The last time I checked, the city of Toronto did not have a football team. On the first Sunday of the NFL season, the Blue Jays posted numbers that would have won several of today’s games on the gridiron. Toronto embarrassed the Orioles, 22-7, to secure a series victory at Camden Yards.
If the Orioles 19-game losing streak earlier this season taught fans anything, it’s that they can handle the losing. They just want to avoid embarrassment on the national scale. The NFL will be the show on ESPN today, but the Birds blowout will be a difficult footnote for supporters to swallow.
