It makes you wonder, and should make Rogers wonder, how high the ratings and live gate might be if they spent some money on the on-field product

Opening Day, Yankees on Labour Day Weekend, Debut of Brett Lawrie, Opening Day Weekend, and what exactly? What made a Monday night game in Detroit so highly rated?

Verlander's next start against us after the no-hitter? No.

The Texas Rangers got a 3 billion dollar TV deal(over 20 years) and they only draw like 180K a game, Rogers must be making out like bandits if the Jays really draw 475K a game.
