Yeah, I liked the Expos as well. Sad they couldn't get their stadium issues settled. Even to this day they can't seem to get their **** together to build a stadium.

December 9, 20231 yr comment_681240 Who is the next FA that the media will get the Toronto fans into a tizzy, doesn't matter the sport all the FA's all wanna go to Toronto until they don't. As for what he is getting paid good for him get what ever you can and play where you wanna play.
December 9, 20231 yr comment_681246 I'm no Blue Jays fan so my reaction to the craziness yesterday & the sober reality that Ohtani signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers is... It's just a fantasy (oh, oh, oh, oh) It's not the real thing. (oh, oh, oh, oh) It's just a fantasy (oh, oh, oh, oh) It's not the real thing (oh, oh, oh, oh) Sometimes a fantasy (oh.. oh.. oh.. oh) Is all you need... It was never going to happen. But if it did we'd have been force fed Ohtani for the next decade on every tv channel Rogers owns & every product Rogers sells. I am grateful he went elsewhere.

December 9, 20231 yr comment_681248 JP Morosi has a lot of egg on his face today, sometimes you need to fact check, but on X facts don't matter.

Glass Houses is one of my favourite albums of all time.
December 10, 20231 yr comment_681256 Anyone think the Toronto media maybe got ahead of themselves a bit here? I heard ohtani wanted no leaks to the media, wonder if maybe someone leaked something yesterday and that turned him off? On tsn they had the "Ohtani watch" all afternoon yesterday

On tsn they had the "Ohtani watch" all afternoon yesterday From what I read he loved Southern California and wanted to be on a team that wins, there is only one team there that wants to win and that's the Dodgers. Mets were told no and the Yankees were not players
December 10, 20231 yr comment_681260 From everything I've read, his agent used the Jays to up the Dodgers offer. Info was leaked to that Morosi guy in order to create Toronto hype, but it was always the Dodgers and trying to maximize what they could get from them.

Smart to use the 2nd richest team against the team you want to play for. Ohtani ghosted the Mets, so they needed another team with deep pockets. I still genuinely believe Ohtani considered Toronto, but I've been convinced that he's always wanted to be a Dodger.
December 10, 20231 yr comment_681262 If you are in the mainstream media and don't double and triple check info passed to you then pass, but they all want breaking news that gets clicks. Once it gets on X it has a life of it's own, this time it bit Morosi in the ass.
December 10, 20231 yr comment_681264 I don't use X but it sure seems like everyone on there wants to be 1st to report something, facts be damned Edited December 10, 20231 yr by Goalie

Being told from so many directions how great you are on a daily basis can not but lead to bigger than life self importance. Good on him and his agent I guess. Wow. Good gracious.
December 10, 20231 yr comment_681277 There was as much of a chance Ohtani would sign with the Jays as Connor McDavid ever signing with the Jets as a free agent. Edited December 10, 20231 yr by SpeedFlex27

Yes, I would have been extremely happy if he signed because of what it might have meant for baseball in Canada. But, at no time did I think Ohtani was on that plane. It made no sense whatsoever. And, I'm not crying that I was duped by some fringe Twitter accounts.
