Agree 100%, I've been taking my son and daughter to games at Target Field since they were 5 and 7 respectively. They are more than content to watch much of the game, tour the concourse, look for TC and eat hot dogs, peanuts and that frozen lemonade stuff that makes my face pucker. Sundays are great days to go, they both still enjoy running the bases and my son likes to go early and sit by the dugout in the hopes of catching the odd autograph. They also stay pretty amused trying to get themselves on the Jumbotron and won't go anywhere until the mascot race has finished. I've sat pretty much everywhere with them but on Sundays try to stay out of the hot sun and stick to somewhere along the 1st base, RF side.

I'll take that as an official moving of the goal posts, or just a double standard.

Wait, aren't you the win the World Series or bust guy? Or does that only apply to TR and the Twins?

And not so much the Jays, can't work for everyone.

I don't like the Jays and I'm happy with the outcome......but that wasn't a strike.

I probably celebrated enough for the both of us Chief, sorry you missed it. See ya Toronna!

Careful Smerf, this job sounds like it could be a slippery slope. I'll be here all week, thx.

Chi, you inside? Have your riot gear ready?

Stephen Harper out, Blue Jays win.....1 out of 2 ain't bad.

Monumental day for Canada in electing an overwhelming Liberal majority. The election was really as much about change and Canadians ridding themselves of the divisive politics of fear brought about by Stephen Harper as much as it was about young Mr. Trudeau. . Most encouragingly, it was a rejection of negative, hate politics, you could really feel in the last week of the election that the electorate was sick of the attack ads promoted by the Conservatives towards Trudeau. I honestly feel the majority of Canadians felt the ads and the style of Harper were beneath them, and they voted overwhelmingly in that fashion. Harper vastly underestimated the middle vote, he took for granted the number of Tories who purely voted for him due to a lack of a real home, the Liberals have been in disarray since the sponsorship scandal of 2004 and left many middle Canadians without an alternative. The NDP vote was an aberration in the last election and really more a matter of Quebec rejecting Harper as a voice in the province. Small c Conservatives have always had an uneasy alliance with the further right Harper Conservatives, his autocratic style led to illusions of unity, but today, when presented with a opportunity to rediscover a more natural home, they took it and left the Harper Conservatives in tatters I'm hopeful for Trudeau, his father is one of the greatest Canadians in history in my view. He's different than Pierre, which is good, but he also has that same, broad, unifying belief in Canada that his father stood for. He's much more relatable though, he's sincere and people want him to be the type of PM he speaks of being. I'm a Liberal, although I believe the country needs the occasional checks and balances brought about by Conservative governments, I view the Liberals as the natural governing party of this country. The Harper government was an embarrassment to me, he didn't represent the Canada I identify with, I'm glad he's gone and looking forward to a refreshing new voice. Sorry if that was more than you bargained for. I feel the sudden urge to watch the Wizard of Oz for some reason. Must be on Netflix eh?

Good post, but may I suggest a Coles Notes (CliffsNotes for you 'Merkans), that simply says, " leave it the way it is"?

Glunn, are you stumping? I'd vote for you, but I'm not American.

I don't think what Bautista did was in any way calculated, he was completely jacked at belting a 3 run HR in the 7th inning of the deciding game to take the lead, in front of 50,000 delirious fans. If that's not a moment to maybe lose yourself a bit, I don't know what is.

I'm on record as saying this, possibly more than a few times.

How did that game have anything to do with Leidner? He threw the ball 12 times. To even mention the QB in a game like that is hilarious. Northwestern held Stanford to 6 points, if you don't think that's a legit offense you need to watch more college football. Great win for the Gophers, that can be said without tearing anyone down.

(I think they should trade Plouffe) (hopefully for a catcher)

Semantics seem important at a time like this....sigh.

Good start for the Jets, 6-2 thrashing of the Bruins, in Boston's home opener.

Hic.....maybee.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Like it or not.

Jets are playing Boston

One or more of these statements is false.

It's not, Rogers owns both the Jays and Sportsnet, who broadcasts the games. Rogers does disclose what Rogers pays to Rogers for broadcasting rights. The only thing they are required to do by the league is pay "market rates", whatever that means. The number is not a reflection of the size of the market.

Not sure if you're responding to me but I have no idea what you're talking about.
