It was just past 11:10 PM EST last night when I was watching Sportscenter, resting after four days and five games of hell (I am a Yankees fan, but those four days were still hell regardless). Given the opportunity, I was tempted not to even stay up for the eleven o'clock Sportscenter, but just listening to Tony Kornheiser was enough to keep me awake longer than expected. And it's a good thing I did because I have a message I'd like to send to Toronto Blue Jays Manager John Gibbons: I love you big man.

Don't Look Now, But Blue Jays Hope to Fly North In Standings

The Toronto Blue Jays are 12+ years removed from a trip to the World Series (1993).  Their heroes are long gone.  The names of Joe Carter, Pat Hentgen, and Juan Guzman are long gone.  Even Carlos Delgado left Toronto for the Florida Marlins after the 2003 season.  That marriage would last just one year.

Blue Jay fans have had to endure a long streak of subpar, losing seasons.  However, 2006 is looking brighter for the team north of the border.  2006 might just be the year that the Toronto Blue Jays fly their way back to respectability.
