Super: That makes sense, but why are the starting times always something like 7:07 pm? Why not just 7:00? What's up with the extra seven minutes?

It's essentially done for television. The Blue Jays' broadcast needs a few minutes to set the scene and sell some ads. Rather than say 7 p.m. start and have people wait around, the team figures 7:07 is closer to the actual first pitch.
However -- depending on circumstances, it can be a couple of minutes later.
By the way, the White Sox start at 7:11 ... because of a promotional tie-in with a certain store.

Toronto is in a wierd spot where the sun goes down for the evening. Most games start at 7, but Toronto is between the hour difference. Remember, its Canada too!
