I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I gotta say I couldn't be happier to be a Toronto sports fan. The Blue Jays are the most exciting team in all of major league, the Leafs are now the youngest team in the NHL and should be pretty exciting this season. The Argos(even though I hate them) are tied for first in the East and by god no one would have thought that 7 games in. The Raptors should be an exciting team this season and watching the growth of Demar and Sonny, I just can't wait. This is the most exciting time for Toronto sports fans since the early 90's and I think it's about damn time. What do you guys think?

I am sure you know this but others might not
The Toronto Maple Leafs were a high-level minor league baseball club located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that played from 1896 to 1967. While the Maple Leafs had working agreements with numerous Major League Baseball clubs after the introduction of farm systems in the 1930s, they achieved great success as an unaffiliated club during the 1950s, when they were the strongest team on the field and in attendance in the AAA International League.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

It is different to hear such positive things being said about the Jays and Argos, two teams really going in the right direction but I'm not hearing the same positive comments about the Leafs or Raptors. It's going to take a winning record or at least playing better than expected to drum up the enthusiasm from the casual fans.

I actually dont think it sucks they are in the AL east at all.... as much
as it would be nice to have an easier way into the playoffs but it will
be that much sweeter when the Jays and Rays are in the playoffs and
A-Rod is at home sucking on Jeters cock.Last edited by Selects87; Tue Aug 17, 2010, 10:21 AM.

Solutions for Toronto sport teams
Blue Jays - Get of AL East to get to the playoffs again. MLSE should think of paying money to the MLB to get out of the division and other consequences for taking such action to move out.
Raptors - Get an assistant manager of winning small market teams in the NBA such as Portland Trailblazers, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs to be the GM of the team or go the expensive way and get Jerry West out of retirement. Get scouts especially from the Spurs especially if we are going the Euro way and other scouts from the teams I mentinoned earlier. Fill out the front office with advanced statistics guys that use that to offer contracts to players and to decide what players to bring to the team(with the "Toronto Premium" of course - I know it is overpaying but that is what we have to since we are basketball Siberia(Toronto Premium = 0.25 * Actual worth(full contract = 1.25 * Actual worth)). Last, draft well - don't draft a big man in the Top 7(they are most likely to be busts except if you have a big man franchise players you can build around a la Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Andrew Bogut and Dwight Howard). Drafting well should come to us once we get a capable and winning GM, experienced scouts.
Maple Leafs - Don't lose your first round picks. Get some defencemen and forwards - problem solved.
Argonauts - Try to acquire a good and running quarterback, defensive tackles and wide receivers in the NFL who might have some character issues(I don't care as long as they know how to win) and underpaid and overpay to bring them here. Case solved.
Toronto Football Club(TFC) - Get some defenders and wingers to pair with Dwayne De Rosario at the front and lighten the load on Rosario at the front. Case solved.
And for all Toronto teams, it will really be helpful if MLSE sell all their teams to owners that spend money to win not to make preofits. .

the last playoffs in 2002 and lose those Top 7 picks to get "star"(note the emphasis and sarcastic intonation) who
underperforms. . Consequently, if you think the ti-cats are better than the argos, can you pass me what you are smoking? Lol.
. Some fans can be really delusional.lol. .
