Reasons To Cheer For The Blue Jays This Year

• Not the Yankees
• If they can win by battering their opponents with excessive offence, image the hilarious teams that will be assembled over the coming years.
• "Longest playoff drought in pro sports" title will get passed to the Buffalo Bills.
• Remember when Dan Quayle predicted the Braves would win in ‘92? Well there’s plenty of opportunity for that to happen again.
• Also, not the Red Sox.
• If Toronto FC can hold on too, the Leafs would be the only T.O. team that misses the playoffs this year.
• Definitely a non-zero chance that this will open a portal to the early nineties, allowing us to go back and correct the mistakes of the last twenty years.
• Expansion teams with long and interesting histories really annoy baseball traditionalists.
• As in 92/93, playoff run coincides with an election, resulting in lots of audience signs that Americans will never understand
• Marines have just about got that upside-down flag thing figured out.
• Fanatic support for Jays and Raptors may finally convince Canadian sports media that we care about more than one sport.
• If all their success comes with the traditional uniform/logo, you’ll never have to live with another cartoony rebranding
• The longer they play, the chance for Expedia to make more ads with Ace going through customs. They haven’t even shown him with the TSA agents yet. Think of potential for a "No Fly List" joke.
• There aren’t any Muslim baseball players, so a Canadian team winning the World Series is about the only way to piss-off Curt Schilling.
• Stuffed parrot sales haven't been this high since the heyday of Monty Python.
• If the Jays win the World Series this year, you won't have to listen to fans complain about the game unfair economics for at least another decade.
