Back in December, when the Boston Red Sox signed Curt Schilling and looked to be trading for Alex Rodriguez, I wrote a piece about how being a Blue Jays fan was hell. It's the off season, but we're already third in the AL East and out of the playoffs in 2004.
This week, all the buzz is about the big deal that broght Alex Rodriquez to the New York Yankees. The deal to send A-Rod to the Bosox fell through, but this one didn't. You had to know he was going to either end up in Boston or New York. These two teams keep reloading in an arms race that leaves the Blue Jays in the dust. So long as there is only the one wildcard position Toronto doesn't have a prayer.
I hate finishing third. It really, really sucks. The AL East is hell.
