I never did figure out why they traded Manny in the first place. Couldn't they have gone to whoever was unhappy with him and say "He's our star... just deal?" I suppose wasn't all that simple.
They still have a good shot at the wild card spot, though. Unlike, y'know, the Tigers.
Fourth place sucks. Not making it to the playoffs since 1993 sucks even more. But what sucks most is a club that has now turned to marketing as the big ploy.
I could have lived with "Come see our brand new kids try their hand at the big AL monsters" in the re-forming years, but no - it was always "We can compete, come pay more to sit and be bombarded with ads and promotions for car companies, cell phones, Pizza Pizza and television services & enjoy your hot dog and bottled water for $9.75"...

...And nothing changes.
Hurts to be in the Blue Jay nest.
