So long Carlos

Well, it looks like the end of the Carlos Delgado era as a Toronto Blue Jay is upon us. The Jays decided not to offer him arbitration at midnight tonight so now, Carlos is a free agent and will likely sign elsewhere. It'll be sad to see Carlos go because he was such a great player for this team and also the heart and sole for the fans. Carlos was ALWAYS smiling and such a solid individual for the community. One of the only athletes in Toronto you could probably compare to Pinball Clemons but not quite at the level of Pinball (he is at a bar totally his own). Delgado never got along with Jays GM Ricchardi and the writing has been on the wall for a while. The time is actually here now though. I wonder where he'll end up.

And when the hell is one of Toronto's other superstars leaving? The fanfare surrounding that chump is quite different, eh?
