Toronto Blue Jays

[mchesher03]

I support all Toronto teams to varying degrees (some more than others) but at the end of the day I'd never cheer for another city's team over ours. Doesn't make sense to me.

I'm the same way. What makes even less sense to me is cheering for the failure of another team in your city. To each their own, I guess.

Lawrie activated off the DL, but Sergio Santos goes on the 15-day DL with a tricep injury.

That's good and bad.

Blue Jays win 4-3 over the White Sox.

It was a fun game to watch in person.

Agreed. So why is Rogers going out of their way to do that to the Argos?

Urban myth. Show actual proof of them going out of their way.

Those Argo Grey Cup banners that used to hang off the ceiling of the Rogers Centre didn't come down by themselves. Somebody had to go out of their way to climb up there and take them all down.

The Expos Nation ( yes you can all laugh) is organizing a trip to see the Jays and Rays july 20th in an effort to promote a return for baseball in montreal. almost 300 tix have been sold so it should make for a nice group. i'll be joining them.

Those banners are still up there, they are on a cable that can be pulled across like a curtain. When they put out the foul pole nets for baseball they pull the banners in at the same time. At the ACC the Toronto Rock banners are not visible when the Rock are not playing.

Doesn't make it right though, the fact that they aren't displayed.

The Jays split the four-game series with the White Sox winning 3-1 yesterday. R.A Dickey pitched superbly, but left with stiffness in his neck and back. The Jays seem to have little luck with injuries.

Never said it was right or wrong. The point is Rogers is not the only facility owner that does it.

I would love to see them sweep the Yankees this weekend.

So now we know how it's done, just not why it's done.

I assume it's because they want to promote the team they own, in the stadium that they own and not the team they don't own.

More and more sports teams across North America in similar situations started doing it when "branding" became such a big deal. Pure economics. (and not the kind sponsored by Reynolds)

Tough loss today but at least it was a sellout. Don't see much of those anymore. Better luck against the hens tonight.

[T-Bone]

Another Loss…

looks like october will be free for football after all

[ArgoRavi]

The Jays are currently winning 6-5 in the 11th inning today. Can they hang on?

hadn't until now. I guess when the F word is used it helps to reconsider.

Ultimately the point being made in the article is that it is still too early to determine where the Jays will end up.

yeah series sweep to the yankees cannot be an accurate indicator.
