You're a huge narcissist and one of the most insufferable posters on this board. I don't ever recall coming across a poster as annoying and insufferable as you since I joined this board in 2003.

LOL give me a break. You really need to go back and read my posts. I've given Atkins plenty of credit when it's due and also have been critical of him. I'm one of the more rational posters on this board.

The Leafs aren’t beating the Bruins haha. This team has no goaltending and defensively is vulnerable. Only way Leafs win a game is if they score 4-5 goals.

Leafs suck lmao

He's favourite now in Vegas for AL MVP. Bobby Witt Jr. is second favourite and Mike Trout is third favourite. I bet Bobby Witt Jr at 21 to 1 before the season. Now he's 5.50 to 1.

The issue is you have two extreme sides that are either really pro-Atkins front office or anti-Atkins front office on this board. When the Blue Jays win, you start to hear the pro-Atkins side getting all cocky crowning Y-Rod as a possible Cy Young contender, Garcia as a possible Mariano Rivera and IKF as such an amazing signing. All after just 20 games this season. Additionally, the pro-Atkins side does fail to recognize or acknowledge some of the teams glaring weaknesses, such as question marks in the lineup or the low ranking farm system. They are blue pilled into an illusion and believing what they want to believe. You'll never convince them otherwise or change their mind. They won't allow any criticism whatsoever of Atkins and this front office. When the Blue Jays lose, you do have some complainers on here or trolls in the GDT's that are way too negative and extreme in calling Atkins and this front office one of the worst, when in reality, Atkins and this front office have done a very good job over the last several years fielding a competitive team. Some of the criticism is ridiculous and they definitely do it to stir stuff up amongst the pro-Atkins group. Blue Jays can't win every game, but with this group it sounds like its all doom and gloom when the Blue Jays lose a game. Lastly, you have posters who are in the middle ground. They're rational in understanding some of the organizational flaws and acknowledge the strengths/weaknesses. They're not too extreme one way or the other, but are realistic when looking at the bigger picture. Always open for discussion without name-calling or insults. Unfortunately the pro-Atkins and anti-Atkins side have taken control of this message board, making some threads insufferable to read through which is likely turning off the posters who fit in this group and even new posters from joining the board.

Looking really forward to seeing what Y-Rod does in his second start. Would be something if he could be a solid mid-rotation starter for them!

Gotta collab with Ross Atkins on social media haha.

I'll go with Varsho

Haha only pulling your leg. Obviously he's a crazy fan or nut job.

He's getting e-transfers from Ross Atkins every week.

The computers don't care about feelings.

Should Verlander be activated for his start tonight? Against the Nats.

I want the Leafs to go as far as possible. Would be a great thing for the city and also for the local restaurants/bars. Leafs have a great offensive core with Matthews, Marner, and Nylander. One of the best in the league for sure. Sucks they haven't been able to take advantage of that during their prime years. Defensively and goaltending, this team doesn't have it to make a deep Playoff push. Could be wrong but every April it's Deja Vu with this squad. I think Boston as well is going to come out and take it another level especially after last year's Round One exit. Hard to be a Leafs fan when tickets are out of your price range pretty much every single game. Not spending close to $400-$500 for a pair of Green's or Purple's for a game + money for expensive food/drinks at the Scotia Arena. Was looking at getting a pair of tickets for Round One through the MLSE presale I had, and Green's were $850 for a pair. Unbelievable. Cheaper to fly down to the US to see a Leafs game. Regardless, hope the Leafs could make it far. If I lose the $20, no big deal. Happy Leafs win. If they lose, at least I won't be completely heartbroken haha.

Yup, but glad to see you now being more critical and questioning decisions made by this FO. Agree with a lot of your posts on here.

Brownie would call him an armchair GM and put him in his place!

$20 friendly bet Leafs lose in first round.

Goaltending is a huge issue as well. I can't see Woll or Samsonov taking this team far into the Playoffs.

Gotta hope the Leafs could score 4 to 5 goals, or else it's going to be tough to win games. I can't see them winning 2-1 games or 3-2 games.

Stop being an armchair GM

Now you're starting to understand why he is one of the more insufferable posters on this board.

Yup, they had a really successful home stand where they almost swept the Yankees and could have gone 7-2. Will take that everyday of the week. Can't be disappointed at all with the way this team performed, especially in the Yankees series. Can't win every game obviously and going to lose tough one's like today, but that's baseball. Pitching wise, this team will be unstoppable. Let's hope Vladdy, Bo, Springer and Kirk can turn the corner. Varsho was awesome today. Let's hope he goes on a run!

You should read my entire post you dingleberry.

Where did I armchair it? I just said and agreed with Stang that yeah Swanson didn't look right today and even in his rehab appearances, so ideally might have been better to ease him back into action in lower leverage situations. I also stated that Jays might have had their hands tied given the circumstances so it's understandable why they had to use Swanson.

It's okay. Brownie believes every decision made by this front office is the right one since they're so smart and we have no right to question anything they do.
