Editor's Letter
Why I started this
A note from a long-suffering Toronto Blue Jays fan, on the occasion of starting a blog he will mostly run from his kitchen.
Here is the situation. I am a Toronto Blue Jays fan. The Toronto Blue Jays, in 2026, are once again testing whether love can be measured in earned runs. I have decided that the appropriate response to this is to start a blog.
This site has three desks. The Grief Desk handles the bitter dispatches: eulogies for innings that died in front of us, obituaries for trade-deadline acquisitions who never quite arrived, accounts of bullpen choices that will not survive arbitration. The Comics Desk covers the absurdities — the days the bats vanished, the rotation note that read "TBA" for a week, the time a rookie pinch-ran for a guy who wasn't on base. The Opinion Desk writes the hot takes, and they are loud.
This site is a one-person operation. There are no advertisers, no sponsors, no syndication, no editorial board. There is only one fan, in one kitchen, with one team, and a steadily compounding grievance. The frequency of publication is determined by the team. The Blue Jays decide.
If you are also a fan, and also frustrated, you are welcome here. Subscribe if you'd like the rants delivered to your inbox; the RSS works too. We do not send confirmation emails because we have not yet decided whether the readers deserve them.
Sincerely, and only somewhat,
The Frustrated Jays Fan
