Let's say the roles were reversed here and Zimmerman had been the one making the racist statement, would Martin have been indicted or would the same people condemning Zimmerman be saying he was defending himself against a racist assailant? I think the answer is obvious. I hope justice is served, but I also hope we reach the day when certain people pay a price for falsely accusing others of being racists.

Well, wasn't AA signed to a 5-year contract? If you analyze where they were prior to the trades, the organization needed this year to overcome the injuries to the starting rotation and also another year of development for guys like Syndergaard, Sanchez and Nicolino to possibly reach AA. Also for emerging guys like Nolin and the just drafted Stroman to reach AAA. In terms of position players, D'Arnaud needed probably half a season at AAA and Gose turns out needed the whole year there. The organization would've been better served to wait another year and then it would've been primed to make a push with talent reaching MLB and more talent at AAA & AA for depth or to trade and acquire established major leaguers since the values of guys like Nolin, Stroman, Syndergaard, Sanchez and Nicolino would be much higher being in the upper minors. Anyway, just saying that it seems to me that Beeston/Rogers didn't want to go through another rebuilding year given the disastrous 2nd half in 2012 and instead of risking striking out on FA, they overpaid with their farm system to make sure they got players.

I really hope Cabrera paid for 2 or 3 people there because if he ate all that food, his legs will not be able to carry him around let alone run.

Sell him to a GM that's high for 50M and sign the Cuban pitcher!!!

I thought about this as well since that's where Wayne Gretzky's son went to HS and was drafted out of in 2011 or 2012.

Gibbons said that since they're in last place, things can't get any worse so maybe he'll give them a shot in the arm.

Is it just me or is Deck McGuire striking out more hitters? I know he's struggled since the start of last season, but maybe he's on the weighted ball program or something.

Boy, that's ugly, at least it shouldn't be hard to improve on those numbers.

Sell high on Redmond I say.

Lol.

You mean like dive for groundballs? I would think he's still tentative because of the ankle and I can't really blame him, it'll take a bit of time for him to not worry about it.

In typical Blue Jays fashion, they'll lose tomorrow with JJ on the mound after winning with Redmond pitching today.

Our Wang looked pretty good for a couple of outings, then it went soft on us.

Ok, kidding about promoting him to Dunedin.

Norris: 4IP, 4H, 0ER, 0BB, 5K. Promote him to Dunedin.

We'll have to wait and see how much range he has at 2B. If he has really good range at 2B to both sides, it's probably better to have that up the middle plus his bat is looking iffy for a 3B.

Guess not yet

We may see O'Day vs Bautista rd 3

So the Blue Jays win when Redmond or Rogers pitch, but suck when the 3 new acquisitions pitch.

It's been awhile since Reyes drew a walk. So now Bautista with the GIDP.

It's been a bit off all season. Hopefully with he gets it going with more ab's

Watch them give up the lead right back.

I love it when I'm wrong like this!

So another long stretch without scoring. Baltimore will probably score a couple more and then the Blue Jays will make it close in the 9th just to mess with people thinking that they're close to turning it around.
