Toronto will embrace the Jays again when they've got a shot at a winning season

Posted by Reagen (aka Reagen) Apr 20 '10, 08:44

it also makes a big difference who the Jays' owners are - one of the bigger cable companies in the country, if not the biggest. They've got deep pockets and cheap programming.

Yep, they ain't Cubs fans. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:57

- and I can't imagine that the Jays are attracting many people on road trips -- nm - zork Apr 20, 08:49 1
  - Nope. Traditionally one of three worst draws. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 20, 09:08
so when they leave the AL East? :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:45 29
- you joke, but it's a possibility. - Reagen Apr 20, 08:46 28
  - I can't believe that a bigger deal isn't made about how patently unfair an unbalanced shedule is in baseball. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 08:57 13
    - C'mon...we like having 54 games vs 3 of the 6? best teams in baseball - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:59 5

        We play 18 games in division; 9? outside.... that's schedule imbalance - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:02 3
        
        The imbalance i"m talking about could be 90% solved by getting rid of interleague play. - musubi Apr 20, 09:09 2

        it's not like they have to take the train to travel and can really only play teams close to home -- nm - zork Apr 20, 09:14

      - I don't hear enough. I'm still pissed we start and end the season on the road in Boston. - Krusty Apr 20, 09:00 5

        You're the CHAMPS! You shouldn't have to start on the road like that with that schedule. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:03 2

        Yup. The banner should have been raised on the first day of the season not game seven of the season. - Krusty Apr 20, 09:05
        
        It should be simple, if you start the season on the road you end at home. - Krusty Apr 20, 09:03
  - I wasn't kidding...just made me smile -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:53
  - I really think the Red Sox and Yankees can't maintain their current paces without a stumble in the next couple of years. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 20, 08:49 12
    - The Sox might not, but the Yankees can. Cashman now has control of the ship, and his pockets are *deep*. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 08:58 1
      - Yeah, they missed the playoffs once and he went out and spent 440mil on the best pitcher and hitter - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:01
    - Until you get a system where they can't just buy the top 3 free agents (ala New York last year), they shouldn't ever go more than 1 year stumbles - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:50 8
      - I'm one of the biggest opponents of a salary cap (in theory), but I see it looming on the horizon. - musubi Apr 20, 09:00 4
        
        I'm all for it given the nature of the disparities you see in the AL East - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:05 3
        
        I'd much rather see a form of the Larry Bird Exemption in baseball though - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:09 2
        
        I like it in theory, but I don't like the way it's been abused in the NBA for sign and trades. Rules need to be implemented to fix that. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 09:11 1
        
        Yeah, modify as necessary. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:12
      - Yup. Too much money to buy young talent and established stars. - Krusty Apr 20, 08:57
      - Riccardi screwed the Jays for about three years to come. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 08:56 1
        
        Screw that asshat. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 08:59
