Rajraj, you have got to be the dumbest motherfucker on this website if you think the level of apathy and futility displayed by the Blue Jays in virtually every season of their existence, aside from back-to-back titles almost 20 years ago, is anywhere close to the Red Sox. The Red Sox have a history that is more rich and storied than ANY team from Toronto, including the Maple Leafs.
The Blue Jays have consistently sucked cock for their entire existence. Sure, the Red Sox have won as many titles as the Blue Jays have in the modern era, but the Blue Jays have also only even been in contention in September in a handful of seasons. The Red Sox have played in WAY more postseasons in the modern era than the Blue Jays probably ever will, and the Red Sox have consistently gone head-to-head with the best franchise in the history of professional sports, whereas the Blue Jays have been relegated to the sidelines for all of those pennant races.
For you to even insinuate that the Blue Jays have anywhere remotely close to the history that the Red Sox do is absolutely pathetic on your part. '92 and '93 were complete aberrations. They won the division a couple times in the mid-80’s and they won it three straight times between 91 and 93. Other than that, they have had ZERO success as a franchise. They’ve been in the postseason what, five times? The Red Sox have been in the postseason more times than that since 1993 alone, and they’ve won it all twice. They also have a far superior cast of all-time great players in the last 35 years compared to the Blue Jays.
And you know what? If the Blue Jays folded up shop and ceased to exist at the end of the year, hardly anyone outside of Canada would notice, nor would anyone give a fuck. You can’t say that about the Red Sox. Not even Yankees fans would want to see the Red Sox fold. The Blue Jays don’t even have a real rival. I’d really love to take your opinions in this thread with some seriousness, but you are continually making yourself out to be a complete irrelevancy in this department. Don’t even bother responding to this post, because I don’t care what irrelevancies have to say around here and I’m about to watch the DEFENDING World Series champions on the 4th of July. Ahhhhh, it’s great to be American.[/quote]
I’m not going to bother reading this too long.
I’m done reading your posts until you figure out how to convey your ideas in a few sentences like everyone else on this forum.
Ever considered taking a writing course?

It’s okay. I forgive your illiteracy. I laugh at the writing course comment. I’m a professional writer.
Here, let me be succinct so your dim brain can comprehend. The Blue Jays have been in the postseason 5 times in their entire existence, if I recall correctly. Two of those times you probably weren’t even born yet. The Red Sox have been to the postseason more times than that since the Jays’ last appearance alone, and won it twice in recent memory. The Jays? They haven’t sniffed the postseason since 1993. In your lifetime, the Red Sox are the FAR superior franchise, and for you to even harbor the idea that the two franchises are comparable in ANY way whatsoever, aside from the two titles the Jays won 18 and 19 years ago and the two the Red Sox won 7 and 4 years ago, is absolutely laughable and hereby brands you an irrelevancy when it comes to anything you have to say about baseball.

Who gives a shit about just making the playoffs? I only care about titles.
The Red Sox have been the better team in the 2000s, Jays in the 90’s and neither won anything in the 80’s.
The fact that a franchise so popular, making so much money, selling out EVERY home game for YEARS straight can literally fuck up for 89 YEARS straight is nothing short of pathetic. You can try to cut short their failings by limiting it to my 25 years of life but you’re only fooling yourself.
Shit on the small and mid market teams all you want. But winning 2 titles in a division with the Yankees and Red Sox in only 34 years of existence is impressive.
They were supposed to compete in 2007 and 2008 when they had the best pitching staff in the Majors (including bullpen) but unfortunately their offence shit the bed. Now, ask anyone who understands and follows baseball, they will tell you Toronto will be the team to beat in the AL East 2 years down the road.
Look, I’m not saying the Jays haven’t had their bad years or share of mismanagement. But compared to the Red Sox it’s just a drop in the pond.
