Yeah the Jays would lose money for a year or two BUT what if they make it into the playoffs? The money would come back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-47918051268973225622008-12-10T08:48:00.000-05:002008-12-10T08:48:00.000-05:00xcuse me while i rant.....i'm so downright frustra...xcuse me while i rant.....<BR/>i'm so downright frustrated with the current state of inaction and inability to do anything! just because we don't have the cash doesn't mean we can't and shouldn't be active at these meetings. last time i checked we had the best bullpen, some great starting pitching, some great players on the team and some great pieces in the farm system. <BR/>the time to make significant moves is not in may (frank thomas) or in July (mencherson) but in these so-called "winter" meetings (note to MLB: doesn't winter start on Dec. 21st?). <BR/>if the powers that be had any smarts or guts, they'd be working the lineup and attempting to mix things up with the positives and marketable items we already possess and turn those into equal if not greater parts (looking to the future here). the same old is not gonna cut it again (you think the yanks and red sox are standing pat? oh look, there goes CC and Tex already). there's gotta be teams out there lookin' to deal. <BR/>to sit there and cry poor is beyond all comprehension. put up or shut up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-84587658532644932382008-12-10T01:35:00.000-05:002008-12-10T01:35:00.000-05:00I love that picture.
