The Jays
So do you still care how the Blue Jays are doing? Have you given up on them or do you still hold out hope that this team is close to being a contender? When’s the last time you went to game? Watched an entire game on tv or listened to one on the radio?

NO matter when they are on TV (only on weekends as he works late shift) he still watches every game and at drive-in’s he’ll listen on the radio until the movie starts and anytime we’re in the car and it’s on the radio, he listens, so I guess he’s a die hard fan!!

Of course I care how my Jays are doing. This is the team I love the most, and even though it’s a longshot, they still have a chance of making it to the playoffs. They’ll need a lot of help though. They’re on a 4-game winning streak so if this streak continues, who knows what’ll happen by the end of the season.
As for attending the games, I last went to a game about a month ago where they won in a come-from-behind, bottom-of-the-ninth situation. Those are the best games to watch, but of course, you can’t always get to see that kind of game.

I last went to see them May 24th vs. Kansas - it was “All you can eat” weekend, and let me tell you, me and my posse more than got our money’s worth. Granted the concession stand prices are extortionate, we figure between 4 of us, we probably got about $130 dollars worth of *urp* ‘free’ food. The tickets cost an extra $10, but it’s worth it. A great day - the cousins and me. Actually this weekend is another “all you can eat weekend”. It’s worth it folks!
Being as I still play (soft)ball, I’m such a fan even when the prospects are slim that they’ll make it to the post season. I caught the 11th inning last night, and what a nailbiter. I’m guilty of channeling toggling when there’s a game on. I wish they would be in the role of contender, rather than spoiler though.

Altho I have heard the way the games go from time to time, and feel good when they are winning, I barely made it thru a game at the dome last year, and I can’t stand all the yak yak on the radio to fill the airspace, and the tv and couch combo pretty much does me in, especially after a few brewskis. Football and soccer are up there too for the Bore factor.
To me anyway. Ladies field hockey; now there’s exitement right there!!!
PLAY!

Mike,
By the looks of things, not too many people care (no other comments when I wrote this).
I was at the game Tuesday night, thanks to the JACK auction. Great seats - thanks. It was the 6th time I’d been this season and it won’t be the last. And I’m watching the game right now. No matter how they do, I’ll always be there to cheer them on.
GO JAYS GO

MIKE!!!!!!!
How did the weekend go for your band?
A bit of info on here would be nice, as it is easier to get to than the band site of old.
And we out here care about what you do both off and on the radio.
I asked you for a setlist of what your band plays.
Anything from Jack?
Keep us up to date on your commings and goings. When you can.
K?

Still watch and hope. IMO they arent going to the post season. This team is becoming more frustrating then the leafs! Always seem to have the talent but cant pull it together.
Havent been down to a game this season. First time in a long time that happened. None the less I’ll continue to hold out hope for various toronto teams.
