1984 IS GONNA BE THE BLUE JAYS’ YEAR
02.21.08You have to admit, 1984 was pretty sweet. Michael Jackson was black, we kicked ass at the LA Olympics because the bitch-ass commies stayed home, Reagan was still kinda lucid when he beat the hell out of Mondale, and I rocked the block with my Return of the Jedi t-shirt. It had speeder bikes on it.
Most importantly, if the zeitgeist of 1984 had a face, that face had a mustache. Much like everyone on the Blue Jays.

Garth Iorg might win the triple crown this year.

FEAR DAVE STEIB!!!
It's so weird when you realize that in 1984, almost every adult male in North America caught a bad case of the "hardcore, bus station gay".
Just think — it took 9 more years to kick all those mustache Village-people loving losers off the team so they could win the Series. Take note, Cubs fans — therein lies your solution.
And for every Blue Jays fan from the 80's/90's:
OK!
<clap clap>
Blue Jays!
<clap clap>
Let's!
Play!
Ball!
<clap clap>
[Wait -- the Orioles were World Champions? When the hell did that happen? The Orioles have always been the sucking noise at the bottom of the AL East, until the Devil Rays showed up, that is.]
1984: The year Alfredo Griffin fucked everyone's aunt.
It's 1984? That means Dale Murphy is on his way to being a first-ballot Hall of Famer! Woo-HAH!
1984. Also known as the year I decided it would be an excellent idea to set sail down the river of perming my hair every 6-8 months. The horror. The horror.
Tom Neidenfuer looked pretty scared.
And, Ghostbusters just went on my Netflix list.
ahh 1984.. the year that i decided it was time to stop shitting my pants and be a big kid. the defining years.
@F’in MotherF’er – thank you for that. it was a terrific time. Full of clever lil chants such as that. Guess it beats the Braves’ racist tomahawk chop.
Bravo, sir. You just made my day.
The Tomahawk Chop was not around in 1984. That's when we had a certified injun sitting in a teepee in the outfield.
Sir, I am in your debt. Just don't let Buck Martinez hit me over the head with a bat.
Is this before or after Jess threw Josh down the stairs?
Chicago cops: keeping the Blue Jays' tradition of facial hair alive for 24 years.
I read last month that mustaches are the new "hip" facial adornment for men. Ufford, make it happen.
That's World Series MVP Rick Dempsey there, oddly exhibiting the most talent on this video.
Who wants a $.25 moustache ride?
