Ryan Goins.

Ryan Goins.

 

And?

[o2cui2i]

And?

 

can't deny that Goins has gotten much better with the stick. He'd be my pick over Travis for 2nd base right now even if Travis was to get healthy before next thursday.

No way, Travis in a millisecond, anyhow that's moot, Goins has stepped in admirably. I'd much rather Travis though.

I don't necessarily agree with that but I do think it's a defensible position to take despite the crap you're taking.

I get the angle, time off, ab's, etc, but I'd snap Travis up before Goins, same as Tulo.

Next Thursday? For sure you would go with Goins. Next year, no.

If he were ready to take hacks tomorrow and the rest of the season, no question about it.

[STLJaysFan]

I've been a Blue Jays fan since the first game I went to in Kansas City in 1999, and I've always been a Mark Buehrle fan since he's from my hometown here in Missouri. So he would be my favourite player on the team and it would be really neat if he could get to 200 innings this year. But, it looks like his start has been pushed to Saturday so he'd basically have to throw a complete game since I wouldn't think he'd be able to come back out of the bullpen the very next day, but who knows...This is Cardinals country obviously where I live and my brother and I are the only Blue Jays fans that I know of in the area and we're both still in shock that they've clinched the division. All my friends are Cardinals fans and I told them that we'll see them in the World Series and they think the Cardinals pitching can actually shut down the Blue Jays offense. I just laughed. Yeah Rosenthal, just keep throwing those fastballs, the Jays would do what the Brewers did to him over the weekend!!! Edited October 1, 2015 by STLJaysFan

I don't think they understand that he had a 132 wRC+. That's 32 % better then league average.

I guess lumber doesn't matter... Travis' D is under-rated on here as well.

[STLJaysFan]

If you guys think Baltimore is not safe, st Louis is much worse. I live less than 30 minutes from Ferguson and we just had fans get shot while leaving the Cardinals game here the other day. Another day in the city. If Toronto fans came here for the world series, you'd want to take a taxi wherever you went. No walking the downtown streets. I've been to Jane and Finch. That's nothing compared to some of the areas of st Louis. Just don't be like Kevin Stevens and take a taxi over to east st Louis. That didn't work out too well for him!!!

Now this comment is odd, have you chilled in the hood of each city? Or are you a bot?

Just experience from living in st louis for 34 years and following the news everyday and driving through the rough areas of town while on my delivery job. St Louis has always had a reputation of being a dangerous city. Even depicted in some movies like National Lampoon's vacation and planes trains and automobiles. I've been to Toronto many times and even lived there for 8 months and I walked the streets at all hours of the night and never felt like I was in danger. And I even walked from York University where I was living to downtown and back in the dead of winter and never felt scared. 25 miles round trip!

You are absolutely right. Toronto is a safe city.

Were you wearing hot shots?

[STLJaysFan]

The only time I kinda felt unsafe was when I was on King street west of immediate downtown at about 4 in the morning and I was looking to buy beer off of someone in the street and this hippie lookin guy on a bike who was acting like he was on acid tried to help me out and took me to this shady neighborhood where I saw this guy charging down the sidewalk with a big piece of wood in his hand and grunting to himself like he was getting ready to beat the s*** out of someone and I changed my mind about the beer and took off back towards the east to the nearest taxi with " bike guy" on my tail!!

For the most part, yes.

Good one, very funny. Toronto must be the safest city in the world if someone can hang out downtown and try to buy beer off strangers at 4 am in the morning.

 

I wonder if the Cardinals will get past the first round of the playoffs?

You fellas are misguided.

Not sure what those are. I was just wearing a winter coat, hat and gloves. It was a cold son of a bitch. I had to stop at 24 hour coffee shops every few blocks to warm up. 4 hours down and 4 hours back. I just wanted to see if I could do it. The CN Tower looked SO close from my university apartment window but it was like 12 miles away. I'm nuts I know!! I don't know how the homeless people do it in the winter time. They must be used to it. I remember the dome was open for a September game against the Yankees and I was up in the 500 section behind home plate and was wearing shorts and I got so cold after the sun went down I had to leave before the game ended. And they were playing the YANKEES and I left. What a puss I am!! But this was 2003 when the Jays were already out of it and Josh Beckett would eventually shut down the pinstripes in the world series

It was safe because it was freezing f***ing cold out. That's the hood's offseason. Hot shots, just google it, lol. That's a wee bit crazy mate, just saying. Thank God for 24 hr coffee shops.

[STLJaysFan]

I felt more unsafe walking to Pacific coliseum in Vancouver and having to walk on Hastings street which I was told by locals was dangerous. There were people staring at me when I walked by and offering me "stuff". Also seeing a guy on rollerblades in downtown smoking a joint in broad daylight caught me off guard but I'm from the uptight Midwest, but getting back to baseball, Hutchison pitching on the road in the afternoon after a night out partying....ahhhhhhhhhhh! I won't be able to sleep now thinking about that! Maybe the Jays should wear their road grays for once, change it up. Hopefully they don't wear their alternate blue jerseys for every road game in the playoffs, but I bet they do. I'm kinda tired of seeing them. The starting pitcher gets to decide so maybe Drew should pick the grays to change his luck. Tulowitzki and Price haven't even worn the road grays yet. Reminds me of Matt Clement ALWAYS wearing the Cubs blue jersey when he pitched cuz he didn't like how the other jerseys felt on his body

[500LevelSTH]

f*** fear

[STLJaysFan]

Maybe the Blue Jays should fly Tim Johnson into Baltimore for Drew's start so he can tell him some of his "Vietnam" stories so he'll be more motivated to pitch better!!

[KingKat]

Was Carter the DH? I think that's what she's referring to. But Edwin is miles better than Carter ever was, which is another reason why the sign is awful.

 

Carter played one or two games at 1B in Atlanta and other that was strictly an OF until 1996.

[Governator]

Pretty sure the Jays woke up and said fawwwwk we got to play in a couple hours.
