I want to get back into baseball by way of the Jays, but they always disappoint.
I joked around with all my Jays loving co-workers that they wouldn't even be a .500 team like every year because it was annoying me the way everyone and the media in TO especially were calling them contenders without a game even played because they traded for a bunch of dudes from the worst team the previous season.
Really didn't think I'd be right!
It also annoys me how the Jays keep getting a pass and excuses for their sub-mediocrity (yes they are less than mediocre!) but the Leafs get **** on for a decade, the Jays haven't made the post season in 20 years!
I do miss the Jays of my childhood, I loved that team when I was a kid in the late 80's, every player on those teams is a legend to me. Suffice to say the years following the WS wins slowly but surely erroded my love of baseball, and then I got into hockey mid 90's and it's really hard to get into the slow play of baseball for me now.
Raps were exciting when Vince, McGrady, Oakley, Davis etc were here. It's been pretty bleak since then unfortunately. Basketball is the only sport that has the potential to excite like hockey does for me.
