Has NBC discovered the Blue Jays yet?  I'm talking about the team that happens
to be in first place in the toughest division in baseball, 4 games ahead of the
Orioles and 5.5 ahead of the Tigers.  Those same Tigers are going to be in 
Toronto on the weekend for the first series of the year between these two teams.
So who do NBC show on the "Game of the Week"???  New York and Los Angeles?!?
San Diego and Pittsburgh?!?!?!?!  Pittsburgh!!   Come on, people!  Does NBC 
*really* think that either of these games between division leaders and sub-.500
clubs can match what is going to be going on in Toronto on Saturday?  Get with
it, NBC.  Show the American public the best team in baseball:  the Toronto 
Blue Jays!

The preceding couldn't possibly be the opinion of either the University of
Waterloo or Electrohome.  It's mine, all mine!


P.S.  Don't flame me if I've got the references to the Mets and the Padres 
	wrong.  I heard this info this morning on the radio and was blinded
	by the fact that NBC would have the Dodgers and Pirates playing.
	The important thing is that they are ignoring what is obviously the
	best game that will be played on Saturday.  

P.P.S.  I think that ABC will be telecasting a game between the Blue Jays and
	the Yankees in the near future.
