I won’t call you an idiot because that gets the moderators all riled up… but I will say that, mentally, you are all fucked up!!!
Perry
Can't you guys learn to all get along a bit better??
I mean we're all on the same Blue Jay supporters club here, right??
Just so you know, in the 80's I used to belong to hardcore Amsterdam fanclub called F-side (google it).
If anyone acted the way some of you guys act they wouldve been tossed out by their ears. There's nothing worse than disunity when it comes to team supporters

Well done PM and others, getting BBL banned.
Always had to start argue with everyone. Also notice how every dig he threw at others, really mostly pertained to himself?
Too much internet for him.
1 down, 1 to go
Now we can talk baseball here without harassment.

Right? They're too chicken shit to go out on a limb and predict anything but gee when something turns around 6 weeks later, they're all over, digging up old posts from last year trying to make some inane or useless point.I like when you predict something wrong shack and costanza are all over that, but when you predict something right they suddenly go radio silent

They clearly don't have enough knowledge of baseball to predict anything but have enough trolling skills to rag on people. To be fair to them, they are the cackling dead.
So here's your chance gcostanza, and shack, say something smart about baseball/Jays.
Otherwise, ya know where to put the cork...
Just a question for one of the more knowledgeable baseball fans here;1 down, 1 to go
In baseball if there's 1 down, isn't there 2 to go?
opcorn:What you continually fail to realize in most of my posts is that I almost never put myself out as being an expert. In fact most of my criticisms are trying to point out that nobody on here is and that is what pisses some of you guys off. I rarely predict and I rarely second guess decisions. I'm sure you can find the occasional post to the contrary but I am not trying to impress anyone, least of the "expert" who calls himself "(you think you know more than) ME"? Posts like that are undeniably somebody who not only thinks they are an expert but needs attention as well. Very immature attitude.
I'll admit that I can be picky and sarcastic but I know what I am and that is first and foremost a fan. I cheer for my teams. I don't arm chair manage them.
As far as predictions go, they are meaningless. All they are are just wild stabs in the dark and are not indicators of knowledge. That is why I laugh when someone is wrong and say nothing when they are right. If someone is such a smart predictor I would expect them to be placing thousands of dollars down in bets. If not, they are too chicken shit to put their money where their mouth is.
But just to feed into your childlike needs, I think the Jays are very talented as currently built and should remain competitive right through to the end. Hopefully Shapeero has enough faith and isn't too cheap to add a significant piece or two.
C'mon, say something smart.
And once again (I am beginning to doubt if this will ever sink in) everyone is entitled to their opinion but don't pretend that having an opinion is the same as being an expert.
BTW, guaranteed you get banned before I do. You are too emotional. I consider being called a "troll" and "cackling dead" insults.
You are correct of courseJust a question for one of the more knowledgeable baseball fans here;

Just checking if you're awake.
At near the All Star break, and I would like to blow off some steam, as I believe, the sports writers of this city are basically idiots, who nothing about sports.
That is one great thing about the internet. We can expose ignorance. In this case, Toronto sports writers ignorance about baseball. (Note: internet can be used for other things like flaming and shit, we try not to do that here, except shit on Toronto media).
Today Toronto does not lead the division but has the most number of wins as Baltimore has a few games in hand. Toronto currently has 50 wins.
Cleveland 52 wins.
Texas 54 wins.
Washington 52
Chicago Cubs 52
SF at 54 wins
Toronto is right among the leaders of baseball. Only these 6 teams have 50 or more wins. Detroit is starting some more mediocre pitching the next two games. Bombs away!
Earlier in the season, it was like the bull pen is awful. The starter pitchers cannot hold up. The bats are silent. Guess what! 50 wins at the All Star break.
The Blue Jays will probably try to add another reliever. The whole team could be firing on all cylinders.
That's why we are not going to see much excitement or cheer leading of the Blue Jays from the Toronto press right now. Those bozo reporters remember what they wrote, and now covering their ass.
Sort of the like the Phil Kessel situation when he was run out of town, only to win the Stanley Cup and just missed being MVP.
That is, the Toronto sports writer.

I like Richard Griffin in the Star.
He clearly expressed concerns for the Jays but at no point did he call for drastic moves or impending doom. He'd taken "the players eventually returning to their norms" approach, lots of time left and has felt that Gibbons is a good fit as manager for a team with lots of high character veterans who can handle the dressing room. He has been consistent.
Agree there are lots of idiots. Also with the Star, I do not like Dave Feschuk. He's a little weasel always trying to stir up shit. I think that he was the one that asked Kessel if he was a coach killer after Carlyle got fired and Kessel walked out.

And what's with all the crowds? 46000 I heard the other day for the Detroit game. Not living in Toronto I was left wondering has last year's euphoria returned to the streets?
It seems they are resting Travis every 3-4 games so it likely he is still recovering from his injury. He had a hot month there OPS .900+.
I understand the value of having a consistent lineup, so stick Carrera there until JB gets back. But I always thought long term plan to put Travis leadoff, followed by JB, JD, EE, MS, etc.
I presume you are talking about Tulo, Edwin, MS, JD and JoeyBats. JB is at 12 HR and when he gets back after the AS break, he may have 65 games or so to hit 18. That's a pretty tall order, but if anyone can, it could be JB.
I'm a huge JB fan and he is still the straw that stirs the team. At the quarter mark of the season, we were 19-23 (I know gcostanza, the quarter is 40.5 games
) and the offence was struggling. JB volunteered to leadoff and the Jays went off on a 20-8 stretch to get back on track. when he injured his toe, we scuffled a bit at 4-8; until recent win streak.
Worth noting, he knew his RBI numbers would take a hit going into his FA season, but made the sacrifice for the team. I'm not saying re-sign him, but it's still his team.
Reminds me of Tony Fernandez but with more power. His jump side-arm throw from deep in the hole to get Upton last night gave me flashbacks; or it was the weed
Reminds me of the smooth Olerud swing, but with more power. Olerud was more of a doubles gap hitter, but Saunders clears the fences the opposite way. Luv that he is hitting lefties better than righties.
