Awesome, hope they continue to do well. But this Toronto after all, so "all aboard the bandwagon!"

Talk around the pub now features more detailed discussions of players' names and stats, according to bartender Kenny MacIntyre. But the consensus among pub staff is that they're fairweather fans who will likely jump off the Jays bandwagon as quickly as they hopped aboard should their fortunes start to fall.
Such behaviour is infuriating to some who say they've stuck with the team through thick and thin.
Vanessa Niccals of Toronto views the influx of fickle Jays fans with a jaundiced eye.
The 17-year-old says she's been a supporter for years, but believes the people fanning the flames of excitement in the city right now are just as likely to create a negative atmosphere down the road.
