C'mon Jays - 100 win season time! Let's go all the way in style. First time coming off a WS appearance since 1994 (ugh - less said about that season the better).

Oh yeah, playing the minor league A's (if they won't claim a city while playing in a minor league park for 3 years, I'll just call them minor league).
