Toronto Blue Jays

Hey all, I’m back! I know it’s been quite sometime since I last posted but I truly missed writing about what I wanted to write about.

So, for my “inaugura”l post, I’d like to discuss the Toronto Blue Jays. I love my team, I love the fans that attend, and I love the stadium food (let’s be honest here). As I sit in the the nosebleeds — which,  after sitting around the stadium, is really where the true fans are — I am extremely disappointed that every ball thrown is not being smashed into the stands, or at least straight past second base. Especially when you hear what these men are making in contracts and endorsements. $64 million for a couple of years; $2 million for a trial-run contract; millions for a number of years. I mean, for this money, every player should be hitting far balls, and every player should be performing acrobatic tricks to catch the ball mid-air.

Being up in the 500 level, there were a few bands of men yelling things like “OVERATED” (specifically when Bautista stepped up to bat) and expletives that I would have to wash my mouth out with soap if I even attempted to repeat. At first they were extremely annoying, but after about the sixth inning or so, I realized that they were only spewing the truth about our “beloved” players. To cut a long story short, if you are making millions of dollars to perform a certain task, you should be performing that task to the best of your abilities OR give the money back. If I, as a writer, did not deliver for my clients to their satisfaction and a bit over what I promised, I would not have the referrals that I have much less get the payments that I demand. I just don’t see why these players are not being held accountable to the same standards that us normal people are subjected to.

I’m just saying … it’s not fair!
