Moment of Levity: The Big Picture
Something tells us that Edwin Encarnacion wasn't trying to sum up the Blue Jays' entire season when he offered up this assessment of a Sean Henn offering on Monday night, but it sure feels about right, doesn't it?

On Monday, the White Sox picked up Alex Rios, a two-time All-Star with the youth to overcome a couple sub par seasons and still grow into the player the Blue Jays thought he would become when they gave him a $70 million contract.
