Attended last nights 6-4 loss to Houston approx 15k attendance, no atmosphere at all in the building, long gone are the Jays glory days.
The Jays are playing half-decent baseball right now. Still very early though.

I bought a ticket for the season finale. Hopefully they can either finally win the division or a playoff spot. Four months to go

Looks like their TV ratings are on the up though.
Might as well drive to TO Sunday and get me a Jose Reyes bobblehead. It's his birthday 3 days later.

Well in spite of the jays' struggles I can't exactly miss Derek Jeter's last ever game in Canada Sunday. As for the cats Monday I can always go see the marauders instead so I'm keeping my hotel room.

I know that some of the younger posters have a difficult time understanding why some Argos fans have a dislike of the Jays and I know that this dislike may not be entirely logical but I think this clip from 1990 (see the last bit of it in particular) explains why there have been hard feelings for so long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS8_saHeqCU
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Ah, for the good ol' days when the stadium could be converted overnight in both directions.
The Argos' offence in 1990 was so far beyond other teams' that not only Foggie but even the third-string guy (Willie Gillus) looked dominant at times. But Foggie was really sensational that year, including one game where he passed for seven TDs and ran for 100 yards!

Is that not on SkyDome rather than the Blue Jays though? Remember the Blue Jays ownership had nothing to do with SkyDome's ownership at the time.
Yeah, Foggie's deficiencies as a Quarterback really didn't manifest themselves until he was handed the undisputed starter's job in 1992. I'd still contend that based purely on reading game summaries from late in the 1991 season that the Argos were winning some games in spite of Foggie.
