2.5 back of the Yankees and 2 back of the Red Sox.

 

The playoffs will be easy to make.

[Laika]

So you're saying I shouldn't start him in the DDL today?

 

You might want to start him if you plan on punting all of your pitching ratios anyway

What's been the best team to miss the playoffs the last decade or so? If this years Jays don't make it they'd rank up there with anyone I think given both their lineup and pitching rotation are top tier.

Jinx

A jinx, in popular superstition and folklore, is a curse or the attribute of attracting bad or negative luck. The word "jynx" meaning the bird wryneck and sometimes a charm or spell has been in use in English since the seventeenth century. The modern spelling and connotations developed late in the nineteenth century.

Oh they are 100% making it. MLB will no doubt try to rig it to get that Yankees-Red Sox WC game but the Jays are too good to let it happen.

That's fugly.

[Laika]

It's so bad that it's good, though.

That's like someone being proud of winning an ugly dog contest.

The worst one is the Cubs' drip hat. It's a C that's dripping with white stuff. I'll let you guys make the implication.

That reminds me yesterday when I was looking at a new company coming in to challenge eBay and Amazon called Ethair. They had a signup security question thing you type in, and the text was "gh pussy". There's no way in hell that was random chance. I didn't sign up.

It’s a Splatt Hat.

Blue Jays reinstate Merryweather

It's happening folks. Would be great to get him into a low leverage situation first.

Mayza threw two days in a row and Romano warmed up one day and then pitched the next. Could see Pearson and Merryweather in big spots today.

[InvincibleTiger]

Cimber should also be available

[Terminator]

Cimber should also be available

 

Yeah and Richards who could be used in a big spot as well if necessary though I wouldn't normally use him in that way. My guess is Mayza, Soria and probably Romano aren't available.

 

That leaves Richards, Merryweather, Cimber, Pearson and Saucedo. Not sure how I would stack that group up. Probably like this:

 

CL: Cimber

SU: Pearson

SU: Merryweather

MR: Richards

LOOGY: Saucedo

I think I'd be fine with that regardless of whether it works or not.

It's LTOGY now.

Honestly I think everyone except maybe Mayza should be available with a lead. I'm a little more worried about the bullpen composition if a starter gets knocked out early. Our long man right now is Saucedo.

 

It's probably time to option Smith or DFA Valera for more flexibility. We have like three guys covering 3B and they all suck.

[Dick_Pole]

 

That hat is good though if you want to do something really unpopular without any consequences. People will already think you've been spat on with bubble gum or sprayed with pink paint so they'll leave you alone.

[Ryu In My House]

I would rather lose with those guys pitching than some s***** AAAA scrub.

[Terminator]

So when we win home field for the WC who would everyone prefer to face? The Red Sox or the Mariners?

[Bluebombers]

I think I prefer seattle

[InvincibleTiger]

Red Sox. Seems we have trouble versus M's

Sale could be tough, but our lineup would have a field day with the rest of Boston's awful, awful pitching staff.
