Jays all-star daze is horrible for their playoff chances

For the third game in a row the Jays have been their own worst enemy and what should be a 5 game win streak and be matching their season high of 5 games over 500 and being a game behind the Orioles and a game and a half behind the Angels for the No.1 wild card spot but after a 2-0 loss to the White Soxs they are a season low of a game under 500 and is four games behind the Orioles and 4.5 behind the Angels. The Jays are in a big all-star daze as Jose Bautista with one out in the ninth got a double with Edwin coming up but Bautista decided to try and stretch it into a triple but Youkilis tagged him to end the game which is not even a major league mistake and it is a rookie ball mistake. When Edwin came up he may of been able to turn around a ball instead of striking out to end the game as he had already been able to get one of the Jays hits in the game and has that bat that Bautista has had the past two seasons and get that solid hit to bring him in. Adam Lind was left on deck and has gone 10 of 38 (.263) since returning and half his hits are x-base hits (4 homers and a double) so the Jays really had the chance to tie up the game if not get the lead and have the chance to bring in Janssen to finish the game. Ricky Romero throw alot of pitches in the game 105 over six innings and did walk 3 but only gave up 4 hits while on the mound and it was only one of them that hurt him and it was a two-run homer by Kevin Youkilis in the fifth inning with two outs in the inning and Alexei Ramirez had started the inning with a ground ball single and was escorted home by Youkilis. Ricky Romero only got himself in real trouble in the fourth when he gave up a walk and ground ball single and was helped by a double play ball off the bat of Alex Rios and he had 10 ground ball outs to 4 fly ball outs and he gave up two ground ball base hits and a line drive hit along with the homer. Ricky did get out of the first with one out with runners on the corners and got a key k of Paul Konerko one of his two ks in the game and it is something to really build off of for the second half for Romero and is the second straight game of being able to get ground balls. The Jays had trouble against Gavin Floyd who pitched 7.2 innings and was able to keep the Jays off balance and did not have more than a single runner on base during his outing and gave up 4 hits and two walks and 3 ks. Jays will need to get awake up call for tomorrow and hopefully Brett Lawrie will be back in the lineup as he left with a back injury Tom Mehegan
