Jays Closer BJ Ryan DONE for the Season

If the Toronto Blue Jays didn't already have enough on their plate, they just received even more troubled news. Closer BJ Ryan underwent Tommy John surgery in his left elbow and will be out for the remainder of the season.

According to TSN, Victor Zambrano will also go to the 15 day DL with Shawn Marcum taking his place in the starting rotation. Jamie Vermilyea was recalled from triple-A Syracuse and will pitch out of the bullpen.

I don't know if it is time to panic yet fellow Blue Jays fans, but we all should agree SOMETHING should be done. They have so many injuries and their record (not to mention loosing streak) is just getting worse and worse. If the ship isn't set back on course by the end of May, I am calling for John Gibbon's head! In the meantime, go out there and get a starter and some bullpen help. Those 5 or 6 games they lost at the beginning of the year due to not being able to close out a game is surely looking hurtful right now!

Until next time,
