[Arkadium]

Blue Jays.... 9 hits

 

Orioles..... 9 hits

 

Blue Jays.... 3 runs

 

Orioles..... 8 runs

[Angrioter]

O's f***ing us again and again and again

[Arkadium]

@Wilnerness590: Juan Perez throws a perfect bot7. Now 19 2/3 innings w/o allowing an earned run to begin his #Bluejays career. #Jays down 8-3, Matusz in.

 

Just goes to show how little impact a solid bullpen can have when your SP is s***

[leaffie]

there hits were bigger than our hits?

[Abomination]

Down 5 runs, against a lefty, with a shift. Just put down a few push bunts and get on base for crying out loud (Lind and Rasmus)

don't forget s*** offense

[Arkadium]

don't forget s*** offense

 

They are s*** when you really need them, but overall... hard to say they are s***

[Arkadium]

Orgfiller >>>> you

GO AWAY

 

Oh yeah, I'm really loving the way the team is performing, the terrible offseason moves, losing all the prospects for old, injury prone players on giant contracts, I'm all smiles.

 

Seriously, the O's pitching as a whole is terrible, and you honestly can't say that isn't true without letting hatred cloud your judgement. They still have one of the best offenses in the MLB. So what, you think the Yankees' team is all stars too?

I can't believe we are worse-off than the Yankees, I think they are trash.

[Abomination]

Wagner showing some gas there!

[theblujay]

14 hits and we lose.

[Arkadium]

Yanks have like $70 million off the books this offseason. I can see them going HAM and trading for Headley plus signing Choo, Hart, and Garza or some s***. Like the offseason they added CC, Tex, and Burnett.

 

Can you elaborate on the $70mil off the books?

[G-Snarls]

LOL

 

So true

 

When you're behind 5-0 right at the start of the game, you're going to lose 95% of the time no matter how good your bullpen is.

I wish I could go into hibernation and come out when the Jays are not so miserable anymore.

2 months til football starts.

[DH12]

rogers should just sell the Jays they are money losing losers

[Arkadium]

2 months til football starts.

 

What's football?

[G-Snarls]

Hughes, Pettitte, Granderson, Youkilis, Kuroda, Rivera

 

They will almost certainly re sign some of those guys

[digiblader]

You're an idiot. Yanks don't have the prospects for Headley(Padres want a lot for him)--and Choo will cost a draft pick, as will Garza(unless Chicago trades him). Kuroda won't be back--and he'll likely demand more money if he does return.

 

A-Rod at DH? Yeah right--he's more likely to be released than ever play another game for the Yankees. And Choo isn't an option--Wells is under contract until 2014, and

 

You also forget that Cano will wipe out a good chunk of the savings--he's going for Pujols/A-Rod money.

 

Matt Garza is a .500 pitcher at best--not to mention he belongs in the NL, not the AL. He also stinks in NY--his numbers in 2010 at Yankee Stadium as a member of the Rays were awful.

 

Jeter's no guarantee to return in 2014--he may choose retirement instead, depending on health. Ditto for Pettite and Kuroda.

Look at high85 calling someone else an idiot. Adorable.

[Arkadium]

They'll probably bring back Kuroda. The savings: Granderson (15), Youkilis (12), Pettitte (12), Rivera (10), Hughes (7). That's $56 million off the books for players that have combined for 3.5 WAR.

 

I suspect we'll see something like:

 

RF - Choo

SS - Jeter

1B - Teixeira

2B - Cano

3B - Headley

DH - Rodriguez

CF - Gardner

LF - Ichiro

C - Stewart

 

SP - Sabathia

SP - Kuroda

SP - Garza

SP - Nova

SP - Phelps/Pineda/Pettitte

 

And that team is a fair bit cheaper than this year's. The Yankees will be back.

 

Choo is so f***ing good. Imagine our line-up with Choo, pretty damn lopsided!

[John_Havok]

rogers should just sell the Jays they are money losing losers

 

The Jays are making Rogers tens of millions every year and it's not even debatable really. That's a really uninformed comment.

[Arkadium]

Matt Garza is a .500 pitcher at best

 

Thank you for that, I feel enlightened now.

[digiblader]

Try a 62-62 career record. And Garza has a 6.17 ERA at Yankee Stadium--signing him to pitch there would be as bad as signing Carl Pavano back in 2005. Garza should stay away from Texas as well--his numbers are over 6 as well there. Despite a 5-1 record this year, he has not faced a quality opponent other than Cincinnati.

 

Anyone who gives Anibal Sanchez money to Garza is going to regret it.

[digiblader]

Exactly. The Jays provide a lot of programming for Rogers..if they were losing money, our payroll wouldn't be north of $120M.

[Boxcar]

Felix Hernandez has a 107-80 record. NOT VERY ACE-LIKE! Also a 4.97 ERA in Yankee Stadium for his career.

In order of importance:

 

1. Starting pitching

2. Offense

3/4 Defense/bullpen

5. Bench

6. Manager

Hey Boxy,

 

Please don't quote high85.

 

Thanks,

Is that Digiblader dude for real? He posts some stupid crap.
