The Evolution of the Jays Beat

Season 2 Episode 29

While Scott MacArthur took a well-earned summer vacation off the coast of Newfoundland, watching giant mammals flop about and frolic in the ocean, Exit Philosophy invited as co-host the legendary Toronto Star sports columnist, Dave Perkins. In this episode, my former boss, who brought me in from my previous gig with the Expos back in ‘95, steps in and riffs with me on the Blue Jays and MLB beat dating back to the early ‘90s, plus memories of Jim Leyland as he goes into the Hall-of-Fame at Cooperstown, on what the current Jays need to do to right the ship. Should both Vlad and Bo, plus anyone else on the roster be moved for the right prospects. Alternate titles for this episode, of course, were “Yelling at the Clouds”, “Get Off of my Lawn” or “Grumpy Old Men.” Scotty Mac will return next week. Enjoy.
