Simply in terms of wins/losses and championships in each of the last 10 years, Toronto is hard-pressed to lay claim of having a successful top-notch professional sports franchise in MLB, NHL, and NBA.

Re: LTE 2.0
HOWEVER, if successful is measured in terms of fan support, ticket numbers, etc..., the Maple Leafs have a strong fan base, and ARE successful. For that matter, the BJ's do well with tickets and support. It's not the fault of the BJ's that they are in the same division as the Yankees, Sox, and Devil Rays (whoops, I still can't call them the Rays).Lavabe wrote:Simply in terms of wins/losses and championships in each of the last 10 years, Toronto is hard-pressed to lay claim of having a successful top-notch professional sports franchise in MLB, NHL, and NBA.

Re: LTE 2.0
Shoot! Hannah didn't make top ten. She did, however, make the front row in the opening number because she is a wildly talented dancer. The producers usually put the best dancers on the front row, and the singers and poor piano players are relegated to the back.
I'm still so proud of Hannah!

Re: LTE 2.0
My younger son called tonight from California. His dad took him to the dentist today to remove some food that had gotten impacted between his gum and his tooth.
As background, we have a court order in which each parent must pay one-half of all medical and dental expenses that are not covered by insurance.
Christian has been going to the same pediatric dentist in San Jose for the past 12 years, except when he's been here in Greenville, where he sees a pediatric dentist/orthodontist. Until today.
ExLax didn't take him to the dentist with whom we have an established relationship. NO! He took Christian to a dentist who just happens to be the sister of ExLax's BimbHo.
And now, I must pay BimbHo's sister for treating my child.
I am beyond angry at ExLax's hubris.

Successful now or successful ever? Right now, most of them suck but the Leafs have a proud history, the Argos have won countless Grey Cups (the Canadian Football League championship), the Blue Jays won back-to-back World Series titles, and the Toronto Rock (professional lacrosse) have won titles.

In the last ten years? Not so much. But check my previous post - Toronto has a very proud sporting history.
I disagree. I think Burkie has made some solid moves and will make more before this season begins. They're going to be fine and will definitely make the playoffs this year.And the Maple Leafs are showing few signs of improving.

Re: LTE 2.0
In that sense, the Leafs are one of the most successful franchises in the history of any sport. Hell, they've been sold out at home for something like 40+ years. Personally, I think that has been part of their problem. Why improve when we have a license to print money and we'll never ever ever lose our fanbase?Lavabe wrote: HOWEVER, if successful is measured in terms of fan support, ticket numbers, etc..., the Maple Leafs have a strong fan base, and ARE successful.
Not so much any more. Attendance is way down lately. I'm curious how attendance would be affected if they were to be competing for pennants again.For that matter, the BJ's do well with tickets and support.
No surprise there!Note to colchar: this was a heated debate at the Canadian field camp this year.

Now I'm not dismissing your , but this is more a rant about pediatric dentistry. I can't recall ANY of our daughter's pediatric dentists who were open on Saturdays. A vet for our dog open on a Saturday, yes. Emergency room and special Saturday ours for a pediatrician? Yes. But a pediatric dentist? Not really. Normally, we have to stabilize until Monday comes around.

Most of the dentists here in Morehead and Beaufort are only open Monday - Thursday. The few that are open on Friday's only work a half day. One of the dentist office only works a half day on Thursday.
