This should answer some of your questions.

The Toronto Blue Jays are tearing it up on the TV ratings scene -- again. Ever since the team made a few big deals back in late July, it has pretty much blown away all competition for the eyeballs of those who love sports.

They were at it again on the weekend, breaking the 2-million mark on Friday night and topping the million threshold on Saturday and Sunday. The latter two, by the way, are usually considered precious time slots for Canadians and are usually spent at cottages and beaches -- not in front of a television set.

But, it appears, nobody can tear their eyes away from the Jays these days.

It was the most-watched series in Sportsnet's history, erasing the long-standing record set the week before when the same two teams met. You can bet that Sportsnet's ad sales staff has already circled the next Yankees-Jays series on its day-timers (see "record" reference for those who don't know what a day-timer is.)

Thanks to all this Jays madness, Sportsnet's broadcasts are now averaging 727,000 a game, up 24 per cent over last year.
