    Grew up a diehard Jays fan, lost interest after 1994 and during the Ricciardi era however enjoyed their playoff run last year and this year.
    Hope they do well!!

    I don't hate the Blue Jays.
    I don't watch baseball generally - not my sport.

    I DO hate the absurd amount of coverage the Blue Jays get in this sports market.
    It's bad enough that there is one sports network (Rogers Baseballnet) dedicated to baseball and the Blue Jays, but even TSN has spent the first 45 minutes of Sportscentre discussing the Jays.

    I think they are currently analyzing the players' choice of underwear and the effect on their game performance.

    Sportsnet is understandable since they are half news and have promotion. TSN doing it is just nutso.

    The wheels fell right off the bandwagon as tickets for Tuesday afternoon's game were going for as low as $6 on stub hub!

    Even tickets for Wednesday afternoon are listed well below face value ($120 seats in 500 level for $60)

    And these are the sports "fans" that the Argonauts have to attract to their games.
    How incredibly fickle.

    It's official 4 for the good guys and 1 for the bad ones.
    The Crappers were never in it and good luck Indians in the WS.
    Thankfully it is over as the media coverage here in the city for those of us who hate the team/ownership was unbelievably over the top.
    Leading off all of the news channels, it was unbearable to watch.
    The wannabe factor here is ridiculous.

    Yes you are right, just like Leaf talk 24/7 for 365 days, there will be no down time for the Crappers.

    Doesn't the new season start the day after the old one ends. That's the way it seems to me.

    Craptors, Make Me Laughs, Argonots. I get it. Some used to be funny and can still be used when appropriate.
    Crappers = Blue Jays??? Don't get it, never will. Never funny and doesn't even make sense.

    You realize the only wannabe is you? You're a wannabe Rogers hater. Rogers gives your life meaning and you even started a thread to talk about them when nobody else was. They are in your heart and they're in your soul. They'll be on your breath as you grow old. They are practically your lovers and distant friends. They are in your soul.

    Alot less buzz surrounding the Jays this post season compared to last year. Amazingly easy avoiding any buzz in the city when i was there.

    LOL..yeah. I just prefer to root against certain teams without using the same unfunny joke names over and over again. This doesn't just go for AT either. I've had enough of non funny names like Poop, EGO Jones, Kentyboy, Stumps...etc over and over again.

    I was invited and went to game 4 and watched some of the rest of the games. Stadium was sold out, fans were loud, media was covering the team well. Rogers in excess of course. I dislike Rogers very much because of their disrespectful treatment and coverage of the Argos and CFL. But I am jealous of what the Jays Leafs Raptors and even FC get in terms of coverage. When the Argos won the 100th GC there was zero coverage of the team that offseason. Everyone blames Braley for not marketing the team and he deserves blame for that but the media deserve all they get in terms of hate from Argo fans. Winning the 100th GC was a huge deal and how the team accomplished that by coming together late in the year with GTA players leading the way was special. The next season the team finished first and should of been riding a wave of bandwagon fans like the other teams do. Instead the east final had more Ticat fans represented than argo fans. I blame the media and always will for that embarrassment. Just by doing their job (coverage of the team) would have generated interest as it does for the other teams. Because the media shows love to some but not all teams in this city I can understand why some Argo fans resent the other teams in this city when they have success.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    I agree with you.
    Here is my take.
    The Genie is out of the bottle here in the GTA, as some of us call the US wannabe capital in Canada.
    It appears the CFL and Argos will almost certainly remain near the bottom of the pecking order, save and except a one off like the GC, this year is not a good example though!
    The fault is complicated, but it reminds me of the famous interview of Leo Cahill who apparently told Shakey Hunt how the beginning of the end even though we were still selling out the CNE was when the baseball team came to the city in the 70's.
    Sure there is plenty of blame to go around with the CFL and various different owners.
    However for me it is the media perpetrated and lead of late by Rogers, back in the day it was Godfrey and the NFL pursuit.
    Then there is the kool aid drinking fans that will not accept anything that is not perceived as major league and or via the US.
    Finally, there is absolutely no excuse for so called Canadians in the largest city and together with the media to abandon what is likely the last bastion of Canadian sports heritage.
    So bringing it around to Rogers, yes I hate and that is a strong word anything connected to them and the remaining teams indirectly connected.
    Any one else want to chime in?
