It was a night when silence truly spoke volumes.
Many of the Jays, including manager John Gibbons, begged off commenting about last night's 6-3 loss to the Yankees, officially eliminating Toronto from the AL East pennant race.
The Yankees reduced the magic number to one for clinching their ninth division title in a row. Instead of facing questions about how great the Yankees are, about another barrage of Yankee homers, the Jays politely declined.
It wasn't so much that the Yankees erased any mathematical hope Toronto might have held for the division title. Such a dream, mathematical or otherwise, vanished Aug.1-2-3 in New York when Toronto got swept at Yankee Stadium.
