Is anyone feeling better about the team then they did a week ago?

[Caper]

Jorge Alfaro is a thing

 

Yip... and he is a thing not starting for Texas tomorrow.

[Jimcanuck]

It's an honest answer. Don't lose sight of the fact that this is a game.

 

Its a dumb question anyway. AA stays whether the Jays win or lose in that scenario.

[G-Snarls]

Question: The Jays are in a one game elimination playoff. They win, they're in. They lose and AA gets fired.

 

What do you hope happens?

 

The correct answer is "they got in to contention because the kick ass AA showed up again and made some shrewd mid season moves. The team went from just under .500 at the all star beak to within 1 game of the second wild card thanks to addressing two problems that became apparent in the first half. The moves did not mortgage the future. Beeston has a mild stroke in September and won't be back next year. In a weak moment he admits that the Mets would have settled for Anthony Gose in the Dickey trade rather than Syndergaard, but he blocked AA from making the deal and insisted Syndergaard be dealt instead. Also, AA signs both first round draft picks and rest of league marvels at how he stole them. Attendance is at an all time high. Jays extend Lawrie and Rasmus to financially prudent extensions"

 

So, of course we want to win the game AND keep AA

 

There. F'n simple.

[Caper]

Choose option "They lose and AA gets fired."

 

Because the future of the team is a lot more important than a few playoff games.

 

 

 

Hello Kings tonsils..... meet BTS's cock.

So what if the next gm is just as bad?

 

You're like 7 right? I've been waiting for them to make the playoffs for twice as long as you've been alive.

I haven't, at all.

 

You need to let your hair down a little. If the Jays made a serious playoff push this town and the dome would be electric. Do you not like having fun?

[GD]

Yip... and he is a thing not starting for Texas tomorrow.

 

Yes, and the thing that should be starting for Texas is Soto.

 

Soto now and Alfaro when he's ready is a perfectly respectable situation considering that they're a contender with a bright outlook and also the same payroll as us.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Well, there is too many hypothetical situations to have the "right" answer.

 

So let me get this straight.

 

You have almost 15K posts in a few months on a Toronto Blue Jays message board and you can envision yourself sitting in front of your television in the bottom of the 9th inning of a tie-breaker being indifferent to whether the Jays score a winning run to put them into the playoffs.

 

lol The internet has exposed me to some crazy s*** but this is right up there.

[TheHurl]

I don't want to start fights with anyone. BTS is good people and I'm probably going to be getting trashed with a lot of other people in this thread during the upcoming Yankees series so I'd like to keep things cheerful (hate drinking when I'm angry).

 

But that's a question that needs to be answered!

 

at least now I know I'll be wearing my Rays shirt for one of the opening weekend games.

[GD]

I want to see the Jays make the playoffs every year, not just one year.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I will fight you. That's no lie.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Not me. I only want to see them make it one time.

[Caper]

To be fair it's because is Soto significantly injured

 

They signed JP for about 1M to be a backup

 

This isn't about being fair.... this is about winning internet flame wars.

[Caper]

I want to see the Jays make the playoffs every year, not just one year.

 

Yes... and with Billy Bean the Jays will make the playoffs.... in the hardest division in baseball......... every single year.

[GD]

Billy Beane on a $130m payroll would be one of the best teams in baseball, but you probably think that they'd overspend and s*** because somehow having more money would make them stop looking at every single statistic they look at already.

[GD]

Actually, watch that s***. Stuff like this is what starts the insufferable s*** shows.

 

We're kind of past that already lol

[GD]

He's no CHP, that's for sure.

 

Come back, my sweet prince. I must hear you rave about the Leafs' decision making.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Guys tomorrow is Monday. Monday's suck. Let's all enjoy the end of Sunday before we have to f***ing start Monday.

 

Turn those frowns upside down bro's!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Or let's just sling s*** at each other. f*** everyone. I hate you all.

 

No I don't I love you all.

[Caper]

You're really bad at trolling, by the way.

 

 

I don't know... I had you off the wall last year when I had Ramon Ortiz as a top 5 prospect last year..... I know you don't want to admit that... but it was true.

[G-Snarls]

Deleted gut-churning oral sex references.

 

Enough

 

Argue the points/opinions or infractions

Work in downtown Hali and taking the last 3rd of my day off to be home and watch the game.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

No way bro... I'm going to the Rays vs Jays game in St. Petes

 

Can't wait!

 

Saw online that you can get tickets almost directly behind the backstop for like 30-40 bucks.

 

What a joke of a fanbase.

[G-Snarls]

Oh yeah, cool! Which ones?

[GD]

You were knew enough that I wasn't sure if you were trolling or not. And I was new enough as well.

 

Now, it's fairly apparent that you're just trying to get a rise out of King and BTS, who you really don't f***ing like for some reason or another. Have fun with that, baud. Very productive.

[G-Snarls]

They have a fan base? I just thought a few old confused people wandered in because it was air conditioned and they thought there was free sweet tea and pink filling sandwiches.

[GD]

Wanna hug it out?

 

What, no circle jerk?

[G-Snarls]

East, I have to say I feel bad about telling you to get off your high horse. I mean, I think you were on one, but that's probably the most unpleasant thing I've said to you in like 10 years on this forum. Wanna hug it out?

 

Only if bro hugs. You guys know the difference right?

[dineke]

I want to see the Jays make the playoffs every year, not just one year.

 

Good luck with that. I'd be happy if they played a meaningful game in September once...

[eastcoastjaysfan]

#HaliBro

 

Didn't know you from Halifax. I feel bad now for slinging s*** at you in the Raptors thread. Dig out from the snowstorm yet? My dad rage-calls me every other day giving me updates (he lives in Cape Breton). Sunny at 2 degrees here today!
