I HATE the ads. Fenway Park has an ad for Viagra right up front and centre so everyone can see it on television. At least you guys have Pizza Pizza (although eww. Pizza Pizza.). On the other hand, Fenway Park isn't named after a cable company. I think the citizens of Boston would riot if anyone even considered it--even the oh, say three people in Boston who aren't fans. We do have the TD Banknorth Garden, which used to be the Fleet Center, which used to be the Shawmut Center, which used to be the Boston Garden, before they tore it down and built a new one. And we don't have a stadium with a roof on it, which don't get me started on how much I hate the idea of playing baseball indoors.
Having said all that, I do like the Blue Jays (unless they're playing the Red Sox, in which case kill, kill). They remind me of the Sox back in the post- Impossible Dream years. The Sox got out of all that flailing and misdirection, and I think the Jays will, too. After all, you guys have already won two World Series (in a row, IIRC). It took us 86 years.
