had lost ways the original New York Mets had never thought of in this their 40th season, yet in Maryland the Blue Jays found a different way of losing and then hit the repeat button.
After not losing on a passed ball in 25 years, they fell Wednesday in the bottom of the 10th in a strange walk-off.
Pass the smelling salts granny, that sinker is headed for the backstop.
And on a crazy night 24 hours later, when the Jays led from the 12th pitch of the game until the second out of the seventh, they lost due to another passed ball in the eighth.
