One thing I just realized from looking at the "users viewing" bar is that bluejays threads aren't the threads to commit infractions in! 16 memebers, and 3 are mods, haha.

I agree. I love everything about the Jays but can't stand Wilner.

Only listening on the radio. Does anyone have the technical acumen to put the hats on the field or Tulo explaining it to Edwin on here? If not, it's cool.

Yep, as predicted fans bought the **** out of tickets during and after today's game. The excitement level is crazy. They had about 25k tickets sold yesterday for Monday's game (which is a pretty low crowd now a days).

After the server crashing rush this afternoon it looks like about 35-37k are gone, and I wouldn't be surprised if another 3-4k are sold tomorrow and Monday afternoon, plus whatever walk-up they get.

Could be looking at sellout or close to it for a Monday night game against a non-draw, mediocre opponent. That'd be impressive.

Does anyone have any recent television ratings? I know Resolute mentioned some place keeps track and posts them periodically, but I couldn't find that post.

Thanks

Haven't had a chance to post in these threads too much, but wow, what a game - the Jays are playing on 'easy' mode right now.

The Indians series is (was?) the only one left with less than 40k seats sold for the remainder of the year. Sounds like that has changed.

The Jays have to be considered World Series contenders with all the additions they've made. Don't think I have ever watched a team with as much fire power as the Jays have.

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.

Vegas already has them as the odds-on favorite
