Shocked he through it over the plate to him.

Let him finish the inning.

3-0 Odor still at 5% chance to walk.

Who said that Beltre was the best 37 year old ever. Bonds put up 41 fWAR from 37 on.

groundballs up the middle, throw to 2nd, then to 1st. Hope this helps

This is why Gibby is managing and none of us are.

With a lead he always gets someone up at 85 pitches. I think Sanchez is around 77

Price was great out of the Pen too. It's a joke man. Does no one get sarcasm. I'm never going to judge someone on 4 innings. Not to mention I'd happily start Kershaw, Price and certainly Clemens on my team in a playoff game anytime.

Kershaw, Clemens (non World Series) Price...Sanchez. Can't pitch in the playoffs.

Tough lady! Start ignoring this s*** and enjoy the game. I'm pretty sure I've never banned you...don't make me start now.

JD should have made a play on that. Thrown out EE at first...Texas seems to need some help getting outs. I love that Barnette's hero is Eck.

no advertising or fighting with Spanky please.

Has anyone declared this one over...cause if not I'm here to do so.

Expect longer than normal beer lines. All can's of beer will be poured into a cup as per the Jays letter to ticket holders. Also dome will be closed of course.

ask your Dad if he'll have dinner during an Italian World Cup final (I know it's just a made up thing that will never happen again but tell him to pretend). Say it's like that for you. Although likely the pressure isn't coming from Dad.

too late.

1. it would be libelous 2. I take it back, Grant does not have an approved line of Foil Helmets 3. The BJMB executive will be working on a non-approved Grant foil helmet line for sale via this board. KK's submission http://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/picture/realadam/tin3.jpg

I'll also add in that every other Ad during Jays games is from other Rogers products so the Jays ad revenue will always be understated in that way (and that is why the Jays have an effect on the Wireless)

I once swapped fluids with a girl to Boston's More than a Feeling. Does that count?

That foil helmet amazes me, it picks up just the mention of your name on here.

Awful broadcaster yes. Anti-Jays nope. He's a negative guy, especially about hitters and manager decisions. It's just in your minds. Go read every team's fans comments about him. With the exception of the Red Sox, they all think he's anti-their team (including Texas this series. Stop putting on your Grant Approved tin foil helmets people there is no media conspiracy against the Jays.

Do profits increase that much though? It's been shown that Jays fans as much as any in baseball have this expectation that spending never stop increasing. Yet if it's unsuccessful they will desert the team quite quickly. The good news is that every successful season buys another successful season now as they are forcing season ticket holders into renewing earlier and earlier every year. The documents are out there, the media division has grown thanks in big part to the Jays but the numbers are incredibly overstated here. 2012 Revenue 1.62B -----> 2015 Revenue 2.079B (for note 2014 1.826B) 2012 Total Operating Profit 190M ------> 2015 Total Operating Profit 172M (2014 131M) Important Notes from last years final quarter. Operating revenue The 3% increase in operating revenue this quarter was a result of: • higher subscription and advertising revenue generated by our Sportsnet properties; and • higher Toronto Blue Jays game day and merchandise revenue as a result of the postseason; partially offset by • continued softness in conventional broadcast TV and print advertising; So overall the Jays increased gate and merchandise revenue (which is also part of sharing though) but no one wants to advertise on anything but Blue Jays broadcasts (robbing Peter to pay Paul). The real value to the Jays is the effect it has on Rogers is the paper Value of the team keeps increasing and it's been shown that better Jays ratings has an effect on Wireless and Cable (and more importantly the 2012 report that said the Jays fans frustrations with Rogers was hurting their Cable and Wireless bottom line). I'd like to note that there are some bad Media decisions which take place (anything to do with Print mostly) which have cost the bottom line over these years.

Wok is going to get some when the spouse gets home.

I'm torn in this series. There are bunch of players I like on both teams. Manager wise there is one I can't stand and one I like. Front Office wise I think that Rizzo is a piece of trash AA clone. Friedman is still my hero, but in no way do I want to see AA win anything. Torn I tell you.
