The gist: Congratulations to the BJays I supppse. My dad has become a fan, having forgiven their Expos-killing ways a few years ago, sliding them into the "may bygones be bygones" bin. For me, I put MLB in the rear view mirror permanently over that debacle, and i SMH at their failure to institute any kind of salary cap. That said, if a Canadian team comes out as World Series Champs, I'll tip my hat to them, just for all the seething it will cause amidst the Rethuglican Christo-Fascist Nazis runninv that beautiful country into the ground.
