One time some JaysTalk caller pronounced Mark Belanger's name the hockey way and I could sense Wilner blacking out for a few seconds after correcting him.

I wouldn't be sad to see it go, but I don't think it really makes all that much of a difference.

There were always stories of players having ridiculous spring showings, only to be shafted for whoever the brain trust decided would repeat their outlier seasons, and justify the enormous contracts that they were handed. It's nice to know that this year, the players who put forth a great spring showing will actually be given a chance to prove it in the big leagues... well, if you consider being the under-study to Jose Bautista as "proving it"...Hillerajnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-6915232867933026842010-03-01T14:36:04.440-05:002010-03-01T14:36:04.440-05:00Even if they are a fifth place team this year it&#...Even if they are a fifth place team this year it's still our team.

It's a good attitude to enter thus season with, and it doesn't seem to be exclusive to us fans - lots of players seem legitimately excited to turn over a new leaf this year too. It seems like a chance for the younger guys to really make this team their own, which is probably pretty motivating for a lot of them.<br /><br />Also, a rotation of Marcum/Morrow/McGowan/Romero/fifh guy (Rzepczynski or Cecil?) would actually be pretty decent, verging on impressive. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see thus team finish better than last year.Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878921441543129555noreply@blogger.com
