@Ok? Ok! Blue Jays? Blue Jays!: That totally wasn't a subliminal shot. Considering of what I have heard that has just transpired.

I for one, am a fan of Mr. Rogers / Mr. Godfrey. Better than cheering the Washington Blue Jays. But it's not like anyone here is around to debate me on the topic.

But you people will come back to this preview, and read it throughly, once you realize that the Blue Jays are in FIRST place of the AL East by the All-Star Break (or at least FIRST in the Wild-card) and you ask yourselves How? I'll tell you how. Th

Damn. Since I missed the train, if anyone wants to post-whore this page up, feel free. More # of comments on the front page would make it seem that the Blue Jays are worth giving a damn about. I swear their worth it!

Anyways was the Tao of Stieb busy? Or those BirdBanters?Or am I talking to myself again?

You've met more White Sox fans than Jays fans? I call bullshit. Even in Chicago nobody cheers for the White Sox.

As for Canadian beer vs. American beer...pretty sure there are immigration people on their way to your place right now to deport you.

]]> <![CDATA[Baseball Season Preview: Toronto Blue Jays]]> 1) the Jays came in 2nd in the AL East in 2006.
2) i live in Canada, and i've met more Yankees, White Sox & Tigers fans than Jays fans.
3) Canadian beer is the same as American beer. The weed here, however, is outstanding
4) Geddy Lee is a BIG FAN, eh?

]]> <![CDATA[Baseball Season Preview: Toronto Blue Jays]]> Oh Neate, ever since Frank D'Angelo sued you the anger has come out full force. Even the DrunkJaysFans don't write this angrily.

Seriously though, the Jays are going to lose a lot of 3-2 games. We're counting on Reed Johnson's goatee, the leprechaun-esque David Eckstein, the leader of Zaunbie nation, the ghost of Frank Thomas, Stone Cold Matt Stairs (if you think he can run to first base in under 8 seconds, gimme a hell yeah!), Scott Rolen's shoulder and Wally Joyner version 2.0, Lyle Overbay.

]]> <![CDATA[Baseball Season Preview: Toronto Blue Jays]]> The Blue Jays are the Purdue of the MLB. Everytime I turn on the TV, or go to a game, it feels like my team is playing them. They aren't horrible, but they aren't great. Vegetable Lasagna.

OhTheHugeManatee

]]> <![CDATA[Baseball Season Preview: Toronto Blue Jays]]> One problem with that. Toronto is only smaller than NYC, LA, Chicago, San Fran and Philly.

twoeightnine

]]> <![CDATA[Baseball Season Preview: Toronto Blue Jays]]> @twoeightnine: Don't lose sight of the fact that Canada is 1/10th the size of the US. So, getting 3,500 fans to a game in Toronto is like drawing... um, fuck - I don't know. A lot of people.

It's either that or the Rochester Red Wings. And the Red Wings are the Twins' affiliate, so there's not much talent to write about.

Next time you're in town, hit Queen St. (massive fire this week, avoid that part), College, Bloor west, or St. Clair = a better vibe of what this city if about.
