Toronto Blue Jays

Might as well drive to TO Sunday and get me a Jose Reyes bobblehead. It's his birthday 3 days later.

[294life]

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.

It's a multi purpose stadium, that's all you need to know.
Not designed with the Argos in mind, that was all bs from Paul Godfrey.
In fact, even watching the Crap Jays is awful.

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

BTW I didn't know that the Argos had a Turle mascot, anyone remember his/her name ?

Its name was Domer...

[Double Dare]

Its name was Domer...

More like Dummer. Luckilyy there was never a Monster truck show the day before an Argo game!

Ah, for the good ol' days when the stadium could be converted overnight in both directions.

[paulwoods13]

Judging by those highlights, Ricky Foggie looked like a hall of famer...lol.

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.

I can see your point Ravi, that's just sad to see. Love what McCarthy says at the end.

That is correct, the Jays ownership did not own Skydome. Judging by McCarthys comments, it seems the Argos had the legal power to kick the Jays out the next day, a situation that it's probably reversed today if needed.

Nice to see the Jays off to a 7-0 lead in the top of the 4th after a couple rough nights at bat.

[Fumblitis]

Watching the Jays/Rays games the last few nights. I can't believe that Rogers has the money to burn that they do. They have this grandiose plan to boot the Argos out of the dome to put natural grass in after 2017 yet the drop all this money into this new turf that affects baseball negatively. Why wouldn't Rogers milk the old turf for all it's worth until the put natural grass in. Must be nice to have money to throw away.

Sounds like a bunch of spoiled complainers. Last years turf was past due. Not only that, it looked almost embarrasingly ugly on TV. The Jays had to get new turf, no way could they milk it another 2-3 years. The new turf looks great and the artucle says softer. Do they mean soft like real grass?!

I don't know the announcers seem to allude to it being too soft and slow, so I'm not sure.

[Neely2005]

So the Blue Jays have won 11 in a row...

[Argo57]

Plenty of time for the yearly collapse.

[ArgoRavi]

LOL! It is pretty tight in the American League and has tightened up quite a bit in their division save for the Red Sox who are lagging behind. I still think that the Jays are about a .500 team and this winning streak won't last forever.

This situation is simply another reason for me to never buy anything Rogers.
