You know the season stinks when we've wasted space arguing about Ben Revere

I hear that a lot that Toronto is the 4th largest, but I'm not sure about that. Bob McCown makes this claim.
I suppose it depends on how you define the metro area. On this list, Toronto is 6th, if you exclude Mexico:

8th on this list:

Toronto over-takes Chicago (not including metro areas):

They do have an unusual footprint though in being the media center of Canada, and the only city in Canada with MLB and NBA teams.

I think they gambled that Storen would return to his old form... not continue to get worse but at an even faster rate.

My fault guys I turned on the game saw the box score and thought damn Dickey has gone 14+ innings without giving up a run maybe he is turning into our ace. Next 2 batters hit bombs.
Though if you watch the replays both those knuckleballs had 4-5 rotations, way to much to get movement. Those are BP pitches if they aren't moving.

That is just so classic Jays this season. Two on with none out and nothing to show for it.

I saw somewhere the Jays are 0-18 when the other team scores 4 or more runs.
