  1. That post was a mockery of theblujay. Thought it was obvious =S. Of course I don't want Sierra anywhere near this team.
  2. To be quite honest, I don't mind missing out on Rodon. I don't like the idea of taking any pitcher (outside Strasburg) that high, and there are some pretty nice looking bats in the middle part of the diamond like Gatewood, Jackson etc. who could bring just as much value to my team. The waiver draft is a bit more disappointing as I hoped to get at least top 3, but oh well. Question though, are waiver draft picks tradable too?
  3. Not sure if srs
  4. Yeah, because there's no chance that Sierra could possibly improve and become a solid regular. /s
  5. I'm not pissed, I shouldn't get everything handed to me just for finishing last. I'll deal with it.
  6. Right, because if you just sign the guy instead of letting him sign elsewhere first and then trading for him, you don't get to get rid of a whole bunch of prospects! Where's the fun in that?
  7. God, I know some seriously stupid people who have graduated from a university. Stop showing around your degree from wherever-the-f*** because, literally, no one cares outside of maybe that JSFIP guy. And short sighted? What's more short sighted, winning meaningless games for the sake of POSSIBLY paying free agents in the hopes of winning next year (spoiler, probably not happening) or getting a high, and protected draft pick in a pretty deep draft? Hurrrr, maybe you aren't stupid, but you sure lack common sense. Your false feeling of intellectual superiority is sickening. There are several guys on here that are far more educated than you, since you use that as a barometer for intellect, and they feel that winning is counter productive too. Reading books and regurgitating information verbatim doesn't mean you're smart. By the way, as you talk about a crap shoot or whatever, the Jays were literally one pick away from Austin Meadows. I know he's not Mike Trout, but he'll probably be a top prospect pretty soon. Disregarding prospect value is...what was it...?
  8. LOL HOW FUNNY IS IT PLEASE TeLL US
  9. Awesome idea. How about a team of Ryan Goins at second, Anthony Gose in CF, Andy Laroche at first and Jim Negrych manning short? I'd say we're practically home free for the WS title.
  10. Yup, and I want to dislike Morris even more because of this stupid HOF push but he's really been a pretty good announcer. He's old school but not really obnoxious about it.
  11. Hayhurst? He tries, at least.
  12. You mean Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy?
  13. I'm trying to figure out why I bother with people like you. Oh man, there is an actual sect of fans who think that Joe Carter is one of the best Jays ever. Christ, Roger Clemens put up a higher WAR in his two years with the Jays than Carter did during his entire career.
  14. In Canada, that probably equates to a car mechanic.
  15. Dioner Navarro has a 142 wRC+ this season as a backup-ish. Wonder if he'd come cheap, maybe he's having some kind of resurgence.
  16. "Steve Simmons had won this year’s Sport Media Canada award for sportswriting" Lol AYFKM? Do they just pick names out of a hat?
  17. "UHHH guyz I should have been something other than completely awful at the core aspects of my job. Whoops!" Seriously, you should have paid more attention to defense? Is this not obvious to your basic idiot fan? It's one of THREE areas you look at when building a team, how do you make a comment about overlooking it and just get a free pass? This is f***ing unreal. The guy could probably say "durr, I should have given their stats more than a cursory glance, but I don't use a computer and stats are for nerds. Next year though!!" and he'd get away with it because Rogers are happy that the team made money and don't really seem to care that there's idiots in charge of their property.
  18. How about just throwing away a premiere defender at short who could hit and was making only 5 million per season?
  19. Sure, but he made up for everything with his bat. It's too bad he was an ******* and did PEDs because players of his calibre come around once a century. His career should have been celebrated, and now he's the face of everything that's wrong with baseball.
  20. People in Toronto are not Bills fans by default. The Bills are NOT "Toronto's team" as much as Rogers tries to market them as such. NFL fans in Toronto are so varied, I have a buddy who is a die hard Lions fan, another that loves the Jets, another that loves the Packers, etc. That's how it is here, and giving us Bills games with expensive seating to watch two bad teams that people in the city probably don't care much about, then having the players for the "home team" speaking out about how much they hate having to come up here to play a game it's easy to see why they don't draw well. It in no way indicates the level of support the Toronto xxxxx's would receive.
  21. Yes, this is now political...somehow. 1. Who cares, 2. If people like them, why are they last in attendance despite being located in the largest city in Canada, and 3. Sure, if being on the verge of bankruptcy all the time is viable business http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=c718a42f-d7c3-4a76-84e1-06820b6dc363 I don't care, and the Jays don't rely on loans to operate. The comparison is irrelevant since the Jays make money while the Argos don't. Exactly the same. You're right. You are one huge idiot if you think these things. First, the NFL likes to make nice with the CFL and yes, the Argos are a MAJOR factor as to why the NFL won't be in Toronto anytime soon. Second, the Bills have little to do with this. Third, are you f***ing high? Of course the CFL won't be viable once Toronto gets a team...not like it's viable now anyway. Comparing the Leafs with the Marlies? Really? Are you aware that the Marlies are the Leafs' farm team and the Argos would continue to be a s***** team filled with cast offs and substitute teachers, with absolutely no connection to the Toronto NFL team? Since, somehow, you brought up politics for some reason, I'm going to guess that you're an angry old fart, probably libertarian. You types love playing politics, especially when the situation doesn't warrant it.
  22. http://twelvemenonthefield.blogspot.ca/2013/07/cfl-attendance-tracker-2013.html It's pretty evident that most people in Toronto don't give two shits about the Argos and would rather have an NFL team. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's a fact. Also, I don't care about the MLS or Toronto FC, even though it is hilariously silly to call them a football club in a country that calls the sport soccer, because they aren't blocking anything else. They have their own facility and it's not like there's a semi-decent league waiting to swoop in. Try to unwad your panties there, champ.
  23. I think it's a much bigger shame that they insist on keeping a CFL team in Toronto.
