It's been nearly a month since Buck Martinez criticized the New York Yankees. When the Blue Jays beat the Houston Astros on Sept. 9, the story wasn't about the final result (a 4-3 Toronto win). “Contrary to some thoughts up here, we’re a really good team," Boone told reporters on Friday. They nearly caught the Blue Jays for the AL East Division crown (and top spot in the American League), ending their season with identical 94-68 records. We'll see if Martinez gets to respond with an "I told you so" moment after the Blue Jays and Yankees battle each other in the playoffs for the first time ever.
