Toronto Blue Jays Talk

Used to be a big fan of the Jays and Expos and went to many games but after the strike... they lost me as a fan and I think I've been to one game since the strike.

I will admit, the Jays crazy start this season had me curious and I have been keeping tabs on them so far.

But you won't catch me at a game unless it's via an invite to a luxury box were everything is paid for.

I'm a follower of the Jays but I wouldn't call myself a fan per se.

Looks like they're finding their legs again after that horried 9 straight loss run they went on.

I'm going to watch a Tigers game this summer in Detroit, can't wait :^^^^:

I went to see the Orioles play at Camden Yard a couple years ago - client took the team out for an all-expenses paid evening. It was a fun time - very nice stadium and saw a grand slam.

Orioles aren't doing too good this year

I hate the sport of baseball. I was offered a scholorship to Ohio State and turned it down because of how much I hated the sport.

am like you, not a baseball fan, but I keep tabs on the jays, if it came down to watching poker or baseball, I would watch poker.

i keep some tabs on the blue jays and from time to time may watch an inning but i wouldnt say a fan i prefer the sport of soccer than baseball

I was in Toronto this weekend to catch two of their games against the Royals. I'd easily qualify as a Blue Jays fan, I still remember Carter's walk-off homerun.

I was at a house party on Bronson Ave... which somehow got "sponsored' by Labatt... the whole evening is a bit hazy but I do remember the home run and then the whole place going bonkers...

BTW they have a Tigers forum in the redwingsonline.net forum I mentioned last week.

The Jays shut down the Texas offense by blanking them 9 nothing.

Now riding a 3 game win streak and holding position by keeping pace with the Sox and Yankees all with 6 - 4 records over the last 10 things are starting to look up for TO. There's still much work to do with a 13 - 17 road record but it's nice to see them putting some wins together.

Nice win last night - the bats were swinging well... hopefully they can catch up to the Sox and Yanks and sit on top again.

Nice win that Blue Jays, please catch the Yankees up, good win too for the Mets i believe over The Phillies. :___:

Not a big Yankees fan eh? I suppose you either love'm or hate'm.

I hope the Jays can pull ahead and make the post season but I'm not holding my breath. We're stuck with the Yankees and Sox who almost always get in. The Jays have to hope for the Wild card this season I think. I'll keep hoping though.

impressive game last night, hopefully the sox and yanks can split their series or at least play somewhat even, allowing the Jays to make up some ground until they play either of those teams.

Love the jays (pretty much watch or listen to parts of every game).

Wells for Heatley?

don't think Heatley would play for Gaston, Cito is a bit of a hard Donkey and I bet they would clash.

Nope i liken the Yankee's, to The Cowboys and Manchester United as the teams i most dislike.

I consider myself a die hard Jay's fan.... Hate the Yanks and Bo Sox

It's really sad to see such a promising start slowly go down in flames. Are they even a .500 club anymore?

nope, the losses to the O's have dropped them below .500, only good thing is that Hill, Lind, and Halladay are still having great seasons.

Edit: only good team to watch in Toronto is the Raps, and that is if you like basketball. This could be one of the last years for Halladay is going to be traded, before it was unheard of, now Ricciardi is listening to offers, come this trade deadline or next, the Doc could be in different colours, hope its not the Yanks or Red Sox.
