A not-so-recent member of the Toronto sports media on the production side. I have decided it is finally time to throw out my views on our beloved team because...well...my friends are getting sick of it. I need to share with the masses! Get the word out, good or bad, with all you other die-hards out there. I am opinionated, goofy, fun, irreverent and above all a Jays fan from the early days. My perspective will change you, mold you...or might tick you off. As long as you respond and feel the words then my job is done!
