Blue Jays Journal

This isn’t a major surprise.  The Jays gave John Gibbons a one year contract extension through 2008 today after leading the team to its first second place finish since 1993.  On the one hand, Gibbons has done a decent enough job in a very tough division but on the other hand, you have the whole Shea Hillenbrand/ship is sinking episode.  It doesn’t hurt when guys like Roy Halladay and Vernon Wells endorse you though.
