Go Jays Go!
On Memorial Day, this most "American" of holidays, I've chosen to pay tribute to America's favorite pastime by acknowledging my hometown team, Canada's very own Toronto Blue Jays. The not-so-mighty Jays just finished sweeping the mighty Yankees, a team with a payroll many times their own, in a four-game series in New York.
aaaah , the sweet feeling of gloating.
A one star team sweeping the multiple overpaid stars of Bronx Bombers is almost as sweet as winning back-to-back World Championships in the early 90's and even if they don't win a single more game for the rest of the season, they have made us fans very proud.
Now only if they somehow pass those Damn Yankees in divisional standings, I may be forced to seek out a satellite connection to catch some of the games. Then again, I don't want to even fantasize about that as it will remind me of the "Babe's Curse" and the possibility of a colossal underdog playing baseball in October. aaaah...
