18 years? I don't think the Blue jays have been to the postseason since they won back to back World Championships in 92-93. They had a great team in the late 80's, early 90's though: Roberto Alomar, Dave Winfield, Joe Carter, Ricky Henderson, Paul Molitor. I'll never forget that walk-off homerun Joe Carter hit off of Wild Thing to win the 93' World Series, Philly fans HATED Mitch Williams after that game. I loved him because at the time I had just started pitching in Babe Ruth League and my coach nicknamed me Wild Thing because I beaned so many batters.
The Blue Jays are just unlucky to be stuck in the AL East with the Yankees and Boston otherwise they probably would've had a couple more postseason appearances since then. At least you have Jose Bautista to watch.....
Have the Maple Leafs ever won a Stanley Cup? They're a pretty unlucky team, too.
This years World Series match-up is a good one though, but I see the Rangers taking it. Milwaukee did a pretty good job of beating themselves, their defense is fuckin terrible. I don't think i've seen that many errors in the postseason, ever.
