Toronto Blue Jays went on a recent losing streak including losses against the more hapless teams like Detroit and New York quite a few members of the sports media started to write the Jays season off With aboul 30 games remaining in the season the Jays were six and a half games behind the Boston Red Sox which t seem like a lot to me for them to over come However when I turned on the TV the sports anchors could be seen shaking their heads and when I opened the Toronto daily papers some of fellow columnists were predicting that Boston could play 500 ball the rest of the way and take the division Recent developments have fore some of those cynics to change their tunes or take a wait and see attitude There are few things I en jo rrVe than watching people pedal backwards with sheepish grins on

supporters use it especially when their team is desperately fighting playoff elimination I realize the columnists are telling it how they see it since tell ing the public the Jays have no playoff hopes when there I Rimes remaining is a little lite However it should be understood that most journalists are cynics expecting the worst in stead of hoping for the best After a few years of disappointments it easier to have your fears confirm ed instead of your wishes dashed to pieces I m not saying the Jays be criticized for being behind the Red Sox but they can t be written off either The team has the quality players to take the American League Last title though they showing it at times The Jays like the Leafs have a bit of a reputation for playing bet if they are behind instead of in front Last year the Jays took over first few months before the end of the season and had to fight off Biltimore in the second last game of the regular season The Leas regular dwellers in their

last playoff berth only to lose Sure I been let down but I still have hope I take the same ap proach to local sports as I sure many other people do If the team is doing badly I don t abandon them I criticize what being done wrong and suggest what should be happening in order to turn things around Heck the Leafs have done things wrong for years but it didn stop me from cheering for them to do better I have yet to sit in the stands at Alcott Arena or Acton arenas during a game but I look forward to seeing lots if optimists there instead of the band wagon riders who will jump off as soon as the team has a stretch of rough go ing ship This wont happen this year so look for Mitch to jump back am Dawgs vs Meznic Flectnc Dawgs by 6 Everyone seems to be looking for a Horns final Plus Welding shut the Dawgs down in the second half and just came up a little short near the end zone If the Dawgs keep looking to next week they may be doing just that watching This is a rematch of the semi final last year and the Electricians aren about to pull a short circuit The number two defence against the number two offence all the billing for a great S
