Blue Jays GM Candidates [Tinnish? Peter Brand?]

[Atothe]

I always picture a high school freshman, who tries so hard to impress the seniors, by saying the same things they do. It's amusing... but yeah, he's "mature" and stuff.

 

He's a smart kid, just because he's well liked doesn't mean he's trying hard.

[A0FF]

How many 16-17 year olds do you know? He's legitimately bright and insightful, and not just for someone his age.

Not sure if serious?

 

Yep I was... does that make dumn?

AL East CHAMPS! I never expected this day to actually come with Rogers and AA in charge, but I've never been happier to be wrong.

Sept 30th 2015

 

It's easy to connect with other GMs when you're always willing to bend over and trade your whole team for their trash.

 

I'll give AA props for the Wells trade and the JD trade. But let's be real: the Napoli, Marlins and Mets trades were abysmal. In the wake of Price's playoff meltdown and his probable exit in free agency, that trade isn't looking so hot either. More often than not, AA was the sucker that allowed the rest of the league to swindle him out of all our prospects.

 

Look at your first comment on Sept 30th and then your next 2 from yesterday. We don't become AL East champs without the deals AA made. You cant have your cake then and eat it too now after the fact. It was a gamble and we came within 2 Ws of the WS.

If this team hires a guy named Thad to be GM I'm giving up forever.

[Dr Negative]

Get Kim Ng, the lack of female executives clearly makes this a big market inefficiency.

Reynolds is 10000000-1 to be GM in the Shapiro regeme... after Shapiro is driven out of town by Bob Elliot and Richard Griffin, Reynolds is 3-1 to be president in 2018. 2018, swing at first pitch, be relentless, hug an intern.

surprised they do this. Watch it get taken off the board because of a whole bunch of money gets put on 1 guy.

Apparently you aren't good at math. There's so much margin built into these odds they can't lose. Their ass is basically covered over 4 names and the rest is profit. If a whole bunch of money gets put on one guy they'll just adjust odds to make others more desirable to spread their risk.

[AdamLindsMom]

never bet props in general but especially with Sports Interaction or Bodog. The odds are waaaaaaayyyy in the books favour but people don't understand that when there's more than 2 options on the board.

Well of course, anyone who gambles a bit knows prop betting is generally terrible. It gives a nice picture of the potential candidates though.

What? If something leaks and people put heavy money on one name they could definitely lose out if they don't adjust the odds or take the bet down in time.

I put $30 yesterday on Gibbons to not be fired by the Jays at +650. Odds are down to +350 right now. This was done on sportsinteraction.com.

Those seem like really insane odds...

[AdamLindsMom]

ya no way he[s getting fired after the public backlash of this f***fest

[Trouba95]

Not to stir anything up but Fatcow >>>>> GD. Never been much of a fan of GD.

[Effit]

Never been much of a fan of GD.

 

I'm sure the feeling is more than mutual.

[Olerud363]

Correct answer is why is this guy randomly asking about my age when I have him IL'd

 

Follow up answer is L54 banged his math teacher ripppp

 

?? Is this true. Why is it mentioned so much?? It makes me think the following happened

 

Trouba - "I don't have a girlfirend, I'm going to fail the math test, Girls don't like me, *******s are beating the crap out of me everyday, and the girls like the *******s, and the Blue Jays are going to lose, and I'm going to fail the math test, and girls hate me, and..."

 

Pretty young math teacher - "Don't worry trouba, you're a sensitive soul, and it will all be OK, you'll pass the test, the Blue Jays will win the world series, a girl will kiss you soon enough, it will all come true, you can trust me, why if I was 10 years younger I'd love to have a boyfriend like you, I hate *******s"

 

L54 comes along, beats the crap out of trouba -- "by the way trouba, I f***ed that math teacher, she's full of s***, start lookin towards the fat girls, cuz pretty girls like your math teacher are out of your league!"

[KingKat]

The real rivalry is GD vs. King.

 

Not really a contest.

[BTS]

Fatcow and GD are a few years apart. The real rivalry is GD vs. King.

 

o2 > GD > King > North IMHO

[Trouba95]

Fatcow > King > GD

No but this actually happened irl.

 

Not really a contest.

 

Loser's attitude right here

[TheHurl]

SportsInteraction has bet limits set pretty low.

[TheHurl]

How many 16-17 year olds do you know?

 

Why do I keep getting asked this question?

[GD]

Compare Fatcow's fantasy teams to mine and I think you'll find it's quite obvious who's smarter, better looking, funnier, and all around more Jewish

[Spoonovic]

Those seem like really insane odds...

 

I couldn’t believe it. They opened the “Yes Gibbons will be fired” odds at -1100 now its at -525.

[TheHurl]

Fatcow and GD are a few years apart. The real rivalry is GD vs. King.

 

GD wins based on geography alone.

Your rivalry is supposed to be King. Leave the Arab vs. Jew fights to those with a much lower intellect (Militia and politicians)

OT: never understood that "arab vs jew" expression. I mean, one is an ethnic group and the other is a religious group. An arab can be a jew, no?

 

End of OT comment lol.
