751.0. "What about those Jays !!!" by KAOOA::MACLELLAN (hardware..software..silverware..) Wed Oct 13 1993 17:41

    What - nothing about those Blue Jays yet.
    
    Jays took Chicago last night to repeat as American League champs. 
    Phillies and Braves could decide the National League tonight.
    
    Jays are going to another World Series much to the dismay of the 
    big American television networks. Seems the Jays aren't a big draw on
    the US networks. 
    
    Predictions welcomed 
    
    Will the Marines learn how to carry a Maple Leaf this year ?
    
    Will those great broadcasters from NBC make another attempt at showing
    the Canadian public that they know squat about Canada ?
    
    How many times will they show Ed Sprague's wife this year, now that 
    Sylvie Frechette is going to get a gold medal in syncho swimming ?
    
    Will the Jays repeat - no doubt in my mind.

751.1All the way w/ Atlanta....hopefullyKAOFS::WATTERSWed Oct 13 1993 17:5014
    Atlanta or Philly? Either way it'll be a great series.
    
    Great, to see if the Atlanta Fulton County Security Guards arrest
    Jimmy Carter for luring food into the Stadium. He brings his OWN 
    peanuts.
    
    OR
    
    Great to see more of Darren Daulton's wife. She's the spokesperson
    for the Atlanta food chain "HOOTERS". Lovely commercials. Daulton is
    the catcher for the BeerBelly/HippyHaired/ScrubbyFaced/Reject Phillies.
    Great bunch.

751.2Yah, what about who?KAOFS::B_SLADEWed Oct 13 1993 17:542
    Watching baseball on TV is as exciting as sitting on your front steps
    watching your grass grow!
751.3It's Hockey Season, D*** It!!KAOFS::LOCKYERNO! (Tact Is For Weenies!!)Wed Oct 13 1993 18:074
    Who cares about baseball when the Leafs are playing!  My prediction -
    the Jays's season ends in about two weeks, while the Leafs play on...

751.4Yah, what about who?KAOFS::B_SLADEWed Oct 13 1993 18:142
    Watching hockey on TV is as exciting as sitting on your front steps
    watching snow fall!
751.5KAOFS::M_COTEI'm a mod, not a rockerWed Oct 13 1993 18:534
    

    	I predict the Jays will separate! Take the dome with them
    of course!
751.6Watching Snow Fall is 3rd largest spectator sportKAOFS::D_STREETVirtue is relative.Wed Oct 13 1993 20:089
    Hey !! I like watching snow fall. It's very peacefull. I find it
    rejuvinating. Sorta like when the Jays won the series last year, gives
    you faith in the Canadian way of doing things.
    
    Predictions ?  I predict the Americans will regret giving Toronto an
    NBA Basketball team. World Series, Sanley Cup and NBA champs all North
    of the Border. It could happen, and they won't like it.

751.7TROOA::SOLEYVMS, just say NO!Thu Oct 14 1993 00:293
    Before we win the NBA I'm pretty sure someone will give us a award for
    the most sports facilities erected in really @#!* stupid locations of
    any world class city. Yonge & Dundas 'fer cry out loud. 
751.8ho hum, un autre trophieTROOA::BROOKSThu Oct 14 1993 15:375
    Ho Hum, another world series.  Yaawwnnn.
    Ho Hum, another sleepless night as people honk their horns all night
    long; better be a weekend.

751.16Blues will take it allKAOOA::MACLELLANhardware..software..silverware..Fri Oct 22 1993 14:0912
    You really have to give CBS some credit for thier announcers.
    
    Have they ever been to Canada before ? It's my beleif they are really
    doing the broadcast from a remote somewhere in the USA, and haven't
    actually been to Toronto.
    
    Pat O'Brien - this guy is a joke. He is really trying to make this a
    Canada-US issue again. Give it up guys...........
    
    Blue will wrap it up in Toronto on Saturday night.

751.17Jays WIN - Jays WIN - Jays WIN !!!!!!TROOA::MSCHNEIDERWhat is the strategy today?Sun Oct 24 1993 13:012
    UNBELIEVABLE ...... what a dramatic conclusion in the bottom of the
    ninth!   Does it get any better?
751.18Tip of the hat to TORONTONians....KAOFS::R_OBASMon Oct 25 1993 10:4110
    
     What a boring celebration in Toronto after the J's won the W.S.
    I stayed late to see the expected.. I was disappointed. ;^)
    
      No RIOT,no LOOTING, no TURNED OVER CARS, nobody killed/injured. ;^)
    What kind of celebration was that anyway. The J's fans should do
    the normal way of celebration, THe UNcivilized way. It's unbelievable
    how the fans reacted. The law enforcement was angry because they will
    not get overtime pay if there were no arrests. What kind of city is
    this  anyway ?
751.19Is the fat lady singing or sitting?KAOOA::SLADEMon Oct 25 1993 10:546
    re:13
    
    They finished yet, who won?
    
    Great weekend, lawn chair, sunshine, catch a few rays, few brews, 
    grass grew at least an inch.
