The Raptors are still a few years away from being relevant in the playoffs. Every year the Jays suck and everyone says "Least we got the Raptors". Same s*** every year.

 

If that was said every year before I'm pretty sure it was sarcasm. It actually has some merit now.

It's so annoying how people base their enjoyment of a team's season on if they made the playoffs are not. It's not even their fault either, it's how the sports leagues/media have conditioned us.

 

Considering how much of a crapshoot the MLB playoffs are, yes, just getting into the playoffs is something worth cheering for. And 21 years and counting of no playoffs f***ing sucks. It also f***ing sucked to see the Expos miss out on playoff appearances that could have saved the franchise due to the lack of a wildcard.

I'd rather see the Blue Jays win 93 and not make the playoffs than win 85 and claim the second wild card. Even if they advance to the ALDS. Be a great team. That should be every team's goal. Great teams are worth watching and getting excited over.

 

Normally I would agree, but after 20 years of no playoffs, I would beg to differ.

Not really, the Raptors have "first/second-round treadmill" written all over them. Atlanta Hawks North.

 

Let me guess ... FireMasaiUjiri?

Can the pinch hitter of Francisco who sat on the bench all game come through for the Jays with one swing of the bat?

Even if they are I don't care. At least they'll be playing meaningful games all year and have a great shot at making the playoffs and a promising future.

I think that's just a product of everyone constantly hyping up the playoffs.

 

I don't believe in celebrating mediocrity. Greatness is its own reward.

 

If you love baseball in general there is still lots to cheer about within mediocrity.
