It's #OpeningDay and the #BlueJays still don't have a home.

Here's how their Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo got passed over, as told through SpongeBob memes.

A thread:
July 18: The Canadian government says the Blue Jays can’t play in Toronto like a week before the season is set to begin
Buffalo realizing it could host Major League games, even for one short summer, after a century of getting passed over
The Blue Jays’ Triple-A affiliate offering to do whatever is needed to host the team
Buffalo fantasizing about the big-league club actually caring and creating a strong partnership after years of indifference
Buffalo sports fans getting their hopes up about something
The Blue Jays when the mayor and county executive tweet about what a great partnership this could be
"Their minor league complex in Florida could be a good option too tho"
Blue Jays players: wE wAnT a MaJoR lEaGuE sTaDiUm
Blue Jays players imagining what life will be like in some other major-league city
What social activity while playing through a pandemic will actually be like
**evil Plankton voice**

Y'all lost 95 games last year, half of you should be in Triple-A anyway

Buffalo: ok but seriously, let's do this! all the changes to our stadium can be made in time for the season

Toronto:
Buffalo: we mean it, just say the word and we'll get started

Toronto:
What it would be like if the Blue Jays could capitalize on an unprecedented opportunity to create fans in a sports-rabid market 90 minutes away instead of ignoring them
The Jays instead
Reports come out that the Blue Jays are also looking at other random MLB cities when Buffalo is right here
Buffalo: Come on, we’re your top affiliate, we're part of the family

Toronto:
The Jays claim it will be hard to social distance in Buffalo despite having an entire stadium at their disposal
Starting to set in that the Jays just don’t want any part of Buffalo
All of our plans for taking on Blue Jays fandom
What it's like being Triple-A affiliate when the parent club only remembers you exist when they need to manipulate service time to avoid paying their employees a fair salary
Yep the Blue Jays are going to Pittsburgh
Toronto: At least we'll let you host our non-roster guys who didn’t make the team! You can be our Alternate Training Site!

Buffalo:
Buffalo taking a second to be salty after getting overlooked for the 9687349537th time
LOLLLLL Pennsylvania denied them to play in Pittsburgh 😂
Realizing the Blue Jays might have to play the entire season on the road when they could’ve just played in Buffalo
Fans in Buffalo hoping the Jays go 0-60 this year after the disrespect
Will the Blue Jays end up in Baltimore? Washington? A split solution? Every game on the road? Does it matter? Bueller?
