If this is true and was the strategy.. then well played. But until then all we are doing is winning the waiting game.

Baker, Drew and Ubaldo.. get it done AA.. I wish.

Reyes, Melky, Bautista, Edwin, Lind, Lawrie, Rasmus, Drew, Navarro Looks much more appealing

"Other teams in the mix... New York and Boston" What are our odds?

That is what I was thinking. Bring on the goalie style pitcher mask haha

http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/mlb-approves-protective-cap-for-pitchers/ Something doesn't seem right.. well done sportsnet.

It's about time, now I wonder how many will actually wear one.

Connor Brown with another 4 point night 47GP.. 35G, 63A - 98 Points Crazy season.

I enjoyed it last season, made games a bit more interesting to watch.. especially after we were out of things.

Another interesting idea. I'll take a poll to see if people prefer playoffs or split the season into 2 sets, which you prefer?

I know that if we were to do double points, I'd have to post it well before so everyone will know.. not sure if it is worth making a pre-arranged bonus day schedule and post it, or just do it randomly throughout the season.

Possible bonus days - Pick 2 players - Pick an opponent player as well - Pick which pitcher will give up the most home runs that week - Guess how many home runs that day If anyone has some more ideas post them.

That's what I was thinking.. the playoffs last season were more than dull, they were brutal lol.

That's a good idea

Done. Not sure how playoffs will work this year.. last season was pretty dull when it comes down to a few people. Maybe it's just better to divide the season into 2 sets, there would be winners for each half and then overall.

Most likely, but I'm not having a "no home run" option this year.

2014 WINNER - LETTHEBALLFLY http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t538/BlueJays20131/hr2_zps4bac6d4f.png Standings -> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApDzFSM6T0mMdFpnd3JNYjNiM2RLRlI0ODlPS0JuT0E&usp=sharing Since there was pretty good participation last year I decided to host this contest again this year. I'm posting this early so that everyone has a chance to find out about it before the season starts... and because nothing else is happening. For those who are new, this is just a simple/fun contest that makes each game a bit more interesting to watch. All you need to do is pick a player you think will hit a home run during each game. It's fine if you don't pick every game, and you can join in at any time during the season. To make things more interesting, all home runs will count this season and not just the first one. There is however, a small bonus for picking the first home run each game. To make sure that people don't just pick the same person the entire season, you can only pick the same player 4 times each week. I will try my best to keep things updated and may ask for help if I'm away for a long period of time. Hopefully there is a lot of participation again this year and some good competition. Good luck everyone! Congrats again to angrioter on finishing first last season and bowld for coming in 2nd place. http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t538/BlueJays20131/point_zps1b34688f.png Bautista - 1 Point Edwin - 1 Point Rasmus - 2 Points Francisco - 2 Points Melky - 2 Points Lawrie - 3 Points Lind - 4 Points Reyes - 4 Points Navarro - 4 Points Reimold- 5 Points Johnson- 7 Points Tolleson - 7 Points Glenn - 7 Points Pillar - 8 Points Gose - 9 Points Diaz - 8 Points Gillespie - 8 Points Goins - 9 Points Mastroianni - 9 Points Kawasaki - 9 Points Thole - 9 Points The Bench - 10 Points ** Read the thread for updated point values before each game. http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t538/BlueJays20131/bp_zpsd7a7ffa2.png http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t538/BlueJays20131/rules_zps4ccf26b1.png Pick a player on the Jay's starting lineup that you think will hit a home run at ANY TIME during each game. You can only pick the same player 4 times during each week (Monday-Sunday) If you pick a correct player you will earn the corresponding points. Players less likely to hit a home run will be worth more points than those more likely to knock one out. Point values will change daily depending on hot and cold streaks, and will be posted before each game. You can only pick one player and you must have your pick in before the first Blue Jays at bat. *Weekend games will be "bonus days" (pick two players, pick players from other team etc.) Schedule in 2nd thread post You may post your pick before the daily lineups are posted if you will not be online before the game starts. If you are going away, you can PM Dylan your picks for the upcoming games (Max 5 games) Streaks will get you bonus points. Streaks must be in consecutive games, if you miss a game your streak is over. *The season will be divided into two sets at June 9th, 2014, playoff information is posted below. If you have any questions post them here or PM me. http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t538/BlueJays20131/pf_zps59cbc4c6.png Season divided into 2 sets First Half: March 31st-June 8th.

Everything sucks

"The San Jose Sharks have agreed to three-year contract extensions with top forwards Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. LeBrun reports Thornton's deal carries an average annual value of $6.75 million while Marleau's is worth $6.66 million per season. " Excellent job Sharks.

Thoughts of the stars posting a picture of Bieber and Ford with "Leafs Fan" during the beating last night. Funny, Fun Rivalry or Classless? http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/justin-bieber-rob-ford-dallas-stars-mock-toronto-maple-leafs-jumbotron/ Personally I think it's pretty classless when your're already destroying the team.. you would never see that at the ACC.. (pictures or a 7-1 win ) Not that big of a deal though

Beat the Jets and the road trip is still a great success.

Game over lol

We can both agree that Orr is useless?
