Even though I'm not a baseball fan, I'm happy that the Blue Jays went back to their roots. 1argoholic is right, way too many logo/jersey changes in sports, should just stick with the classics.

I like the new jerseys as well, particularly the road greys. I was always a fan of the old road greys from the early 90's.
TORONTO ARGONAUTS FOOTBALL CLUB
GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
The Blue Jays have had a hot spring so far. While spring training means very little there are some very promising signs. Brett Lawrie looks really good so far and should hopefully be an anchor at third for the Blue Jays. Each of the potential starters have also looked good so far this spring. I was most concerned about the rotation outside of Ricky Romero and maybe Brandon Morrow, but Brett Cecil and Henderson Alvarez have both looked good as well.
22-4. I know it's just pre-season, but DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!
The Blue Jays took flight yesterday with a 7-4 win over Cleveland. In 16 innings! That is the longest opener in MLB history. J.P Arencibia was the hero with a 3-run shot in the top of the 16th. The Jays bullpen was also extremely effective.
2-0 with another come from behind win. The Blue Jays can't seem to get much going against the Cleveland starters, but were able to stay in the game until they could get to the Indians' bullpen.
T-Bone and I are heading tonights and Sundays game If anyone wanted to join for a beerisk
Here is an article from Saturday's Globe and Mail on the continuing attendance struggles of the Blue Jays: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sport...rticle2449815/
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
I can't wish that much ill will on the Jays when I know that you are a fan, Will. I just found this interesting because the Jays are in a similar boat to the Argos with their attendance and seem to be trying some of the same things (i.e., using social media) to improve their numbers.

This came from the following article about the Jays: http://www.torontosun.com/2012/06/14...-good-for-jays
"If you are a fan it’s probably time to take off your Blue Jays hat, fire it into the back of your closet, root around and pluck out your Argos cap."
Anyway, speaking of the Jays, are they really not just meeting expectations for this season? I know that their phenomenal spring training record raised expectations even though it should not have but most predicted prior to that that this would be a .500 team.

The Blue Jays haven't been getting any consistent starting pitching outside of Brandon Morrow. He is now out indefinitely with a strained oblique muscle. Ricky Romero has struggled with his mechanics this year and while his record is descent his ERA is above 4.
Good news: I'm going to the Jays/Phillies game tomorrow. Bad news: I just read that Hutchison left the game today with injury/soreness.
Great crowd on hand for the Blue Jays vs Angels on Canada Day game in TO yesterday, and Cordero blows another game, very disappointing, what are they waiting for to get rid of this guy.

The only yardstick for success in our society, is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.
Another Blue Jays pitcher Luis Perez goes to the DL. This is getting ridiculous now!
Yeah, what the heck is going on? Talk about a jinx, wow.

Here is another attendance update on the Jays: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sport...rticle4472581/
The attendance is looking much better now than it was earlier in the season.
