But I also cheer for underdogs and people/teams who haven't yet had it all, so I won't mind if the Jays get into the World Series. As I'm also a Giants fan, I am well set to enjoy the post-season play, as long as the Cubs don't win it all. The jays chances are not so bad. Oakland's ace, Dave Stewart, is, and always has been, a first half pitcher. For each of the last three years (and maybe more), he's been (one of) the first to 10 wins, and has had a great record at the all-star break, but his 2nd half stats have never been as good as his first half. We shall see. *D*
