The Jays should just move

I've written about my love of the Toronto Blue Jays on here before. I was at the game tonight. Yes there are factors to take into account, such as they were playing the Cincinnati Reds, a sold out Major League Soccer game was happening across town, and the fact last night was a discount ticket night, but they only drew 15,409. They say the Phoenix Coyotes should move (different sport, I know) when they are perennial losers and play in the middle of nowhere. The Blue Jays play downtown and are currently in a playoff spot. Some might argue the 20 year-old Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome), once an architectural and engineering marvel, is outdated. But it is far from a dump. Fifteen thousand on a hot, but bearable night with an open roof for a good team is horrible. And that was only the announced crowd. Early on, it looked like a crowd from an old Expos game.

I love the Jays, but they really don't get deserving support in this city.
