The 2007 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished 3rd in the AL East, 13 games back. They spent 10 of 183 days in first place, led by as many as 1 game on April 9 and were as far as 16 games back on September 12. Their best month was July at 14-12, their worst May at 12-16. The longest runs were a 5-game winning streak from July 21 to July 25 and a 9-game losing streak from May 1 to May 10.

The players whose season belongs to this club, by position and then by dbWAR. A player traded mid-season is listed with the club he played most of his games for, so a deadline arrival may appear on his other club’s page instead.
Each rectangle is a player, sized by his share of the team's hits; darker means a larger share. Top 30 contributors. Select a different statistic above, or click a player for his page.
Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

By season
Regulation games only, in minutes. 167 minutes this season.
Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.
Record versus run differential
Toronto Blue Jays are 83-79, a .512 win rate, while their +54 run differential implies .534. That is about 4 wins behind it, which tends to regress upward.
