Another option might be to try a proxy server. Here is one http://www.hidemyass.com When that site opens type in your URL (http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com) and click on the "Hide MyAss!" button.

OK. I have faith in "Admin" for a solution. Stay strong.

Maybe it is something they do to get themselves involved in the game cuz most of the times booing seems spur on the player rather than the reverse. Anyway, this is the first time I have seen it affect someone to the extent he showed in the dugout after the play. I think his feelings were really hurt cuz in his mind he never did anything consciously to hurt the team while he was here and he felt comfortable being with the Jays. To get this sort of reaction from Toronto fans must have been a real eye-opener for him. Anyway, he has to come to grips with booing and not let it affect him to that extent. If he cannot do that he must learn to at least hide those emotions from the crowd cuz most likely it will only intensify especially when fans become aware of it.

Does that still happen after you use the "TinyURL" site at http://tinyurl.com? In the "Enter a long url to make tiny" type in "http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/" without the quotation marks. For the Custom alias you can type in anything you want (e.g. bjmb-2013) After it creates the tiny url just use the newly created url to see if it gets you there and let me know whether the same thing happened or not.

Just saw this clip of Manny and found it amusing: http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/manny-ramirez-moonwalks-michael-jackson-losing-balance-taiwan-152619317.html

Has anyone tried using the tiny url site? It may bypass the firewall filter. I don't have that issue at work so I cannot test it.

Well you can create any combination of letters and/or numbers you wish if you go to tiny url and paste in the url for the new jays board. That will now become the link you will click on to get to the forum. Still not sure if the firewall will see through this. As an aside, I got a private notification popping up cuz of my settings so now anytime someone quotes my post I will be able to respond without having to read everything.

I dont have this problem at work so I cannot test this idea - Can a tiny url get around something like this? http://tinyurl.com/bj-new-frm

Maybe the "BBCode List - Toronto Blue Jays Message Board" can be helpful to some on here. Scroll down to the "Tweet" section: http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#tweetcode Incorrect BB Code Usage: http:// www.example.com - don't put spaces between the bracketed code and the text you are applying the code to. myname@domain.com - the end brackets must include a forward slash ()

I think he would look very moronic if he did anything that. IMO

It seems as if something strange was added to the the team's breakfast.

He is attacking the hitters and not trying to play cat and mouse games with them.

Appears as if they are not mentally prepared for games. They are most probably just taking it as another baseball game rather than treating each game as if it is of utmost importance. The players' mindset does not come across as winners at all.

Seems like these guys just don't have their heads on the game. Wasted opportunity.

I know they are trying to get the bats of all 3 of Encarnacion, Lind, and Cabrera in the line up at the same time but he is hurting the team in LF right now. He needs to rest till he heals in my opinion.

That's putting it mildly. I find it hard to believe that the team is down by a run with one out and something like this is allowed to happen. I wonder how much that half of a step would make in advancing.

True. 68 runs in last 10 games RS 68 - RA 48 - good going

April 18th-20th 2000 against ANA 10-16, 12-4, 12-11

Not sure if this was posted before however I just came across it - Guess the bad umpire decisions kinda forced this eh? MLB hoping for large replay expansion in 2014 NEW YORK (AP) -- Major League Baseball hopes to expand video review by umpires for the 2014 season and says all calls other than balls and strikes could be subject to instant replay. Commissioner Bud Selig and MLB executive vice president Joe Torre say they still can't commit to expanded replay for next year. Torre hopes to have proposals by the August owners' meeting. Replay has been in place for potential home run calls since August 2008. Selig initially wanted to add trap plays and fair/foul calls down the lines, but Torre said a far larger expansion is possible. Selig and Torre spoke Thursday after a quarterly owners' meeting. Torre made his presentation to owners following two high-profile mistakes by umpires last week. Says Torre: ''Have we had a bad week or so? Yeah.''

In our division only the "O" are not playing so I will be watching at least one of them. The Jays can narrow the gap even if they are not playing tonight.

Same here.

I never got banned, was never interested in post counts (don't even know how high/low mine was) and I won't be going there even to see the chaos that might be happening currently. I just got tired of all that crap and really didn't have the time nor the energy to put up with it any more. I am glad there is this place and I am hoping it can be kept relatively clean and friendly in order to build the membership base (including good baseball minds from other teams). I am also aware that the mentality (homerism , for want of a better word) displayed from time to time with certain members may cause such new members to walk away in disappointment. I know it was created with BlueJays fans in mind first however I think if other team fans can feel comfortable chatting about baseball (not trolling) here then this board will become a lot bigger and better. *Just throwing in my two-cents*

I feel the same way. Can't understand why they feel the need to do that sandwich jump.

True, they are certainly capitalizing on those errors. This is something which has been lacking in the past.
