G-Snarls

Many wanted to see a middle infield of Hech (all glove, terrible bat) and Escobar (very good glove, so so bat) Reyes (excellent bat, acceptable glove) and Goins (excellent glove, marginal bat) doesn't seem too bad in comparison...

Goins with another highlight reel play I see. Wow.

I know none of us give a s***, but there just HAS to be a GDT. Doesn't there? Or would we send a "message" by our indifference if we don't put one up/. Maybe I'm overthinking this. Maybe I'll just watch football instead. Yeas, that's it. And do some work that's been sitting around. And hang out with my kids and get some xercise. I wish. I had to go to work today. But I went to the hospital lounge to have lunch and check the score. Have you guys exercised today? Should get on it. Sooner in the day is better than later. Cause exercising too late make sit hard to sleep and poor sleep can increase all sorts of heralth risks and just make you grouchy. Me? I'm not grouchy, in apretty goopd mood really. Thanks for asking. Hungry though. Only had a 6" from Subway and it's just not enough. But a footlong is too much bread. They should make a 9" sandwhich. I've said that 1000 times. I wish there were more choiuces near here like a taco place. Subway is a bit tired. Chpotle. Mmmm. Have they got those in Canada? Mostly living in Canada is good but those americans have great takeout. Problem is too big of servings. And french fries with everything. I hardly eat them, maybe like once a month and they have to be good. In my line of work I have to lead by a decent example cause I'll about preventing heart attacks. So don't smoke. That's just all bad and a waste of money. Why do people do it? It's disgusting. If you smoke, I'm not judging you, I just don't get it I guess. But stop. It's a waste of money and health. Get a new hobby. Like miniature trains or something. No, that's sort of immature. But online gambling is bad too. Try exercise and video games. That's what I do. There are lots of choices but those are good ones. So mnay god games, but a bit of a lull before the PS4 and XBOX ONE come out. That's a tough one, I've always been an XBOX guy but the PS4 just looks better. SHould I switch? Probably but there's a comfort level you know, sort of like with cell phones. Like I've had iPhones for years, but I sort of realy want an Andoid. Samsung Galaxy S4 is sweet, but I have a lot invested in Apple apps and chargers. Kind of scary to startert new but sort of exciting too. And I could use some excitement. I'm not getting any younger, and a lot of my friends are boring. Don't want to do s***. Come on guys, live a little. I go to Vegas every second year and one guy I always go with now wants to go somewhere else and I'm like why?!?!?! He's a bit older than me, 42 or 43 but come on you're not too old for Vegas. No one is. It's awesome. And we go at CES time so there's lots to see even is you don;t like gambling, booze and strip clubs. Maytbe that's the problem. He won't go to strip clubs. Don't ask me why. Anyway so he wants to go to Myrtle Baech for goilf, and I'm like that's cool, but I still want to go to Vegas every couple of years cause I love it. Great food there, hopy crap. Fatburger. Yeah I eat there. And I don't fele bad about it, cause it's so rare. ANyhow, mostly these guys wanrt to stay home and do yardwork and stuff. I'm like guys, we're not 60 years old or something. The lawn isns't THAT important. Have some fun. Take the kids somewhere. Let's go to a movie or something. Go kayaking on the river. Of course, the guys with no kids have more freedom but you'd never know it. "I'm so busy!" but those of us with 2-3 klids roll our eyes and think "whatever". You don't know what busy is. Try a job where you work 50-55 hours a week, and have little kids that you have to run everywhere and a property to take care of and wife who always needs stuff. Don't get me started on that. It's like everything is highest priority. Like, come on, some stuff can wait until Saturday. I'll get the important stuff done right away, but I want to take my son to practice basketball and then go for abike ride. After that I just want to watch the Jays even though they stink. Is that so much to ask? That other stuff can wait, OK? I guess I got off topic a bit. What was I talking about? GDT's. Hmmm, wonder is there's agame on today. Oh wait,m there is. How do I know this? Lots of ways but noticijng a game day thread on here sure helps. So lets' keep making them, even if they suck. OK? Thanks.

Of course not Lots of free agents Some will get QO I just listed a few that I'd like to see them negotiate with

We want the 2013 season one to be top 10 protected though in case we want to sign a free agent who received a qualifying offer. McCann Choo Beltran Garza All possible (though some unlikely) to be targeted

Dammit! Back in 12th place by reverse standings

Idiots. Honestly...

What we need is for 3-4 of these injury returning starters and prospect starters to get real good or at least look good to opposing GM's. Then we have trade chips.

What could we possibly give them to get CarGo and not wreck the team in the process?? We can only wish.

Winning record next year Book it

That's awesome, thanks

McGowan? Huh. Never would have thought but I have no idea really.

See my assumptions in post 1 I'm presuming, for the sake of this exercise, that Melky is healthier and gets the regular LF job

"Dead man walking" syndrome Nobody wants to say anything

Ideal game? Esmil Rogers is good but JPA and Sierra find a way to blow the game Jays lose and slip to 9th last place

I just improved on JP's

It's all about fun with nicknames now

Pretty much that I won't be watching Just had iPad in front me of me so made the GDT (Don't) enjoy

No idea what you guys are talking about... It says 2/3.

I'd say Ricky is much worse, but you're probably just assuming (and I agree) that he is not really a "risk". We've accepted that he's done, and that 7.5M x2 is a sunk cost.

And sends Happ out for three more starts!

Seattle plays STL DET and CAA, that's a bit tough Giants play LAD NYM and NYY that's no joke normally but if Yankees are eliminated by the last series (likely) they may throw in the towel, and the Dodgers may coast a bit since they've got the division wrapped up.

Depends on team schedules too of course. For us that's good because ours is brutal, most against good division rivals who are trying to get the WC spot. Hopefully (I haven't checked) at least a couple of those west teams have an easier go the rest of the way and are playing for pride.
