I know none of us give a s***, but there just HAS to be a GDT. Doesn't there? Or would we send a "message" by our indifference if we don't put one up/. Maybe I'm overthinking this. Maybe I'll just watch football instead. Yeas, that's it. And do some work that's been sitting around. And hang out with my kids and get some xercise. I wish. I had to go to work today. But I went to the hospital lounge to have lunch and check the score. Have you guys exercised today? Should get on it. Sooner in the day is better than later. Cause exercising too late make sit hard to sleep and poor sleep can increase all sorts of heralth risks and just make you grouchy. Me? I'm not grouchy, in apretty goopd mood really. Thanks for asking. Hungry though. Only had a 6" from Subway and it's just not enough. But a footlong is too much bread. They should make a 9" sandwhich. I've said that 1000 times. I wish there were more choiuces near here like a taco place. Subway is a bit tired. Chpotle. Mmmm. Have they got those in Canada? Mostly living in Canada is good but those americans have great takeout. Problem is too big of servings. And french fries with everything. I hardly eat them, maybe like once a month and they have to be good. In my line of work I have to lead by a decent example cause I'll about preventing heart attacks. So don't smoke. That's just all bad and a waste of money. Why do people do it? It's disgusting. If you smoke, I'm not judging you, I just don't get it I guess. But stop. It's a waste of money and health. Get a new hobby. Like miniature trains or something. No, that's sort of immature. But online gambling is bad too. Try exercise and video games. That's what I do. There are lots of choices but those are good ones. So mnay god games, but a bit of a lull before the PS4 and XBOX ONE come out. That's a tough one, I've always been an XBOX guy but the PS4 just looks better. SHould I switch? Probably but there's a comfort level you know, sort of like with cell phones. Like I've had iPhones for years, but I sort of realy want an Andoid. Samsung Galaxy S4 is sweet, but I have a lot invested in Apple apps and chargers. Kind of scary to startert new but sort of exciting too. And I could use some excitement. I'm not getting any younger, and a lot of my friends are boring. Don't want to do s***. Come on guys, live a little. I go to Vegas every second year and one guy I always go with now wants to go somewhere else and I'm like why?!?!?! He's a bit older than me, 42 or 43 but come on you're not too old for Vegas. No one is. It's awesome. And we go at CES time so there's lots to see even is you don;t like gambling, booze and strip clubs. Maytbe that's the problem. He won't go to strip clubs. Don't ask me why. Anyway so he wants to go to Myrtle Baech for goilf, and I'm like that's cool, but I still want to go to Vegas every couple of years cause I love it. Great food there, hopy crap. Fatburger. Yeah I eat there. And I don't fele bad about it, cause it's so rare. ANyhow, mostly these guys wanrt to stay home and do yardwork and stuff. I'm like guys, we're not 60 years old or something. The lawn isns't THAT important. Have some fun. Take the kids somewhere. Let's go to a movie or something. Go kayaking on the river. Of course, the guys with no kids have more freedom but you'd never know it. "I'm so busy!" but those of us with 2-3 klids roll our eyes and think "whatever". You don't know what busy is. Try a job where you work 50-55 hours a week, and have little kids that you have to run everywhere and a property to take care of and wife who always needs stuff. Don't get me started on that. It's like everything is highest priority. Like, come on, some stuff can wait until Saturday. I'll get the important stuff done right away, but I want to take my son to practice basketball and then go for abike ride. After that I just want to watch the Jays even though they stink. Is that so much to ask? That other stuff can wait, OK? I guess I got off topic a bit. What was I talking about? GDT's. Hmmm, wonder is there's agame on today. Oh wait,m there is. How do I know this? Lots of ways but noticijng a game day thread on here sure helps. So lets' keep making them, even if they suck. OK? Thanks.

Goins with another highlight reel play I see. Wow.

[Abomination]

Goins with another highlight reel play I see. Wow.

 

Definitely no question about the glove.

[G-Snarls]

Definitely no question about the glove.

 

Many wanted to see a middle infield of Hech (all glove, terrible bat) and Escobar (very good glove, so so bat)

 

Reyes (excellent bat, acceptable glove) and Goins (excellent glove, marginal bat) doesn't seem too bad in comparison...

[BlueJayWay]

.201 and dropping

[Jays]

Arencibia batting 201 lol.

[Jays]

f***. They're letting Edwin play injured and risking his health for next season while trying to take away a protected pick. What a bunch of dumbasses.

[G-Snarls]

This is a milestone I really want guys. JPA under .200 considering how poor of a defender he is. They can't defend him any more. Non tender this off-season and move on.

 

My thoughts exactly. No front office, no matter how inept, can ignore an everyday player hitting under .200. We know they don't used the advanced stats, so thankfully he's making it easier for them by sucking in the most basic one.

[Jays]

lol Lind

[Jays]

Arencibia is one of the few reasons to watch. Hoping for another out, make it a double play for style.

[Jays]

This is also quite dumb. But if a player is pushing to playit makes it difficult situation. Someone with balls needs to tell him no.

 

did AA neuter Gibbons when they brought him back?

[Jays]

If Arencibia makes an out right here, he's hitting 200!

[Jays]

0-2!

[BlueJayWay]

.200

[Jays]

Fastball right down the middle, swing and miss! 200! Congrats JPA!

[Jays]

 

Awhile back, from the old board.

"No! Its impossible for JPA to improve!" ~theblujay

[G-Snarls]

Sweet

 

Excellent strikeout!!

[G-Snarls]

And I was a JPA defender at the start if this season. Now I just can't WAIT to see him gone. How awesome would it be if he was designated for assignment before the season even ended???

[G-Snarls]

0-3, 1K, 3 LOB

 

But I'm a run producer!!!

 

LOL

[Jays]

is there any team that would trade to RECEIVE Arencibia?

[Jays]

is there any team that would think it's a good idea to have Arencibia in AAA to call up incase of injuries? The ultimate backup plan. The secret weapon.

[BlueJayWay]

Encarnacion's wrist is gonna explode any time

[GD]

Remember when Omar Vizquel PH for Arencibia? Today, that still may be a justifiable move.

[Jays]

Drabek is nasty. Good job by him. Arencibia coming up soon!

[Jays]

lol I totally had a feeling they wouldn't let Arencibia's average get below 200. Watch them make up an injury or something and he won't get another at bat all year.

[Jays]

Watch them shut him down for the season. He did foul a ball of his foot. About the only thing he hit today. I don't know how he did in batting practice.

 

Probably three swings and misses

[Jays]

Drabek two scoreless innings.
