Hank Aaron admitted to doing drugs, one of Willie Mays teammates said he used speed, Sandy Koufax used anything under the sun for his bad arm, which he admitted. Mickey Mantle used and got an infection in his arm because of it in 1961. Ty Cobb had literally no intergrity, sportsmanship or class whatsoever on the field, and even assaulted a heckler during a game. Guess we better kick them all out. Why, if you're so dead set against Bonds getting in are you not actively campaigning for all the admitted cheats and *******s from the past be kicked out using the same rule? I guess it's cool to hate Bonds without really thinking about why.

I'm somewhat split on the whole Janssen thing. Dude is nailz with his results, but he's also having a season where he's a much more flyball/contact than he has been in the past, and part of me wonders if that's not a sign of his stuff maybe losing a bit of effectiveness from his injury, or just a small sample size aberration. It's not the worst idea in the world to trade a soon to be 33+ year old closer without dominating stuff who could turn into a pumpkin pretty easily, but the time to have done that would have been in the offseason, probably not right now when the Jays are in a wildcard spot. Thing is, not trading him now means you either have to QO him and risk paying him 15 million for next year, or hope he declines and get a pick. I doubt he declines given the crap that other guys have gone through recently with the whole QO business coupled with the fact that he's not your typical fireball/strikeout closer that teams look for and will be reluctant to part with a pick for him, in addition to the probably 7-9 million per year that his agent will be asking for. Chances are Casey is not re-signed and the Jays will get nothing in return.

Jays are back in the 2nd wildcard as of the end of today. 3 games back of Baltimore for a least lead. When's the last time meaningful August games were being played, let alone September?

I'm scared too...bewildered, confused...

Hehe, unlikely. The Yankees play Kawasaki like slow pitch teams play girls with 1 arm

Interesting, but a bigger problem is still the 10 vote maximum....and brain dead writers that haven't covered the game in 20 years

Three awful contact grounders... Great inning

I surely wouldn't be picking Buerhle, he puts way too many balls in play and relies on defense and stranding runners, not exactly the recipe you want in a 1 game playoff. You want the guy with better swing and miss stuff IMO.

Reyes (3pts) - Orgfiller, Gen.Disarray Melky (3pts) - o2cui2i, baseballsss Bautista (1pt) - jays4life19, LetTheBallFly Navarro (4pts) - GD Colby "f***IN" Rasmus (2pts) - Deadpool, Dylan, Spanky99 Kawasaki (9pts) - Tolleson (8pts) - Johnson (6pts) - Juan (2pts) - Gose (8pts) - johnhavok Goins (9pts) - Bench (10pts)

It just doesn't make sense to take Stroman out of the rotation in a trade. If you get a pitcher back, you still have Happ throwing every 5th day, which is exactly what you're trying to stop by trading for an arm. Add to that the much smaller difference in gains from Stroman to pitcherX, when compared to the larger gains from Happ to pitcher X and it just makes zero sense.

Please elaborate. You made the claim, present the "facts"

Uppercut hitters will do that on low ball pitchers

99 with downward movement... Sick

Get that fastball on the inner half and up, papi can't touch it.

Welcome to the show Sanchez. Get out there and face Pedroia, Ortiz and Napoli. Go get em kid!

Gibbons has to put up the red light there... Yes it's retarded on gose's part to try and steal third, but Gibbons and the coaching staff should know by know Gose ain't that smart and needs to have the choice taken away in situations like that.

Whoa boy... Out by 10 feet....rein it in there champ

Greta jump that time, no chance to throw him out

Little too aggressive here... Bucky has no control and Melky and Jose only see 3 pitches total with none out and a runner in scoring position. Not smart.

No double steal here please. Vasquez would nail Gose at third unless it was in the dirt

STFU! I mean... Let's hug it out.....

Wow, throw just slightly to the wrong side of the base, otherwise he was done. Laser throw

That othe one with Dickey and the "who's flying the plane?" Bit is actually pretty funny. I love any homage to who's on first

Need to step on clay's throat here. He gifted Gose first base after an 0-2 count, top of the lineup coming up....
