But I think it is time the Blue Jays "expand their market" and play a series in Buffalo. Lets see, the Bills will lose about 20,000 people in the seats with a game in Toronto. If the Jays played a midweek series in Buffalo and sold out Dunn Tire park, they would probably only lose about 15,000 tickets sold. So it seems like an even trade. I will be expecting that Jays series in 2008. The heck with the Raptors, nobody in Buffalo watches the NBA. But I think it is time the Blue Jays “expand their market” and play a series in Buffalo.

For the record, on Wednesday night the following alert was posted on the Illuzzi political website: "Breaking News First Sources: The Buffalo Bills are going to announce a pre season game in Toronto next season. The other thing is the Bills are seriously considering a regular season game in Toronto in 09, which is almost a done deal, paraphrasing. Sources believe the intention, if the League approves, is raising the bar having to do with NFL Canada. ###" This news did not appear on any mainstream news outlet or local sports site, so Joe had the scoop in this important news and we give him all the credit. The reason for my skepticism? Joe has also broken exclusive news in the past that VP Dick Cheney is resigning, and that CE candidate Paul Clark was going to be a big winner in the primary. Oops. "Dem flunky"? Not nice Joe... And I am not getting personal, unless you thought that when I said "Old Geezer" I was referring to you.
