So it wasn't actually a joke you made, then? I'm disappointed, I thought you had finally achieved your goal of being funny.

Nooooooo

At least I'm honest.

the guy is the anti-midas; every thread he touches turns to sh*t.

But sometimes it's fun. It really is. Pythagorean said that the jays were a very good team and then they turned into a pile of shit. :-D

Game 163 was the greatest game I never saw. Damn it!

A fun anecdote:

The Jays finished the season with 798 runs scored against 771 runs allowed despite being 12 games under .500 at 75-87. That makes them the second team in the history of Major League Baseball to finish a season at least 10 games below .500 and have a positive run differential. The 1918 White Sox are the only other team to have accomplished the dubious feat.
