The Jays just took two out of three against the Rays and are now 8-17. That's a .320 winning percentage. That's not good.
I wouldn't bet my own money on the Jays making the playoffs this year, but there's hope. In 1989, back when I wouldn't miss a single inning, my beloved Blue Jays were 12-24 when they fired manager Jimy Williams and gave the job to Cito Gaston. 12-24 is a .333 winning percentage. We ended up winning the AL East that year.
It won't be easy, but there is precedent in Blue Jays history, and that was before there were wild cards.
