Okay.

This team defines what a good team is. Did you see that folks? The Jays went into Yankee stadium and spanked them 6-0.

I'm feeling awfully good right now....And you know what? I'm gonna feel even better when they go for the sweep tomorrow. I'm feeling high fellas from winning. Now I could see how you guys felt last year when you went on that winning skid and came within a game of winning the World Series. That's just an awfully good feeling, eh? I empathize with you. I know I will this year

You know what's interesting guys? When a lot of critics, like yourselves, heh say we have pitching issues but guess what? Since the all-star break, the Toronto Bluejays have a 14-6 record with team 2.71 Era which is best in the majors.

Fellas, I can't help myself but when you're this good, all I gotta say is:

JUST.

BRING.

IT.

Would you rather have Rogers or MLSE own the Jays?

I understand Rogers' uses them to market their business, but they have to be better than MLSE, right? All MLSE does is spend, spend, spend and put people who are inept at running a franchise in charge, though Leiweke is a great person to have aboard.

Dear Royals fans ...

Just stop posting in these threads. Who cares?

Yes. I don't know. Maybe? Nobody cares.

Bottom line - every team goes through a hot streak, and bricks is trolling because they took 3 of 4 from us in their house. If they keep their big three on the juice and keep crowding the plate, they will be tough in the playoffs, especially with those pitchers. But let's see them get there first - the last time they were in the playoffs was the last time the Chiefs won in the post season.

The Blue Jays have the best run differential in all of baseball while the Twins have the 16th best. They also have the 2nd best Pythagorean record in MLB, while the Twins have the 17th best.

Meaning, your comparison is similar of that to an apple and broccoli.

And the year before, it had been 30 for us

Bricks is a super huge douche trying to get attention. Put him on ignore, and ignore these threads. We can worry about the blue jays if we play them in the postseason. We're already in, they got work to do

Bricks also spells it Bluejays and offence.

So there's that.

Have you ever tried apple baked broccoli? No? Then

That's the metric way of spelling offense

MLSE had the Leafs at the highest payroll in the NHL before the cap era, so I'd still say them. They would probably do much the same with the Jays if they owned them.

**Bowser** · 08-08-2015, 08:19 PM

The Blue Jays are good. Frankly, I love to see any team in the East not from New York or Boston win that division. I don't really want to see them in the post season, but like Hootie said, we'll worry about them when we get there.

No. The Twins were never anything close to legit. They are built for 2016/2017 and beyond.

I'm well aware. I've somehow been a fan of both over that whole time period.

Somehow turned Brett Lawrie and scraps into Josh Donaldson and the corpse of Jose Reyes and a prospect into Troy Tulowitzki. I'll take that.

Huh. I missed over the years you being a Blue Jay fan. How does one be a KU/Chiefs/Blue Jay fan, anyway? Hooked up with some hottie from Toronto once, didn't you?

Born in Toronto, spent many years living in KC and attended KU.
