Bird Watch: One Up One Down

So this weekends games between the Cardinals and the Blue Jays made a couple things a bit apparent, first off the Jays still need one more star starting pitcher before they are complete contenders, the Jays offence isn't undefeatable and the Cardinals pitching staff seems to be getting back into the swing of things. All of the Cardinals starters for those 3 games managed to hold the Jays down so I think we can look forward to a second half comeback by the Cardinals. Though while the offensive showing during those 3 games by the Jays was disappointing they did manage to score 5 runs against the Twins Monday despite Janssen being a bit shaky and allowing the first runs he has this season. These performances just mean that both teams are not quite what we think they are, the Cardinals are not a flop and will more than likely make up a lot of ground in the coming months and the Jays, while on a bit offensive streak are likely to hit a brick wall or two on the way.
