Besides all hailing from the centre of the Canadian sporting universe, the Toronto Blue Jays, Maple Leafs, Argonauts and Raptors also have one painfully obvious characteristic in common: they are seven shades of useless.



Between the four Toronto pro sports teams, it has been a combined 76 years since any have managed to win a World Series, Grey Cup, Stanley Cup or NBA Championship title. The Blue Jays have just finished another playoff-less season with a 75-87 record and the Argos won't make the CFL post-season either and sit at a CFL worst 3-11. Moreover, it is unlikely the Raptors or Leafs will have anything close to a playoff berth in the NBA and NHL in 2009-10.
