I'll admit it, I thought Brandon was primed to bust out for a sensational season with the potential to be the Blue Jays closer at the end of the season. He still might reach that level, but so far this season, he has been pathetic...
After the Jays crawled back to cut the 4 run Cleveland lead to 1, he promptly gave up a 2 run homer to Travis Hafner, eventually getting tagged for 3 runs. Toronto might have lost the game anyways, but a brutal performance like that squashed any hopes of a comeback. In the first game of the series, he walked a batter and beaned another to cough up the lead (luckily he still posted the victory because of a 6 run outburst by the team) After those two poor outings, he now has a bloated ERA of 9.00!
With Blow Jay Ryan having a disgusting start to the campaign, League had an outstanding opportunity to really prove he could handle more for the club. But after the first week in the 2009 season, he might just be pitching himself out of a job...

I once heard a comment as follows, " The Blue Jays don't win, because they don't have too"
What is your opinion?
I hear that kind of comment made about the Maple Leafs all the time. It's still a bit of crock for the Leafs, but the Jays need to win because they aren't close to selling out most games. The city of Toronto is STARVED for a winning baseball team. It was obvious, because fans came out in droves for the World Baseball Classic, so there is a market for quality baseball here...
