It begins tonight. The Blue Jays are good on paper, but that means nothing until they prove it in the regular season.

if they can stay healthy, they will be a hard team to beat...
A surprising 0-2 start for the Blue Jays.
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Yeah, the pitching was a bit shaky in the opener, but I'm not going to blame it for either loss.

Quite the home run derby yesterday. The Blue Jays hit 5 and the Indians hit 2 and I think all except one were second deck shots. Fortunately, the Jays prevailed 10-8.

Nice win against the dead sox. See if they can win their first series today.
Grey cup 106. Newer and bluer meanies
It's not so much the loss but the actual beat down that's pleasant to see.

I got a big chuckle out of the Blue Jays 11-1 loss in Detroit today - I have to feel a little sorry for the players, who have been sucked into the Rogers hype to sell tickets. I was a die-hard Blue Jays, starting at the snow covered CNE Stadium field in 1977, but recent events have turned me against them - it is so obvoius that Rogers has little interest in winning, and is only interested in selling tickets and in television ratings. The Rogers media agenda, manipulation, and hype have completely turned me off the Blue Jays after more than 30 years.
Now I get a good laugh when they are humiliated - next up - come on KC !
I don't know about Deerkeeper or others here, but Rogers make it almost impossible to be both an ardent Argo fan and a Blue Jays fan. You can't separate the Blue Jays from their ownership, and their media agenda - they force you into making a choice. I wonder how many Argo fans here still have strong feelings for the Blue Jays, and how many formerly were Blue Jay fans and are no longer ? A poll perhaps ?
One oar still in the water !
I continue to like both the Jays and Argos because I am not manipulated by the media or ownership.
That's a rather trollish question , but I will answer it in any case. No, I would not cease to be an Argo fan - I did not cease to be a Blue Jays fan for many years of Rogers ownership. Although Rogers continual attempts to denigrate the Argos and to promote the NFL in Toronto, have bothered me greatly over the years, I did not dump the Jays; although Rogers continually mismanaged and underfunded the Blue Jays, I did not dump the Jays.
Only this year, with the sudden decison to spend have I lost faith in the Jays. They have built a team of very questionable quality at great expense, and promoted it as the 'second coming' - I simply can't buy all the over-the-top hype. You can't build a championship team with suspect pitching, and no legitimate major league second baseman - add to that that there is little back-up for inevitable injuries and the farm system is now substantially depleted.
I have been an Argo fan ( and a CFL fan) since I first came to Canada, and saw them play more than 50 years ago. Rogers will never buy the Argos, but even if they did, I can't picture not being an Argo fan.
One oar still in the water !
