Tercet bets against himself, loses $500
Dick_Pole replied to tercet's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The level of systemic racism in this thread (except Terminator) is despicable. Would you all be as critical of Hernandez if he was white? Certainly not because the Jays have that in Grichuk and he's getting all kinds of love here. Is mirage some kind of new racist term? Feels like it. Is his play all a mirage simply because he's a Latino darkie? You people make me sick. -
They played a reasonably good game. They're just not a team built for the playoffs. Boston has a shut down D with the old big man and the Leafs do not. Also, everyone else in this thread needs a painful, slow and fatal bout with AIDS.

As a Blue Jays fan it rules! Let the Yankees play 50 games in September. Take one in Cleveland and the other two are rained out when Kluber was supposed to pitch? I think the Jays came out on the winning end on that one too.

What is Unique about the Blue Jays franchise?
Dick_Pole replied to Kevin Gerrity's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
We have the best damn OT politics/news threads of any MLB fan message board, which I am sure you're quite familiar with. A very unique characteristic of the Blue Jays' organization. -
Is that what they are calling circumcisions now?

Totally gonna win this thread.

I was a very infrequent poster back in those days. That forum wasn't really worth my time but that particular event was entertaining.

Nope, got that figure from a quick check of BR.

Plus who knows how much money he's spending on medical staff in order to find out what's "wrong" with his body that the White Sox training staff supposedly f***ed up. This guy goes through doctors as fast as Trump goes through politicians. This guy's wife has to slap some sense into him and make him psychologically accept his situation before he burns through all his cash.

I would just like to remind people that the resident male feminist moderator who turned this baseball thread into a cesspool was the very same person who posted nudie pics of some girl, without her permission, on the old board. While that was awesome and hilarious at the time, he hardly comes from a position of moral or intellectual authority on this subject.

He made $8M in his career and you are underestimating how quickly a stupid person can blow through that kind of nest egg. Oh, plus whatever he made on endorsing earmuffs.

Guess my 2011 prediction of 3-4-5 hitters being Lawrie-Snider-Arenicibia in 2018 never came true...

Rogers Media conspiracy to make Donaldson and Stroman* appear so unlikable that the fan base won't give a s*** when they are jettisoned for prospects. *Apparently all they have to do with Stroman is give him free reign on Twitter.

Remember when everyone said that Tony Romo sucked balls as a QB, sucks balls in life and will suck balls in the broadcast booth...and now he's the most beloved color guy of all time? Yeah...maybe that's JPA.

I'd be more afraid of a rabbit punch or mosquito bite. Terminator, please continue using your preferred terminology.
-
If the last few pages in this thread convince a few of these wishy-washy pantywaist posters like BTS and NGH or whatever his dumbass name is now that they must vote Scheer over Trudeau and Ford over Wynne in these upcoming elections then this Ramos character is a positive in my world.

The Marcus Stroman is a terrific douchebag thread
Dick_Pole replied to ValiantJaysFan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
This poor bastard doesn't know how things work around here with Jim, and is about to get a taste of it. -
The Marcus Stroman is a terrific douchebag thread
Dick_Pole replied to ValiantJaysFan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I'm impressed that two people actually read through this long-winded nonsense carefully enough to actually pick specific points from it. Expos81 should be honoured. But yeah Stroman is still an annoying douche, regardless of race...but I would give him a longer rope if he were a white guy because being racist is awesome especially in 2018. -
f*** that. One of the front office's job along with the manager is to manage the team with a scarcity in roster spots. Decisions to carry one extra reliever versus bench player, taking advantage of players with options and using the DL etc. I don't want that decision to be made easier with teams carrying a million RPs. Plus Manfred and his stupid time obsession wouldn't want the extra pitching changes (I don't want that either - give me Gossage type guys who are actually GOOD and can get all types of batters out over multiple innings).

LOL LOL LOL There is NO chance an American company is going to come here, ever. Not because of the oligopoly's power, but because it's not worth their time. One of the last business cases I was a part of when still in the industry was analyzing the threat of Verizon entering in the Canadian market. The end result was slim to none. The business case was -$2 billion to them lol. A U.S. company can either try to get 5M extra subscribers on their home base of 300+ million people or can enter into the Canadian market and struggle to get 5M people on a base one-tenth that size, while incurring massive upfront costs of buying spectrum and building out its network (unless they wanted to go the MNVO route which would be slim to none), and marketing to a new place, including needing materials and customer service in French. So what route do you think they will take?

Based on the comments in this thread you'd think the Raptors are a little over .500 battling for the playoffs. This team has won a kazillion games in a row, mostly routinely and even the nailbiter wins haven't been all that lucky or anything. Relish the moment, this may be the best Raptors team we'll see in a generation. Though ideally we'll have one or two more years of this.

2018 Jays Wins and AL, NL, and WS Prediction Thread
Dick_Pole replied to Jimcanuck's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Jays win 78, win the division (it will be a very bad year in the east this year) Jays WS winner over the Reds Jim still laments that the team didn't trade Donaldson at the deadline and spends his time during the WS parade thinking up of trade scenarios for Pillar. -
Smoak will have better power numbers than Judge (SLG/HR/RBI) The Republicans will do surprisingly well at the mid-terms and Trump will do lots of winning Donaldson will not get traded and will play out his contract The previous two points will cause Jim to go insane and his only coping mechanism will be to spam the board with asinine Jays-25-man-roster-for-prospects trade scenarios.

I can see the Raptors doing very well against the Cavs in the playoffs using a fast pace and making liberal use of the bench. So what if LeBron puts up 40+ every night. If the Raptors are putting up 120+ that means the rest of Cleveland's team has to put up 80. That's even if Cleveland is the Raptors' #1 threat right now. They have absolutely no defense. Thinking big...as far as the West is concerned. The Warriors are battling through injuries which means Houston will likely have home court in the Conference finals. And the Raptors are only one loss behind them.
