I don't care what the Jays record is this year, I just want the following:<br />- Lind and Hill to repeat their success from last year.<br />- Snider to take that next step<br />- Jays starting pitching to develop and a couple of their pieces to look like the real deal. Give me any two of (Morrow, Cecil, Romero, and Rzepcynzki) and I'll be happy.Peter DeMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025682416268680287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-56686526953479187672010-04-29T15:28:39.059-04:002010-04-29T15:28:39.059-04:00Yeah, well, I'm a grumpy man, damnit!

It's usage is increasingly common.<br /><br />But I'll cop to this: If you look at the etymology of the word, it comes from "minus", so it's probably better form to use the "u" spelling.<br /><br />But I'm guessing that your comment had less to do with etymology, and more to do with being an arsehole.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-73261948744561767402010-04-29T13:45:43.523-04:002010-04-29T13:45:43.523-04:00The Blue Jays are in one of those maddening stretc...The Blue Jays are in one of those maddening stretches. When they hit, they can't pitch. When they pitch, they can't hit. When the starter does well, the bullpen caves. Things should get better here, especially if the bullpen improves.<br /><br />Got to say tha Overbay has got to go. The guy is a real dead weight.William J.
