Definitely. If they weren't in the Jays division, I would be rooting for them.
My NL team is the St Louis Cardinals for much the same reason - they (STL) have been a solid and respectable - and sometimes awesome - franchise forever, despite being a small market. Very easy team to cheer for, and they play the game the right way. Also, Whitey Herzog.
