text: The upbeat tone of the column bears no relation to how the game went.  Your Js were outplayed in all aspects of the game, all aspects.  Pitching, hitting, defence, running the bases, fundamentals, power, bullpen.
  
  CWS might be 31-36, and last in the AL Central, true, but Your Js, they are 32-35 in AL East, also in last.  Your Js 3 games out of the WC, CWS only 4.  CWS have a RD to the good by 8 runs, Your Js to the bad by  21.
  
  So now, Your Js hafta win tomorrow to avoid a sweep at the hands of 1 of the few teams in the AL with a worse record than they.  Unbelievable.
  
  And please, Stroman gave up 3 HRs.  Solo or not, that's not good pitching, he certainly did not have a good game.  His game score, for those who take note of such stats, was 46.
  
  46 is not good.  Nothing wrong with being positive, but being in denial is something else entirely.
