For ...Why would AA start commenting on rumours now? For all we know, the Jays bid was $6 million, not $51.1+. We need to stop pretending like we have any idea what that man is thinking. He's on a completely different level and is more mysterious than a game of Clue. If we lose the bid, I'm sure AA will come out, say "I told you so" about the payroll parameters, and we'll all cry.<br />If we can take an solace from this whole anonymous source business with the Darvish bidding, it's that prognosticators were right when it came to Matsuzaka (though the dollar amount was off) a few years ago. Hopefully that bodes well for us Jays fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-72056405276173242252011-12-19T10:52:53.497-05:002011-12-19T10:52:53.497-05:00Whatever the point of Anthopoulos's winter mee...Whatever the point of Anthopoulos's winter meetings calming the waters/playing down TO's financial might was, he's not doing it currently. If you're maybe fearful of the public being over zealous and maybe to be disappointed (get crabby) maybe you'd do some press massaging, tempering peoples hopes? He hasn't been doing that. Maybe that would indicate confidence in their bid?Shane Leavitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427737836943272424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-65615362754756071442011-12-19T10:31:45.892-05:002011-12-19T10:31:45.892-05:00Arthur doesn't seem to be a "gloater"...Arthur doesn't seem to be a "gloater".

If it turns out he is right, which non of us thinks he will, it will give him gloating abilities for years in saying "I was the only one right on Darvish".Peter DeMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025682416268680287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-83134294841707243122011-12-19T02:10:32.099-05:002011-12-19T02:10:32.099-05:00I'm just trying to get the kids ready.

The Arthur DJF poster equivalent column set your tone? Arrows seem to be pointing in quite possitive direction, and yet you & Arthur (as of this time of night) seem to just assume some correcting of the MLB universe is coming down.
