....because of Rogers (the owners). Take it from me. I know a lot of people in the sports world. Hell it's my job. (I edit sports clips, AND FOR THE LAST TIME, yes i am a girl)
Before the Jays even played one game, the idiot owners (Rogers) pretty much declared them the world series champs. There was relentless new ads, comparisons to the 1993 team, lots of talk.
They showed all the highlights of the old world series champs, had the sports stations (owned by Rogers) pumping all the tires of the pitching staff, etc...and the worst part, on opening day, the big stupid long ceremony of introducing all the players, and showing the highlights of the old world series team winning, etc.. you should have seen the look on the faces of their opponents that day, the Indians, they were like "wtf, we gonna show them". Jays lost.
What they did (Rogers) is they DROVE the WILL out of these players. When you think you ALREADY WON the world series it messes with your desire to win.
After a losing month, they will begin to see hey we actually have to work. We have to double batting practice time. No more "showing the new boys" around town on game nights. Time to fight, and fight to win, not just expect 3 run homers in the 8th to bail them out.
So ride the storm, and in June+ this team will be money.

Rogers was doing what any smart business would do.
TV ratings were off the charts because of all the hype. The team already has more sell outs this year than last year. Probably already more games with 40k+ than last year.
Merchandise sales have increased for the 2nd year in a row.
Good business move

What are you talking about? Yesterday's game was over 40,000 and todays is a sell out.
Week day games are bad because of the Leafs being in a playoff race and playing the same time during Jays.
Get your facts straight
Can you read? OR are you just a big idiot? I SAID Thank god for the Yankees this weekend you moron. Wow, another idiot have to deal with at Covers. Stupid clown, learn to read

She is probably right about the Jays being over-hyped (and why they were a good fade on the books) and Lind is prob right about it being a good business decision. This is a business all about money in the end.
I have no clue about what the attendance should or shouldn't be in Toronto, but I don't think April baseball brings out the fans in droves in any Stadium, let alone in Canada.
Aren't they more interested in Hockey right now?
not that I have anything against Canadians or Hockey

it's baseball plain and simple when a good team has a bad 15 game stretch in the middle of the season are you going to come up with bs excuses for them too?

This is uncalled for. You don't want people to bash you, don't go around calling them idiots and clowns. Just ignore and move on.

This is also EXTREMELY uncalled for. Female or male, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Anymore talk like this by anyone will result in a suspension.

your assessment of their play and future goals is all based on here say, and emotions, you can't prove any of that statistically, gimme some numbers or your point is moot and can't be argued
