GDT - Twins @ Jays - Game 3

[King]

He made ~2 million before he was 30, and should qualify for a major league pension. I'm sure he's just fine with it.

money doesn't buy happiness

money doesn't buy happiness

 

yeah but it buys hookers and blow.

[Carlos Danger]

i have looked at all the stats: they all say he did not do very well

 

Dude, seriously, this is the issue I have with stats... This is not just directed at you, but you are the epitome of this... Did you ever actually watch a Jays game from 2013-2015 or did you just read about them on Fangraphs? Apart from the ball that fell in between him and JB in the ALCS, he was an excellent defensive player at 2b and SS. He really helped the pitching staff and in turn the team. He was not supposed to be starter, he was a utility back up. When the starter was hurt, which happened to be a lot, he came in and did a serviceable job as a back up utility IF and provided plus D.. He could lay down a bunt or make contact if required.

 

He was what he was.. No one is saying they think he was Roberto Alomar.. When he started deteriorating, we cut bait, as we should have... But he was good at what he was there to do...

[BlueRocky]

Eh.. Certainly doesn’t hurt

board cred is worth millions (something you will never have)

 

How much hookers and blow can I buy with board cred? Being in the guys who live in their mom's basement, buy tissues by bulk at Costco so they can wack off to the updated fWAR of their fantasy players "clique".. Or a multi-millionaire prior to 30, taking vacations on private jets with Tulo and the posse plus lot's of hookers and blow.. mmmmm?

[saskjayfan]

rally caps boys...get em on!

i'm just saying....if i was I had millions in my bank account, I'm buying a box for all the nerds including King to come for a bluejaysmessageboard meet on me. Unfortunately, I don't have the millions and I don't live in Toronto, but I'm riding the coat tails of my buddies IT company and if it pays off I'm coming to Toronto and getting a box for anyone who can come out.

You should join the LoD next time we have an opening.

I would too, honestly.. The US company I work for owns a big Canadian company that used to up until a year or two ago have a box at Rogers center. I could probably get it now of we still had it... If I ever have an opportunity I would invite all also... Everyone as long as space permited, King, Hurl, BTS, Spanky, Jim, even Bob4skin.

all my nemesis. I would buy you all some beers also...

my brother lives in Toronto. If i can ever convince my wife to go to Toronto, we'll go to a game and have some beers!

[Spanky99]

He played for us a lot longer than anyone here would have imagined. He was also a big time contributor in the 2015 run, nothing to be ashamed about.

 

Where's the Gauntlet???

[Spanky99]

Whoops...

[Spanky99]

We've been through this. Gift Ngoepe. 63 K% and a -60 wRC+

 

lol

He also banged the hottest girl who has ever taken the same program as you.

[5ToolPhenom]

Boys, I think this is gonna be a longgggggg year

[Deadpool]

I'm not sure who Biggio's agent is, but image if it was Scott Boras. You don't think he'd be screaming bloody murder that his client had a .500 OPB and slugging close to .600 with a big league club with 2 people hitting above league average and his client is not calling his client up. How do you think things would go next time you wanted to negotiate on one of his clients.

 

If Shatkins gives even the slightest whiff of a f*** what Biggio's agent thinks, they should absolutely be fired on the spot.

[geebaan]

If I have to keep watching Brito play I’m gonna tear my eyes out

[xposbrad]

Hard to imagine he's the only stop gap avail right now. There is no player in the entire world under 24 who the Jays can sign and test out? I guess not, since we keep using Brito.
