Right, I see your point on them at least winning games. I was just thinking if you look at it from the point of view of not how many games you win but rather the chances you actually have of winning it all. Then it seems the same to me because those wins don't really mean much. You probably have to look at it that way for my point to make sense.
I guess I just wasn't all that convinced by his argument and found it to be kind of a stretch. Before I listened, I assumed he had a strong argument before making such a bold statement. To me, it does seem like he may have somewhat of an agenda against either Toronto or the Jays (that assumption, however, may be a stretch as well).
Toronto had its attractions. Roy Halladay, Carlos Delgado, Vernon Wells. It's not like that team didn't succeed at all or give the fans at least a glimmer of hope. Playing in the AL East sucks, but it didn't prevent Baltimore from drawing 2-3 million fans annually since the opening of Camden Yards.
