A feel-good article from the always-reliable Spencer Fordin at mlb.com sums up much of the optimism surrounding the club, at least at the upper echelons. Ted Rogers' high spirits in particular are to be welcomed; I haven't heard him this pumped about the team in ages. The fact that his enthusiasm for the team is primarily financial bothers me not at all: it's good to root for a team that makes its owner money while also making him happy. What a sea change -- not just from the last bad days of the Ash regime, but particularly from the Interbrew interregnum. We've had cause in the past to be critical of Ted Rogers and doubtless we will again in future. But let's never forget that compared to the Belgian brewers, and even on its own merits, the Rogers ownership period has been a dream.
