Mark Buehrle: "Maybe we're not as good as we thought we were"

[DH12]

Only mistake he made was the word maybe.

[o2cui2i]

Most of the "over rated" falls squarely on the underperforming shoulders of

 

Josh Johnson

R A Dickey

Brett Lawrie

 

there is lots of blame to go around. it would be easier to point out who isn't f***ing the dog this year.

[G-Snarls]

Still think it's too early, he's one bad month from being at the bottom of the barrel again.

 

LOL

 

No one goes from bad to good and back again so quickly

[Deadpool]

What's next? JPA multi year extension?

 

Hey, I knew this would come in handy again!

You kidding? There's many examples every year of that exact thing.

Do you really blame Buehrle for speaking his mind? Put yourself in his shoes, surrounded by a bunch of clowns who think they are the best players in the MLB, flashing they stupid signs when they get on base and flexing their muscles when they hit a home run. And that's when they are losing the games, how embarrassing is it to be part of that joke of a team?

 

I blame Gibbons for being a pussy and allowing that crap to go on. Bring some seriousness to this team, they are suppose to be professional MLB players, they are acting like t-ball little league players and many times they are showing their ignorance of basic baseball fundamentals and making blunders.

[HERPDERP]

It's about time someone said the truth.

 

Funny thing is, pre-season Buehrle said this team was even better than the one he was on that won the WS with the Chisox. So he's part of the problem.

[ElNik2013]

Buehrle also said during the winning streak that they were getting lots of breaks.

[ElNik2013]

Dickey agrees with Buehrle and some of us here:

Hard to not like that man even after his poor outings.

 

 

It certainly is. I refuse to get mad at him for the trade like others do even though I share their frustration and disappointment in his performance.

 

I've also come to like Buehrle for the way he handles himself and how accountable he is about his performances and again, despite my disagreement with management's decisions this past offseason.

lmao. even now our two "best" pitchers think the team was over rated.

what type of message does that send throughout?

FO should take note. Start tanking the rest of the way.

The question is, does the FO realize what now seems obvious to so many?

[8D]

I doubt they'll concede any time in the near future.

Maybe when the Jays are mathematically out of it they'll admit defeat this season.

We should put Buehrle on waivers? Another team may get desperate? Rosenthal was on FAN590 today saying not much available at this year's trade deadline. A few years ago we put Rios on waivers when everybody said no team would touch that contract...but there was one who did.

Very Randy Myers-esque.
