    Very happy with this decision to go back to the "Blue" Jays, the logo should never have been changed period. Paul Beeston with Jeff Blair.

    Love the new royal blue look. Why did the Marlins have to go all Don Johnson on us?
    Also, still pretty disappointed the Jays didn't win in the Yu Darvish sweepstakes. Would love to see him pitch against the Yankees.

    I am disappointed, but I guess we have to hope that he is the next Irabu.

    Bob Elliot of the Toronto Sun wins the J.G. Taylor Spink award for sportswriting at the baseball hall of fame. Jack Morris missed the cut. Barry Larkin and Ron Santo the only player inductees.

    I agree with Steve Buffery's scathing criticism of Rogers in this column: http://www.torontosun.com/2012/01/25...e-than-pal-hal

    There really is no reason why Rogers can't spend with the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox but they simply do not want to which should give fans an idea as to their commitment towards winning. As Buffery alludes to, they control so much of the media that they escape a lot of the criticism that they deserve.

    The Blue Jays have spent most of their off-season solidifying their bullpen. That area was a problem last year and I do believe they had stabilized it bringing in Sergio Santos, Francisco Cordero, Darren Oliver and re-acquiring Jason "The Human Rain Delay" Frasor. However, I am still concerned about the rotation outside of Romero. Brandon Morrow extended for a few years, but hasn't been able to find consistency. I am also still concerned about the Jays at 2B and in two of the outfield spots. They haven't made any progress against Boston, New York or Tampa IMO even if the stability in the bullpen wins them a few more games. They're probably looking at another 80-85 win season, which is where they've been for the last...oh...15 years more or less.

    See, Rogers has to recognize that, yeah attendance isn't great, but attendance won't go up until people have a reason to go to the baseball game. When you know what you're going to get it's not fun to go to the ballpark on a regular basis. I also agree with Buffery that this "small market" stuff has got to stop. Toronto is one of the largest cities in North America so don't sit there and tell me we face problems like Oakland or Kansas City in that regard. Of course (and to the delight of some on here I'm sure) that with Rogers now owning the Leafs they'll put much more focus on that asset rather than the Blue Jays.

    The Jays signed Roger Clemens' son Koby to a minor league deal. He had a good 2009 in a weaker league, but has since struggled. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/20...ith-blue-jays/

    Farewell Gary Carter. Before the Blue Jays became something you did much for baseball in Canada. RIP.

    Yes, those teams in Montreal in the late 1970's and early 1980's were certainly very good. Had some trouble getting over the hump, but the Blue Jays were also no exception to that rule until 1992.

    Just unfortuante to fall to the very 3 teams that were going to win their respective world series in 79-80-81. By a hair each time.

    As pissed as I am at Rogers and their treatment of the Argos they finally have done something right. I used to be a huge Blue Jay fan and that is the BEST logo for them period. No need to go all modern and stupid. Yes The Argos should be next with the boat. History means plenty and we're losing a ton of it.

    Even if the Argos don't choose to go back to the boat logo, I'd like to see them go back to a uniform design similar to what was worn in the 1980's.

    I totally agree for the Blue Jays logo. The old argo logo is one my faves too.

    Big tribute to Carter at the Habs game last night. Big slap in the face to Montreal for not keeping its baseball team. Even Winnipeg and Regina are better baseball cities than Montreal now.
