"9. The Suits Have Left the Building

Hey, remember when the Jays won all the time and everyone wanted to go to the game, but no one could get good seats because all those dudes in suits would sit there on their cell phones over the dugout for the entire game?"

The Jays haven't "won all the time" since 1993.  No one had cell phones in 1993.

I'd like to add a reason 11: all you can eat games. 

There's nothing quite like sitting in the 200 level outfield with 3 hotdogs, nachoes, and popcorn in your lap watching the Jays win.]]>

RichardS:

just shrink the hat.

run it under some warm/hot water for a minute or two (drench it) then put it on your head.  The hat should shrink a bit.

If it's not THAT big on you, you could probably get it from, say, an 8 to about a 7 3/4 or 7 5/8.  But if it's an 8 and you take a 7 then you're S.O.L.]]>

If this story was posted today, why didn't it say that they have won all six of their series in 2009? To all those who heavily dislike the Jays, we'll see you jump on the bandwagon halfway through the season when they outperform TBay's surprise performance last season.]]>

I actually had the opportunity to meet Cito a few months ago - a real class act. Interesting fact: since he's taken over, the Jays have been the best team in the AL East.


Its great to have two Toronto teams at the top of the table! :D
The Jays are on top of the league, TFC is on top of the Eastern Conference.

My problem is I got a Jays hat as a gift that's 1 size too big:( now I have to try and sell it. Its a shame, I really like how it looked.]]>

Great article, couldn't agree with it more... and Screwface, you're spot on, Cito is the difference.  I'm a huge Jays if the team is winning or not but will admit that it's not the most exciting of sports for most people and can understand why people haven't given a shit the past decade... but hey, I'm all for a massive bandwagon and filling the dome by the summer.  Bring back the glory days.  That would just rock.  ]]>

You forgot the Number 1 reason to Start / keep Watching the Blue Jays.

CITO GASTON

A Toronto living legend, no one has the credentials like Cito when it comes to winning. Maybe MLSE should contact Cito for some Godfather-like wisdom. 
The Blue Jays are winning again, with Cito at the helm. Coincidence? I think not. But what Cito needs to do now is open the Dome!]]>

I couldn't agree with the author more - it's been a blast watching the Jays play this year...not the least because it kind of came out of nowhere.  I've been to 4 games already at the Dome (which is just so-so for me) and the fans in attendance (all 20,000+) have been fantastic and enthusiastic.  I'm heading to my first Flashback Friday game this week (Molitor will be there) and I can't wait.

I know that the winning streak may not last, although I obviously hope it does, but as long as they have great players who work hard every time they're on the field (Scutaro, Rolen, Snider, Hill), I'll be watching.  Go Jays!]]>

some good points. i was back at the dome for the world classic can v. us game. it was fantastic baseball and we had a great time but i have to disagree with the writer. the dome DOES suck. a lot. i did notice that it has become less of a police state but that does not compensate for all the other hundreds of ways in which it sucks.

also... the last jays game i went to dragged on endlessly. there were lots of runs and the jays were winning but the long waits between batters and even longer ones between innings made the afternoon a huge snore. we bailed at hour four.

sorry ... but i will continue to visit christie pits for my baseball fix and avoid the sucky dome as usually.]]>

I don't think the dome thing can be emphasized enough.  I moved here from NYC and am the veteran of many Yanks/Mets rainouts and rain delays.  It's so demoralizing to spend money on tickets, make plans for the game, drag your ass up there and end up sitting sopping and bored through a three or four hour delay that robs the place of any atmosphere.  I'm kinda with Mr Pessimist that it won't last, but regardless it's a fun night out.]]>

Shame this had to come after yesterdays game, eh?

I refuse to jump on the bandwagon. As a Toronto fan, I know that disappointment is always around the corner. A lot of their guys are batting way above what they should be and the pitching roster is SUSPECT.

That said, I fully plan to go to a few games this summer. Baseball in Toronto is still a fun and relatively cheap way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and I still watch all the games on TV too. I'm just not getting my hopes up (yet). ]]>

you hit the nail on the head! all of these are EXACTLY why i never doubted their abilities. im in my 16th year of watching blue jays baseball (i started just as they won their last world series) and i've been very fascinated with the offensive prowess. 
go jays go!]]>
