Christian Louboutin is very successful in the area of Louboutin Shoes
. The Christian Louboutin Pumps
which are designed by him are so special. Looking at the gorgeous Christian Louboutin Boots
, I smiled. Since then, Christian Louboutin Sandals
became a best friend of mine.

I think if anything it's probably just Beeston doing a favour for his old buddy Cito. I doubt the decision much to do with selling tickets, and it obviously wasn't a strategic move, so that's all I can really think of. Which is unfortunate, because if that's the case, what an awful basis for making that kind of decision.

I just can't believe they plan on rebuilding (or retooling, or whatever) this year with a manager who they already know for certain won't be here next year. It defies all logic.

I totally agree with Ty that a winning team will sell way more tickets than continuing the nostalgia campaign, but I can't come up with one logical
scenario that explains why it would be good to have Cito back next year. Is there a severe shortage of managers for hire? Even so, I'm pretty sure that almost anyone could improve upon what we saw this past season.

I don't know if I buy into the "Paul Beeston thinks he'll sell more tickets by keeping Cito" idea. Even a guy who overestimates the strength of nostalgia in Toronto must be aware that a winning team - or at the very least, one that is exciting to watch - would sell more tickets than that nostalgia ever would, even if it did still exist. There have to be some other factors at work here.

It's really confusing that Cito is being allowed to continue. The only reason I can think of is that they really believe he'll still sell tickets. He's proven he can't manage so what other possible reason can there be?

The face of Toronto is decidedly different, if you want to grow a business in Toronto in 2010, you're going to need to capture fans who either weren't born or possibly weren't even Canadians in 1992. They sure as shit don't care who Cito Gaston is. They, like everyone else, want to cheer and celebrate and party on Yonge Street celebrating something new and real, not old and repackaged.

Yes. Beeston overestimates the nostalgia in this town. It's really just frustration with watching a loser. Most of the fan base doesn't remember the 93 team and/or they're smart enough to know we can't do it again. Those Jays had the best scouting and highest payrolls in baseball. Not possible anymore since they go hand in hand these days.

Does anyone remember a time in the history of anything where trying to recreate the good old days ever succeeded? The Seinfeld reunion on Curb sucked. I rest my case.
