CJ-Freeway Old-Timey Member Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 agreed. Guess I'll stop watching and look forward to NFL season. NFL? f*** this bro, it's all about the Argos and the Alouettes! Ok just joking. f*** the CFL and f*** Rogers again for this "we can't take on any salary" ********.
jayswin11 Verified Member Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Wonder if Dan UGGLA is headed to Toronto?
jaysfan2014 Old-Timey Member Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 O's and Mariners lost. Now we need wins tomorrow and Sunday against the weaker part of the Rangers rotation, Colby Lewis and Nick Tepesch. Both of them are HUGE dropoffs from Yu Darvish. We have Stroman and Buehrle going, and both probably have a good chance of beating the Rangers.
jaysfan2014 Old-Timey Member Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Wonder if Dan UGGLA is headed to Toronto? No, no and no. No team will touch Uggla.
BigCecil Old-Timey Member Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 The real issue is not that they can't take on salary now. It's that they f***ing overpaid for a bunch of mediocre players (Buehrle $19M, Reyes $22M, Dickey $12M) and now they're spent for the next 3 or so years. Reyes deal is AWFUL! Mark B is ok if he pitches like 2014 thus far. RA was a prospect overpay but his salary is at or under market $ wise after 2013 FA year SP signings when you look at Arroyo, Jiminez, Garza and Santana. I would take Henderson Alvarez production over Mark B any day when he is at $500k, even though his ERA would jump some in AL.

jaysfan2014 Old-Timey Member Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Looks like another shakeup in the Jays lineup: Blue Jays-Official @BlueJays 1h Today's @BlueJays lineup: Reyes-SS Kawasaki-2B Cabrera-LF Bautista-DH Navarro-C Rasmus-CF Johnson-1B Francisco-3B Gose-RF Why the heck was Navarro batting cleanup anyway? And Johnson should've been lower in the order anyway.

I always found it fishy that a GM, whose only redeeming quality MAY be negotiating contracts, would take on such huge contracts in one trade, including a contract (Reyes's) that resembles Wells's. Anyway, what's done is done. Hopefully, they go on another 9-gamer soon.

The Yankees took Soriano's bad contract last year and ended up having to release him recently. And we all know someone eventually is going to take one of the bad contracts of the Dodgers outfielders, all of which are significantly overpaid for their talent. And don't get me started on the Atlanta Braves(Uggla, the Upton bros.)
sh3156 Verified Member Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 If we lose today, and go back to .500, I think its time to throw in the towel,

And don't get me started on the Atlanta Braves(Uggla, the Upton bros.) The Cubs are paying a good chunk of Soriano's contract, but nice try. No one has bailed out the Dodgers yet, we'll talk if/when it does happen and if it does happen, I suspect the Dodgers will have to send a good chunk of $ to the other team and not expect much in terms of prospects in return. I never mentioned the Braves, but yes, Uggla's deal was bad, but at least they didn't give up any prospects to get B.J. Upton. By the way, how's High85 doing?
