Maybe reaching but it could be because Seattle is a really nice place to live with a lot of entertainment/recreation options and as soon as the teams get bad people just tune out or switch to another team or activity because they have many options?
I've heard the theory numerous times from Edmonton friends that the Oilers are so popular despite being a joke franchise because in the winter there are very few alternative options for entertainment and the weather is absolutely miserable.
Either way, hope the Jays can keep the momentum going from the last couple games.

Anytime someone takes a few seconds out of their day to take a shot at Edmonton in a some what unrelated manner deserves a thanks.
