OT: MLB Thread

My Giants are back in the race in the NL West. The early season WS hangover seems to have left the building. Maybe I should fly down to SF with Count Jr and Contessa to see a game this summer.

Is that hashtag for real? More to the point, is the spelling of that hashtag for real? Because it doesn't mean what the Jays think it means.

It's bad enough that the intials of the team are "BJ". Now they've adopted a hashtag that evokes bukkake?

I misspelled it on purpose. Watch this video, and you tell me how someone in marketing got this job how the fk did some boss actually approve it.

I swear this video is even better:

I just laughed again watching it. Then I realized this is from Toronto so it's really not surprising.
 
Wow.

They actually believe that 96000 people went to Olympic Stadium to watch the Jays because they like the Jays.

Talk about impenetrable ignorance.
 
Giants swept the Dodgers and shut them out three straight games. Now only 1.5 behind despite a 3-10 start.

Bumgarner outduelled Kershaw today and hit a 415 ft homerun of the playoff choker.

Denis Coderre says there are 6 or 7 teams who have already expressed an interest in playing the Blue Jays in Montreal next spring.

Coderre said main goal was to show Montreal is a baseball town, brought pictures to show history. "All we were missing was Woodie Fryman"
 
Gotta say regardless of whether Mtl actually can get an MLB team, this is the first time since Jean Drapeau the city has actually had a mayor capable of thinking "big"/show any kind of vision.

I agree... it's nice to have someone who champions the positives of pro sport without selling the tax farm to support it. Some previous Montreal Mayor's never even really cared about the Habs except for tax time on the building the Habs owners built themselves.

Having said that Bud Selig never gave a crap either. I don't even know if Selig ever visited Montreal or has ever crossed the border to begin with.

I would have sent Youppi along with Coderre to NY. How can you not want to see Youppi again running the bases in Montreal?
 
Having a commish who seems willing to talk is a huge step. We all knew as long as Selig was running the show there was no chance of anything in Montreal, now it feels like there could be. It would be pretty sweet to see a team back in town before Selig is dead and rotting in his grave.
 
Once MLB realizes that the State of Florida is good for Spring Training but a sinkhole for regular season baseball, there may be some hope. Both the Marlins and Rays have had on-field success but none of it has translated into fan engagement in either Miami or Tampa. Florida is one of those states which has only 2 seasons: football season and waiting for football season.

Unfortunately, it was Jean Drapeau and his Olympic fiasco that soured the mood on supporting sport by government for generations
