Why does Toronto keep doing this to themselves?

Why did Charlie Brown keep trying to kick the football with Lucy holding it?

Why do we as Aggie football fans keep thinking the next year is our year?

The finalists for Japanese star right-hander Roki Sasaki are the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays, sources tell ESPN. Sasaki will decide on his team by the closing of his posting window Jan. 23.

I'll go out on a limb and say the chances are:

LAD 95%
SD 4.99%
TOR 0.01%

This guy has been the biggest joke of the offseason. Everyone knew he was going to LAD from the outset. I don't see why he insisted on making it a dog and pony show.

Padres have been big favorites to land him for some time, but the ownership issues may becoming a bigger factor

If Jeff Passan's report is indeed correct, it seems as though the Mariners failed to even merit a meeting with Roki Sasaki, much less finalist status.

Embarrassing, but the organization's lack of investment in their roster has consequences and likely hurt them here. https://t.co/nm5HFDcbxJ

They keep hoping someone willl want those Canadian taxes, but it's a real hindrance…

in all seriousness...with regard to the Blue Jays...

has something changed in Toronto in the past 5 years...such that no one wants to play there?

something non-baseball related...i.e. politics, taxes, healthcare, etc..,?
