Not taunting. Well, only a little. Seriously, considering they're the 2nd-nearest AL team to me, I know nothing about TOR. Although, I expect to know more about them next year, when they have longer purse strings.
It's funny to me that while many analysts (particularly stat-oriented ones) think poorly of the Koskie signing (because it is a multi-year contract to a corner infielder entering his decline years), Jays' fans are happy to have Koskie on the team because he's Canadian. We've only had about a dozen or so Canadian guys on the team over the years and none of them have been the sort of player that Koskie is. Odd things please us, like, I dunno, TWO championships since the formation of the League of Nations.
I know, I know, gloating is wrong, and poor sportsmanship. And yet --
REDS 7, Mets 6!!!!

Which is still one more than the Sox have.
It ain't over until the fat man homers.
Holy Snerkity. REDS WIN, REDS WIN!

We just did a victory jig in my office.
Which up until last October was two more than the Sox had.
To be fair, the Jays only started in 1977, but I thought it was unfair to pass over 60 other years of unrequited toil and strife by some clubs.
Told ya she'd coming dancing back into the thread...

The faded and battle-worn old Reds pennant in my office window just got waved up and down at oblivious passers-by.
I'll be the first to admit that the Red Sox sucked royally and consistently for decades. And then, in those brief moments when they ceased sucking, they got melodramatic, the better to begin sucking with. It's refreshing to break the cycle.
Holy Snerkity. REDS WIN, REDS WIN!
Poor Pedro. Go for the big-bucks contract, leave your above-average bullpen behind. At least he gets a no-decision, right?
