According to some New York Yankees as well as other players around the MLB, the Toronto Blue Jays have been stealing signs from pitchers since 2009. And while the Blue Jays have turned into an offensive juggernaut since that time, the cheating hasn't helped them make up any ground in the AL East.
Since 2009 and including this year, the Blue Jays have finished a combined 53 games out of first place. They were 28 games out in 2009, 11 games out in 2010 and currently sit a comfortable 14 games out in 2011. In addition, the Jays have not been invited to the playoffs in any of these years.
At this point, maybe Toronto should just give up on the whole major league baseball thing. The Blue Jays did experience some glory years in the early 90's, but with a team that has no chance at winning when they don't cheat and barely hang around .500 when they do cheat, I think its time to let our little Canadian friend go. Similar to the Raptors in the NBA, the Jays just can't compete with the big cities of the East.
On a side note, thank God we can finally debunk this team and their "savior" Jose Bautista. I knew this rags to riches story and his "miraculous" home run power were too good to be true.
While they are good for old-fashion slugfests and bare-knuckle brawls, in the long run the Toronto Blue Jays are worthless to the game of baseball.
