Blue Jays: 2015 edition

[black booty lover]

By the way BBL. They say a manager has a direct effect on 8--10 games per year..

Who is "they"?

There is no possible way to quantify this.

O's beat Yanks; TB wins. We're 1 game out of the WC and the same 1 game out of the ALE lead. TB is now tied w NYY for top spot. O's charging hard right behind us. 4-way race.

.......and it's only mid-June. The main question I ask now is what happens when the winning streak ends and how hard will they crash back to earth? A couple of years ago they had a 10 game winning streak and when it ended it was all downhill from there.

I love these kinds of posts. It's almost as if we all don't have smart phones and have this info at our finger tips.

Russell Martin has the tools to break into the elite class of catchers, but he needs a World Series Ring to do it. Here are the top 5 I've seen in my lifetime:

5. Jason Varitek, 4. Ivan Rodriguez, 3. Rick Dempsey, 2. Thurman Munson, 1. Johnny Bench

Well, here's the solution, Pal. Put me on ignore and look at your smart-phone instead.

Just wtf are YOU contributing to this thread?

In the last page, you've had little snide tiffs with Butler and Perry Mason and told everybody about how you watched the Jays' comeback against Cincinnati last year. So any time you want to provide us with super valuable inside information, feel free.

5. Jason Varitek,

You're joking, right?

Gary Carter, Mike Piazza, Carlton Fisk, Yadier Molina.

 

[Insidious Von]

Thanks for reminding me of my glaring omission shack.

5. Jorge Posada

Roy Campanella, Yogi Berra

 

[Perry Mason]

Best 5 catchers?

In order, IMHO: Yogi Berra, Johnny Bench, Roy Campanella, Mike Piazza and Pudge Rodriguez...

Honorable mentions (because one could never make such a list and not remember them): Carlton Fisk and Gary Carter.

Perry

 

[AK-47]

RBI single for Encarnacion.

1-0

 

[Perry Mason]

RBI single for Encarnacion.

1-0

This is why I say you have posting diarrhea... you are drowning us with your crap! :Eek:

We don't need your running account. Anyone who cares enough about the game is not relying on this board for your momentous updates...

You are likely a frustrated announcer: leave that job to Buck and Pat and say something useful if you have anything to say!

Perry

 

[Dawgger]

Before my time but Bill Dickey should probably be put into that group of top 5 or at worst an honorable mention

Pudge Rodriguez??!! I used to watch Rangers games just to see him gun down runners. Pudge at his prime was simply not human. Got so no one would run on him, so he used to pick them off their bags.

BTW, anyone bet before today's game that Goins would hit a 3 run jack out to the biggest part of right field at the Fen?

 

[AK-47]

6-0 Jays now.

Hey Perry, Goins hit a 3-run homer which really EE should have hit instead of singleing.
Cheers you old fart

He's been on Terb since 2001, and still has to pay women half his age to sleep with him.

You'd be grumpy too

I played poker last night. When I got there about 7:45 I said to put on the game. The guys said they turned it off because they were down 5-0 in the first.

Keeping in mind they were playing at the Fenway joke of a park against a team with a pitching coach as a manager yet with horrible pitching, I persisted. I was less of a believer at 8-1 down. I didn't pay much attention 'til I saw a couple of men on in the 7th, none out and now down 8-4. I dropped out of the hand and went to watch closer. Holy fucking shit. 9 runs in and no outs. We paused the poker game.

Anybody know what the MLB record would be for runs scored in an inning before an out is registered? I can't imagine it can be much higher, at least not since post WWII.

what type of poker were you playing?

 

[Insidious Von]

John Farrell is being served a generous slice of humble pie...don't let the broom hit you on the way out.

Way before my time, but Josh Gibson has to be mentioned as being among the all time greats.

Jason Varitek? Seriously?
