Mike Wilner:Jays Talk

[fireballW]

Wilner will be using this factoid throughout the offseason.

 

If the Jays win 1 of the next 2 games, they will have 74 wins which will technically be an improvement.

 

I find it annoying as a loyal fan who buys flexpack tickets each year, + merchandise + food + watches the game on Rogers TV etc to not expect a bit of courtesy from AA or whoever to say apologize & try to do better in 2014.

 

I am well aware that there are no legal guarantees that the team should win when I buy a ticket but from a customer service perspective, but it would be a nice gesture from the jays.

 

AA already publicly said about how he feels guilty, how the fans supported the team and deserved better and took blame. What did most people do? They scoffed at this as if it would be a lie. Grow up.

This is really out of hand. People who thought this team would be in a playoff race, which includes almost everyone, really need to give it a rest. I can 100% understand that some people could be on the fence about AA after last offseason. The Dickey trade was a disaster in that Syndy should not have been included. But regardless anybody who can't see that AA has made more good moves than bad ones since coming here is being ridiculous. This team on paper was a good team that didn't live up to expectations. Even if we can agree the Dickey trade was not good in itself, it is crazy to not see the reason for it - we NEEDED that one more starter to make us legit contenders, and going half in would have been stupid. This team would not be competing for a looong time if we just stayed the course. Things would not have lined up at the same time.

 

AA has done more good than bad. He has also shown he can VERY quickly turn around a minor league system. This offseason is make or break, but right now there is no reason to act like we KNOW that AA doesn't have what it takes.

 

I know it sounds stupid but what I would like to see is AA get himself right. As in, start hitting the gym, lose some pounds, get healthy, get his mind right. He WaS very sharp when he first got the job, really. But over the past few years he has definitely lost a step. He needs to get right, get healthy, get some more sleep and be ready to go this offseason.

thinks JPA is a major league catcher

 

I'm not so sure on this one anymore.

Can we just make it a mutual apology?

 

The team assembled wasn't great, the players played pretty bad and the people who attended games, I guess you can call them fans have been s*** since the Jays became a team. Let's not kid ourselves, the fans who go to games are an embarrassment

This is my favorite all time Jays Talk caller. Calls every other night. Uses a different name every time he calls and makes about the same complaint every time. There is no Jays fan in Jays land more frustrated then this guy. He always tries to keep his composer for about the first 30 seconds before completely falling off the rails.

God Wilner is such an apologist.

 

Disgusting. He's SUCH a company man.
