.300 all season. Sometimes when a player gets injured the whole season, they come back not being the same player.

I don't think there are any 2nd baseman out there that's a good fit with the Blue Jays.

Who cares? Baseball isn't a real sport. I bet pitchers can't even throw a football with a spiral. Show me one player who can play football or dunk. I bet you can't.

Darry Strawberry and Bo Jackson both played professional football.

Baseball's got the toughest schedule of any professional sport -- 162 games in six months. In other words, they play six out of seven nights in a week.

I'm pretty sure Darryl Strawberry never played pro football.

You're right, I was thinking of Deion Sanders.

Michael Jordan can dunk and played baseball. You missed my joke.

Jays open the season on Monday.

Diehard Cincinnati Reds fan until I die

Too bad they've never been very good in my entire lifetime LOL. I think 3 playoff appearances are all I've ever gotten to see, and I highly doubt our current roster is capable of making it this year.

Kinda depressing

Hey, Toronto hasn't made the playoffs in my lifetime. It was neat to see them play Cincinnati in Montreal.
