Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 You may not want to hear it, but this team is better setup to win playoff series vs the 2022 team. Yeah, we're in tough this year in the AL East but it's May. This past week does not define this team. Some on here are acting like it's their first year watching baseball. We're s*** right now, but it isn't going to last. Book it. Yeah its crazy. This place is a cesspool of reactionary idiots when the team goes on a losing streak.
TorontonianJD Verified Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Shapiro has done f*** all that has actually shown on the field. We spend a ton of money, have a crap system and are good at pretty much nothing on the dev side. He hired Atkins and he f***ed up in doing so. Re the system, Shapiro used to give subtle digs in the media about how the former FO emptied the farm so there was a need to build it back up. But what has he done in that regard? Nothing!

But what has he done in that regard? Nothing! In terms of the farm this is pretty much correct. The whole sustainable winner thing was obvious bs and i think AA would have been better at trades.
Omar Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2023 Author Posted May 20, 2023 Yeah its crazy. This place is a cesspool of reactionary idiots when the team goes on a losing streak. Thanks for volunteering to do the next gdt. This one was draining.
Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 I blocked him, it's either that or troll. No point. This s*** has become a shitshow in here. Since when, an hour ago

We're s*** right now, but it isn't going to last. Book it. Agreed, but they have to get there, which isn't happening with this offense. The calculated gamble on Kirk/Jansen and Varsho have been a super failure on offense
Steeljays Verified Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 JS needs to do something with the lineup. Varsho should not be cleanup. I would try KK leading off, springer Bo vlad belt chap varsho, C , whit
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Kind of glad I didn’t get to watch that game.
Jays333 Verified Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Lol this place really is hilarious. Theres like the 10-15 regulars who treat this like a fraternity or something constantly battling off the newcomers. Especially when they want to come and vent it becomes like an internet battle royale. All the regs can vent and be negative but everyone else its like you have to prove yourself or something to be part of this forum.

Dagagad Verified Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 The rules are that you must not criticize the front office but you can criticize the manager for the most dumb s*** ever. If you follow those rules you will be fine.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 You’re a realist. Some of us are more pessimistic and just use this place to vent. Just gotta ignore us. Or you can take the Spanky approach and launch personal attacks…which I find much more obnoxious than people venting. I may get down on this team, but I try to never get personal and call names. Calling players and the team names is personal, aren't we f***ing fans here??? Ya asshat.

All opinions should be welcome; but that doesn't mean there isn't going to be pushback. We're all (most of us?) Jays fans here. Even those who drag the team constantly.
max silver Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 God damn, you are dumb as hell. How am I the dumb one? I'm not the poster who is fixated on constantly praising the opposition. It has become readily apparent there is nary a peep from you when the team is playing well, but as soon as they hit a bit of a rough patch you are back with your broken record message to be repeated over and over and nauseam. You have such a one track mind it's astounding.

None of the thread police ever says s*** when some smoothbrain complains about bullpen usage for the 800 millionth time and then scurries off to start a new fire the manager thread. So, get off my back.
JFD Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Bring back pineapple hairdo's and spitz showers?

Dagagad Verified Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 What part did he say that isn't fact? Don't deflect that s***, bro. There’s a block function. If you have a problem with hearing a very true thing about our front office, then go ahead and block me. I just ignore the smootbrains complaining about bullpen management because when i said it was repetitive and stupid before i was told people can say whatever they want in the game threads. I look forward to you policing people complaining about the manager though when that starts heating up shortly.
Eat My Shatkins Verified Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Why do my sports teams hate me so much? Lol

That's because most of the "newcomers" never post anything positive and disappear when the Jays are rolling. They mostly only show up when they're losing and take a big dump all over the forum with their negativity.
Jays333 Verified Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Vent baby vent Just throw a 1-2 combination kockout on Spanky and you are good for life Ive been a long time reader cause there really is some very insightful baseball talk here. I have not posted much at all, just a bit here and there over the years. My history of posting is a mixed bag of positive and negative. I admittedly am more of a casual fan, I dont know the intricate numbers like some. I watch almost all the Bluejays games. I think last year I said that our bullpen is s*** or something like that and Spanky jumped down my throat, throwing personal insults, we got into a war of words a couple different times. I think he has me blocked now, but not sure. More recently I was s***ing on Biggio deservedly cause he f***ing sucks, and some guy told me to go suck a dick little bitch. haha. The thing I find incredibly petty about it is when people who are not part of the regulars fraternity come and start saying things they dont like it becomes like a competition as to who can dish out the most personal attacks. So I rarely post anymore.

Which part of your f***ing paragraph disagrees with my point? It shouldn't be that hard to understand why it gets tiresome for someone to constantly gush over the opposition. It's was annoying as f*** when Buck and Pat would constantly fawn over Derek Jeter. If you aren't an Oilers fan it gets old fast having a national NHL broadcast constantly drooling about how good Conner McDavid is. You are doing exactly the same thing.
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Bring back the HR jacket? It would only collect dust in the dugout.

So I rarely post anymore. Don’t let Spanky get to you. A couple of years ago he lost millions in a crypto scam so his wife left him. He’s been a crank ever since. And don’t worry about the Biggio Fanboys either. I doubt they have much to say these days so feel free to post whatever you’d like about him. Dude sucks.

Honestly, personal attacks should be against the board rules. They are on the Dallas Cowboys forum now. Fair
