5-0 loss for the blue birds today. only 3.5 up.

 

Don't think theres any doubt the jays make the playoffs, but not convinced they win the AL EAST. 

That's actually a pretty big lead in baseball at this time of year. The Jays play in Atlanta next and host the Yankees again. Thinking that will decide the East.

Its funny as a kid we got a American satellite dish and the only team that I could see in a regular basis was the Cubs back then WGN had almost every game on TV.. With the majority of the games being on during the afternoon just summer break I became a fan of the Cubs. We got very few Jays games back then on the over the air TV.

Rogers never let them spend the money before this year. They opened the piggy bank, and voila....competitive team. 

 

Payroll is lower this season than the two before, right at MLB average.

 

Nice of MLB to schedule the Jays ALDS home games during weekday afternoons so nobody can watch.

 

Nobody cares about the Blue Jays in the States, ratings in Canada mean nothing to american broadcasters

I was joking with my dad last night watching classic mlb featuring the back to back philly games they came back to win 15-14 & 7-6, that what kinda horror that woulda been if the jays and expos faced each other the next year prior to the lock out, as having 2 canadian teams in americas passtime championship game would likely not have great US ratings, in fact probably very low viewership near all time lows. The gates would be jammed packed but other then transplanted canadians down south its tough to get americans cheering anyting canadian in any sport. Dicks lol

I argue tho the impression mlb broadcasters and fans of baseball in general have with a hot blue jays team. The rogers center has been sold out and playoff electric for months. Away games are loaded with jays fans in otherwise graveyard stands and you cant ignore the ratings the jays/yankee series got after the all star break. With an entire country backing the jays like they have its yankee like in support. Very few teams even when top of standings can do that. Id say maybe yankees, red sox and dodgers would be the select few but thats because those teams are like religions

What is this about it being scheduled in the afternoon? They haven't even determined the time.

This was announced yesterday:

 

For Game #1 of ALDS (Thursday), we will play at 4:07pm if #Yankees win or 3:37pm if #Astros win the Wild Card Game.
