Everyone Calm Down

[Olerud363]

Olerud, I'm getting a little worked up! The AL east is s*** and I feel we have one of the best offences in baseball, plus with Jansen back our pen might be half descent. If our starters could just give us six solid innings I'm starting to think we might have a shot this year..this could be the year.

 

LETS GET EXCITED, COME ON, JOIN ME. I KNOW YOU WANT TO. YOU CAN FEEL IT TUGGING AT YOU.

 

Sorry SAAviour... the only one here who knows the real deal is our friend Smedley... The cocaine and hoes must clear his brain somehow.

 

I'm guilty of being an old road apple talking about s*** that happened in '88... so let me bring up 2009

This link here will take you to the Jays record after 40 games in 2009. 26-14. Were you there?? If so were you calm?? You should of been. I wasn't, I thought the World Series was coming back for sure.

 

Stay calm Even 12 games over after 40 wasn't the real deal. No matter what happens keep calm.

CALM THE f*** DOWN!

Yup I was there thanks for keeping me grounded.

[Olerud363]

Had to come back here and calm down a bit. Got a little riled up after hearing the Beest doesn't respect programmers.

 

Beest is in control of team with 120,000,000 payroll and won't hire programmer for 1/1000th that much?? Does Beest know 100,000 is 1/1000 of the payroll?? He must he used to be an accountant. I think he is just trying to diss technical people.

 

Anyway. He is just one guy. Wall street actually kind of respects us and will pay a few hundred thousands to make some program that makes them billions. They don't like us but are just smarter then the Beest and know a little basic math.

 

OK. I'm starting to rant again. Go to my calm place. 82-80... 82-80... 100 programmers can't change it... at least not for 7 years.

[Smedley Butler]

Say your prayers, take your vitamins, and for the love of Dog, keep calm.

[Cooler Heads Prevail]

On pace for 88-74, and another Georgia Peach post saying there is no way in hell this is a playoff team. Overdue for a wildly optimistic post or two

about how the Rays are playoff bound and don't need David Price.

Will Buerhle win 30??

Is Hutch the next Halladay??

Will Melky win the batting title?

Is Gibby the next Earl Weaver??

Will they clinch by September 15th??

Is Mike Wilnar the next Dan Shulman??

 

It is hard glad keep calm with these questions floating around.

[Smedley Butler]

Smedley is dogg

 

You don't pray to Duane Chapman?

 

Heretic.

Is Raul Mondesi better then Goerge Bell?

Will Toronto sweep the World Series or win in 6 like in 92/93??

Will David Wells win 30??

Is Tony Bautista the next Mike Schmidt??

Is Gord Ash the next Branch Rickey??

 

Keep calm. I was seriously uncalm back in 2000. I wasted my youth following a doomed team.

Lol @ projecting teams 2 months in based on their current record

You best not be talking s*** about Olerud in this thread buddy or there's going to be trouble.

 

It's cool Olerud man, don't let the bitter Asian Box Gnome get to you. He's just jealous of how calm we are.

I think Boxcar is talking to CPH, who is projecting 88-74 after 2 months. I've been projecting 82-80 most of the time. I went through a phase where I projected weird things like 80.7-81.3 but people seemed to get a bit uptight about the decimal points, so in the spirit of calmness I stopped that.

 

My projection is: 82-80. There will be high and lows as we randomly walk about the .500 mark. Everybody needs to just calm down.

Damn you olerud and your infinite wisdom! Stop bringing me back down. If we sweep Oakland I'll be in the clouds.

I'm not projecting anything, I was following up on your projections which are essentially meaningless. My post addresses the fact that extreme negativity still exists on this forum about the Jays chances, even while they are looking every bit the role of a contender now. Someone reading this forum might decide that anything less then a complete rebuild immediately is sheer folly, or that last place is a lock for the Jays still.

 

At some point people have to follow the team with an open mind.

[Cooler Heads Prevail]

He probably didn't follow the Jays from 1984-1993, when they ended up contending almost every year no matter how the season started. Worst season was when they were 4.5 games up on Detroit with 7 games left and didn't get first place. Young people on this forum would die for that kind of season. Or when they were playing KC in the playoffs up 3-1 in games against a team that only made the playoffs because of their very weak division.

 

In 1991, the basic story on the Jays was they were a decent team but chokers that would never win a World Series. That label was no more relevant then today's label that they'll never make playoffs because of the last 20 years.

[Cooler Heads Prevail]

Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to calm down.

 

91 win pace, stay calm.

[Ash70]

Just enjoying the ride.

For too many years to mention, the season has been more or less over, at this point.

 

One game at a time, Sweet Blue Jays.

[Smedley Butler]

Ahhh, meaningful games in May. What a refreshing change.

 

Calm level maintenance is becoming progressively more difficult with each win, however. Trouble's a-brewin'.

[Olerud363]

Just because I am calm doesn't mean I can't ask the difficult questions...

 

Is R.A. Dickey even better then he was in 2012?

Is Dustin McGowan the next great setup man like Duane Ward?

Can Josh Thole beat John Olerud's .363? (He's at .360 right now!)

If yes should we DH him so he gets enough PAs to win the batting title?

Was Old Skool a.k.a CPH right about everything all along?

[G-Snarls]

5 game win streaks against teams like Boston and Oakland make me supremely calm

15-5 in the last 20. This team is on fire.

[G-Snarls]

It's awesome. Obviously won't last but keep it going as long as you can, get some distance from the division so that the next (hopefully short) slump is more manageable.

Exactly. I would like to see this team get to 10 games over .500 as the first goal within the next week or two.

Holy s***..........dude, are we ALLOWED to be 10 games over? I mean......like, s***.......!?!?

 

-uncalm status achieved-

[theblujay]

All I want is meaningful games through July

[Olerud363]

All I want is meaningful games through July

 

Today's questions

 

Is J.A Happ the next Jamie Moyer??

Will Gose/Pillar surpass Mullinucks/Iorg as the greatest Jays platoon of all time??

 

Today's bold prediction

 

There will be no meaningful games in July because the Jays will be too far ahead.

 

I don't know if I am calm anymore.
