  1. Also, you can survive on the moon with airtanks. If you land on a star, you're burned to a crisp.
  2. Trade: BTS gets my 2nd round waiver. I get Bruce Rondon and his 5th round waiver.
  3. Given that time isn't measured in integers, the concept of the 'tie going to the runner' is just plain asinine.
  4. In fairness, we were really rolling the dice with Grilli. He gave up 6 ER and 3 HR in his last 1.2 innings of work, including giving up runs in his last 3 consecutive games. If he gave up a run (or several), we'd be saying the exact same thing about Gibbons right now. And if Ubaldo pitched well, we wouldn't have said anything about Showalter. Just bad luck (or good from our perspective).
  5. You can't hold the team responsible for this. They can't educate the players on every possible thing that could get them killed. Boating at high speeds at 3 AM, with very limited visibility isn't a smart thing to do.
  6. Yeah, filled the playoff baseball quota for the next 20 years.
  7. What about being able to track your minor league players in the system, instead of having to CTRL-F your way through a spreadsheet to see if a debuting player is already owned? That's kind of nice.
  8. I think Votto would replace EE's production pretty easily, and would create enough of a buzz to drive ticket sales and help fans forget about the loss of EE and JB.
  9. From the FAQ: "Why have Game Packs replaced Flex Packs? Why 20 Games, 12 Games & 6 Games? We did a lot of research and fan surveys to better understand what our fans want, their trends and habits. These new Game Packs are a reflection of what the fans told us. Game Packs differ from Flex Packs by offering different levels of flexibility, savings and benefits." I wrote them asked to take away all choice and flexibility from my six game flex pack. Glad to see they listened.
  10. Jose Reyes could do alright next year too. I think the way it works is that he's a free agent at the end of this year, even though the Rockies owe him $22,000,000 next year and $4,000,000 the year after that. What he could do, is sign a multi-year contract that's backloaded, so it only pays the major league minimum in 2017, and "overpays in subsequent years" He could probably get $15 million for 3 years, weighted like: 2017 600,000 + (23.4 million from Rockies). 2018 600,000 + (3.4 million from Rockies). 2019 13.8 million I'm not sure if it works that way or not, as I've never seen a useful player with thirty million left on his contract get dumped into free agency.
  11. Barring an injury, Jays will 100% offer Jose a QO, which he will certainly reject. And another team, will definitely pay him well. I think he'll get 4/70 and that will probably be a bargain. Yes, he's old and he's had a bad year, but he's still productive, and he's only one year removed from a .250/.377/.536 year with 40 HR and 4.5 WAR. And that's not even counting his ridiculous post-season heroics. Sad, how all you 'fans' forget so quickly all he has done for this franchise.
  12. Delete your account.
  13. Stupid yahoo Fantasy said Navarro got on, on catchers interference, and then Upton hit a home run. It's like there's someone trolling me, running the thing.
  14. I think we could probably get Lind back pretty cheap. He has ties to Toronto, and he was pretty awesome when he was here. I think his value is at an all-time low, and we could really get a bargain for 1B/DH.
  15. I think we'll resign Saunders. He needs a big payday, and doesn't want to go into free agency with the QO hanging over his head. He's good, but not so good, that the QO won't hurt him considerably.
  16. I think Bautista and EE are likely both gone. They've both managed to convince themselves that the Jays ripped them off for signing them well under their level of production. And while that's true, they seem to be forgetting that the Jays took a big risk on them. At the time of their signing, they had only one full year each of being awesome, and several years of mediocre performance. For every Bautista, there's six other guys who fell apart after one big year.
  17. The worst call ever remains the Jim Joyce 'not a perfect game' call. It was just baffling.
  18. Matching IP addresses creates an uneven playing field for trolls. Boooooo!
  19. 1/11 his last three games. Team just has more confidence in Goins moving forward.
  20. It would be fun if Gibbons was a prankster, and called Travis into his office for a serious talk to tell him the organization decided to demote him to Bluefield.
  21. I still don't understand how they grade Tebow as an average to below-average arm, given that he was a quarterback. If there was one thing I thought he could do, it was throw hard.
  22. If a team makes a claim on him, don't they have to accept him (and his contract), if the Dodgers are willing to let him go for nothing?
  23. Book quickly. The Boston series is right around the same time as TIFF, which is Toronto's busiest hotel time of the year.
  24. Probably not accurate. I'm pretty sure the smallest crowd for a Jays game took place in Tampa Bay.
  25. Yeah, I don't know why people brag about Toronto attendance all of a sudden. If the Jays didn't have a roof, and it was a cool night in September, and there was a federal election on the same night, and if there was a terrorist threat earlier in the day, and if SARS was prevalent again, and if the Subway was down, and if the Pope was visiting, there wouldn't be nearly as many fans.
