The way to get a winner is for fans to stay away untill they are a serious contender. This happened when the Jays won back to back world series. The SkyDome was empty so they bought a winning team.

I still think if 4 out of our 5 starting pitchers can stay healthy and finish 3 or 4 games over .500, plus we get decent hitting, Jays have a shot at the wild card.That's just a tad extreme. I would consider going from a prediction of 91 wins to 80 wins would be jumping off the bandwagon. That's going from a playoff team to a sub .500 team
But you guessed a 100+ win season?I was off the bandwagon in February. Be prepared for a 100 loss season.
The band aid solutions that Shapeyero came up with in the off season means that Rogers wants to sell the team. MLSE is not interested unless they get a sweetheart deal from the city on a new stadium.
So, we are 1/4 into the season, thought I would look at my predictions.Wow some of you guys are very optimistic. Where are we getting the runs from?
My predictions.
Smoak will not repeat even close to his production last year.
Martin will continue his offensive slide and will bat close to the Mendoza line.
Travis and Tulowitzki will miss major portions of the season.
The bullpen will under perform.
Estrada will have a bad year.
Happ will have a mediocre year.
They need to trade Donaldson before the deadline as they will not be re-signing him.
They will lose 90 games.
On the bright side, the team has a bright future, 2020 or 2021.
You were wrong. They only lost 89.It is still conceivable that they lose 90 games, even after the good start.
Congrats to the winners.Ok, I guess we gotta wrap up this thread and instead of putting a bow on it we can put a noose around it.

Very magnanimous.
So I donate my own share of the title purse to the other guys!
