Doug Smith argued Wednesday that the Toronto Blue Jays had its most disappointing season ever in franchise history this year and 51 per cent of Toronto Star readers agreed in our poll.

But that got us thinking. Which Toronto pro sports franchise has had a worst season?

The Maple Leafs were in first place overall at the beginning of last season and had a firm grip on a playoff spot before the bottom fell out in February. Ron Wilson was fired as coach, replaced by Randy Carlyle and still the team didn’t make the playoffs for the seventh straight year.

And now they’re not even playing because of the NHL lockout.

There’s a lot of optimism as the Raptors begin training camp next week. But that’s only after a disastrous season in which they didn’t make the playoffs again for the fourth straight year, lost Andrea Bargnani after he was playing at an all-star level for the first few weeks, won just enough games so that they fell all the way to eighth spot in the NBA draft (missing out on Harrison Barnes and a few others they had their eyes on) and, to add insult to injury, lost out on the Steve Nash sweepstakes in the off-season to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Toronto FC began 2012 on a high by advancing to the semifinals of CONCACAF Champions League for the first time in franchise history, but then set a record for most consecutive defeats to start a Major League Soccer season with an 0-9 record.

The Argos look to be in good position to make the playoffs this year so they get a pass although some might argue that they should be doing better than their 6-6- record with star quarterback Ricky Ray at the helm.

The Toronto Rock lost to the Rochester Knighthawks in the NLL East Division final, which prevented them from defending their 2011 championship and making it to their third straight Champion’s Cup game.

So who do you think had the most disappointing season?
