no, you're saying he's a bad CF and should be moved. I'm not making that leap. it's only 5 games and I dont know what is wrong, just that he is not looking right so far.

 

not me

 

 

 

You see Ellsbury make a sliding catch in a little bloop while our guys run in circles around routine fly balls.

 

Rasmus is usually good, but having not so great a game

[Angrioter]

Maybe Eating Talisman All Loser Luongo It Junior Aybar Yodeling?

 

He mock my anti-metallijay test.

[fatcowxlive]

I still can't believe this is a 140m team.

 

Well it's really not when 2 players make up nearly a third of that (my math could be off here)

[G-Snarls]

He mock my anti-metallijay test.

 

Me too. Well, skirted around it really.

[G-Snarls]

He mock my anti-metallijay test.

 

To be fair, our testing isn't 100% perfect. LOL

[jays_fever]

I've got an English degree with honours that suggests otherwise. But thanks.

 

Pretty sure no english major would ever start a sentence with " I've got" and have "but thanks" as it's own sentence

[JFD]

I don't follow the NBA much but I just took a glance at the standings and it's like bizarro world. nice to see the Lakers suck for a change. maybe ill start watching the Raps again.

Buehrle's contract doesn't bother me. he eats so many innings with solid number 3 goods that it's fine. Reyes is the one that blows because he's hasn't been healthy.

Trust me, it'll be worth your while. They're so damn entertaining.

Lakers = Blue Jays and Phillies of the NBA

I think Buehrle's a bit overpayed for a #3 at his age, but he's doing his job. We know what we get with him, and if anything we've gotten more.

 

Reyes on the other hand..... we trade a shortstop who's as good and is making a fraction of his salary. Reyes isn't useful when he's in the DL.

 

Regardless what I was trying to say is that I don't see this team as a $140m team, but more like a $106m team with 2 overpayed players. Makes it more understandable why we're only reaching .500 but then again, $100m for a .500 team is a bit much too lol

[G-Snarls]

Anyone know what's been happening with the board the last few days? Why the major lag?

 

Are you new here?

[fatcowxlive]

Lakers = Blue Jays and Phillies of the NBA

 

Jays are more like the Heat after their whole 'The Big 3' marketing push, but flopping instead of doing well lol

[Grant77]

Protip: Bragging about degrees on this board is going to make people dislike you really really quickly because of another member who did that.

 

You'll make it to university in a few years, young grasshopper. Don't hate.

this has always been a pet peeve of mine but I see people do it all the time. really smart people. I guess it's just a bad habbit for some people.

if Dickey doesn't figure how to not give up a s*** load of runs, the jays have only 2 starters that we can count on and an offense that will not be able to overcome that.

 

they have a bunch of money tied up in Happ and Romero that isn't doing any good as well

Why settle when I could reach for the stars and be working in Wendy's instead?

[o2cui2i]

you've obviously never played. lol

ECRF name change coming?

[ElNik2013]

On another note, that play Goins made was pretty great.

Every play Goins made was super great!

Perhaps not, but they would know when to apostrophise its

[Dylan]

Damn we lost

[Cooler Heads Prevail]

Streaks are just random variation. Just because he's hit so far doesn't mean he'll stay "hot". We have three replacement level options, doesn't matter which play.

 

Oh man you really are clueless sometimes. Anyone who plays ball knows hitting is streaky and there is nothing random about it.

At least you increase your chance of tagging this if you make this decision:

God I LOVE HER

[Convo]

Did I read some people thought this game was boring? Couldn't disagree more. Though it was pretty miserable to lose the opener like this. That reversed call in the third was really the nail in the coffin. The offense hasn't looked good so far, too many of our runs are being scored by the the long-ball... I know we are a HR club, but we shouldn't depend on it entirely.

So McGowan was tipping his pitches quite obviously apparently.

I almost fell asleep in the stands. It took like 1.5 hours to play the first three innings. It was excruciating. The Diaz RBIs were the high point of the night.

That's true it was really long. But it started off really exciting in the first 1-2 innings. And then my friends and I were drinking, so we probably didn't notice the slowness of the game.

There was crazy guy in my section wearing a pig suit (yes a pig suit) trying to start the wave. It was the only thing that kept me from leaving early (as it was hilarious).
