  1. spell-check mistake, but the principal is the same. (note, the incorrect principle IS a joke...) Edit: I could have been making a joke about Lawrie's ink... That's possible... I haven't had my first cup of tea yet... Rectifying that now.
  2. This is what happens when you click the first word your spell check gives you without paying attention.. I'm editing the original so I don't look like a total assface Edit: and it was even the 'murrican spelling of colour too... I feel dirty
  3. Unless Dickey regains form, a lot would have to go right for that trade to not look brutal.
  4. Correlation != causality
  5. The prevailing theories there are a) Bonerface isn't a very good fielder at any position or it's the fault of the turf.
  6. Always relevant.
  7. The Jays bullpen is 100% full of people in whom I have confidence. There are no holes there right now. He could throw any of them out there at any time and it would be the right move (with the possible exception of McGowan, but only until he shakes some of the rust off, IMO he's the best pitcher in the pen talent wise.)
  8. I would think the player that could play SS but not 2B would be the exception rather than the rule. The two positions are very similar.
  9. Kirk, when I say (I don't want to speak for everyone, but I assume the sentiment is not limited to myself) that "managers don't matter much", I'm talking about on field decisions. Line-up constructions, plays called from the dugout, pitching changes etc... Personal decisions are outside the scope by which I judge the value of a manager, though this was an excellent decision. FWIW, I think Gibby has done (for the most part) a great job with the few things a manager influences during the game (not much bunting, generally good use of the bullpen, though he is still too much of a "slave to the save" with Janssen).
  10. Oldest player to ever hit his first career homer in a Jays uniform, according to Bucky.
  11. WILL or SHOULD... Big difference. I think he SHOULD, but I don't think he WILL.
  12. I'm just picking Lind for every game until the AS Break, then I'll re-evaluate.
  13. Throw at him intentionally... Not with the intention of hurting him or anything, just save 3 pitches that way...
  14. If all else was equal, that's what I'd prefer. It's not equal, however... Izturis can refuse minor league assignment, meaning that if we send him down, he can opt for free agency and we'd be on the hook for his entire contract, even if (when) he signed with another team Bonifacio has no options, and he actually is a useful piece who wouldn't ever clear waivers. Kawasaki is simply the odd man out in this situation (unless you want to get rid of DeRosa, but that's a whole different story...)
  15. That's above average for a SS... IIRC .285 is the average for SS, read that earlier today I believe.
  16. Hey, what's goin' on in here guise?
  17. http://cdn-static.zdnet.com/i/story/60/05/003301/nelson-muntz.gif
  18. To be fair, the starting pitching really didn't help much tonight.
  19. Different skill sets... Right now, Kawasaki works ABs better than anyone else on this team, which is a decent skill to have (makes the pitcher throw a LOT of pitches...)
