It was a different time and a different type of fanbase. They had grown up with the 80s bluejays and had their "orgasms" when the jays won back to back. There was no need to go back. They had seen the top of the mountain
The last two years I've been to the games I've seen the crowd younger and younger. Also very multicultural which makes me happy. These fans have not seen victory and they are hungry for it. They deserve a shot. We deserve a shot. They will be there for this team win or lose because they are real fans and not fairweather.
There are a few posters here who aren't event jays fans ( one I asked yesterday and he admitted he isn't a jays fan) . I wonder why they are here. They like to see this team lose. I spent years on the realgm boards and you run into younger fans there as well
Anyhow I do respect your viewpoint as I can tell its educated and passionate
We are pretty safe with the Royals but AA should wake up and look at that everyday
.
This opportunity we have won't be here next year it wont be here the year after that and it wont be here the year after that.
Just mentioning a fact that a player who has a .300 obp in limited at bats hasnt proven anything makes me a Phillies model supporter?
By the way if I remember correctly phillies made several playoffs appearances. Jays haven't played a meaningful September game is 21 years. There are university graduates who have never seen a jays playoffs game
