Are The Blue Jays Becoming Cool?

They blare too much unnecessary music and bullshit at their drab park, most of their fans are idiots, and because the local media fawns over them like a village newspaper boosting the town's theater production, beating them is a ton of fun.

But the Blue Jays have John Farrell as their manager, GM Alex Anthopoulos is a mind-control ninja, a mysterious man in white may have been stealing signs for them, and it appears there are at least a couple of cool dudes on the roster.

Pitcher Brandon Morrow, talking about his performance this season, recently said:

Some of those numbers don't look so hot, but if you look at the nerd stats, I'm having a pretty good year. I'm not always sure how they come to those conclusions, but I like them. ... I'd rather look at the nerd stats.

And AL MVP-favourite Jose Bautista is "as adept at Internetting as he is at smiting cowhide orbs over fencing". (I wish this one was true.)
