Let's get serious. when you throw out garbage like Burres and the wildly incosistent ,Purcey this is a contender? No way. JP should have gotten Parrish back , start miller OR even Castro in AA. Fine protect Mills and Cecil but Burres? This is bad Gming. He claims he wants to see hwat they have with the kids THEN puts out the Orioles' garbage like Burres! Alright Tallet, fine, but why throw out a pitcher that is so bad.<br /><br />Another thing, Cito's lineup today was terrible. I don't understand some of his moves, they seemed to win back in 92-93 in spite of him!The Pinchitting deal too is quite stupid. what is with Cito, he got the team to hit again so why the GIDPs again? And why except Burres over Bullington or even someone else? I question Gaston's greatness...he was a great hitting coach BUT manager? That is questionable.Bruno Von Rottweillernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-44868308345020386662009-04-30T13:35:00.000-04:002009-04-30T13:35:00.000-04:00You know the Jays are being looked at as a serious...You know the Jays are being looked at as a serious contender when the Sox trolls start coming out.

On the t...Fuck off Anon.<br />TOS...just ignore that BS<br /><br />On the topic of "games they should win". I kind of buy into the theory but not based solely on which teams they are playing, but rather the SP + the team they are playing. You only need to look at vegas odds (which I do far too often) to see that the line varies drastically depending on who is toeing the mound (my mind just drifted). So losing a game to Crazacky Greinke does not make me want to punch a wall...but when we drop games to a a picther like...well a Brian Burres type, which we seemed to do all the time last year, that is what made me want to go all "the most dangerous game" on Denbo last year...end of disjointed rant.KingofCabbagetownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-8300509346186618992009-04-30T12:55:00.000-04:002009-04-30T12:55:00.000-04:00Hold him down Tao, I'll beat on him.
No ... all t...Hold him down Tao, I'll beat on him.<br /><br />No ... all teams in this division have some issues. Toronto has a fantastic rotation on the DL. New York's bullpen other than Rivera is slightly less effective than a tee. Boston has two senior citizens who should get plastic knees installed soon. Tampa is falling to the norm. Baltimore is Baltimore.Voodoo Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-17798748748124378122009-04-30T12:52:00.000-04:002009-04-30T12:52:00.000-04:00Darren, what's up? anyway with Boston man, yeah y...Darren, what's up? anyway with Boston man, yeah your team is better and is the best team around BUT who schooled you last year? The Shitty little Rays, no? Yes, JP and the Rogers cheaped out this season and its a drag BUT the season is not over yet. Let's see if Lester holds up (he's been hit the last few times out),if Beckett is healthy and Dice-K etc .

In which case, we'd have to say that J.P. was a fox with his signings.<br /><br />Consider: Millar the minor league free agent (.914 OPS and 7 RsBI) versus Rocco Baldelli the major league free agent (.516 OPS and 1 RBI).<br /><br />(With apologies to Drew/Lloyd.)<br /><br />And don't even start with that Varitek nonsense around here, sunshine.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-16747305217741349862009-04-30T12:25:00.000-04:002009-04-30T12:25:00.000-04:00Tao of Sleaze, Barret and Millar were signed to mi...Tao of Sleaze, Barret and Millar were signed to minor league contracts NOT major league ones. That's what I meant. Anyway, someone mentioned y'all. I'm Black so we use y'all. I'm also from Somerville ,Mass so I use wicked pissa too. Anyway, the Jays are temporarily in first but with slop like Burres you can race to the bottom of the barrel. I'll give you credit at least you won't be the joke that Yankees Suck! will be. They have old farts, a bad farm and buy all their players. At least your owners(who are richer than ours by the way) didn't let JP make one major league signing.<br /><br /><br />About Tampa, they lucked out. They were better than the Jays last year but anyone was cept for Baltimore.Now Tampa reverted back to normal , but we'll crush them now.

Ricciardi didn't even sign one free agent! Not one. This team ain't contending anytime soon, if not for last place! I'm happy such a weak team is in the AL Easy(sic). Good luck with Burres, the Red Sox and everybody else schools him for that matter.
