Have the Toronto Blue Jays gotten anything right this year? As we near the end of a disappointing season, on a night that should have been a bright spot in an otherwise dark year, the Jays have once again dropped the ball. Joey Votto, one of the best baseball players this country has ever produced, has decided to call it a career. With the Cincinnati Reds in town (the team Votto played with for 17 years), and a lifelong dream to wear a Blue Jays jersey, it seemed like the perfect storm for a proper Canadian sendoff. That's why many, including Steve Simmons, were confused as to why the MLB slugger made his announcement from a parking lot in Buffalo. Steve joins us today to discuss the blatant disrespect shown by the organization and why he isn't surprised in the slightest before making room for Brad May to talk about his time competing with his daughter on The Amazing Race Canada.
