Reminds me of the Lo Viste s*** from last year. -
There's no need to panic over a mediocre team regressing to their true mediocrity. The time to panic was the offseason when AA sat around and did nothing to upgrade this team.
-
Whatever you're trying to get out of spamming this on every page isn't happening and it's annoying.
-
I'm not "whining incessantly." I hardly post as it is. This site would be boring if everyone had the exact same opinions, and you're welcome to just not read my posts.

Have the Jays done anything positive at all in the last 20 years? A winning streak in May just doesn't excite me. Like I said earlier, meaningful games in September at minimum is what I need to see to be hopeful about the future of this franchise.
-
The reason why people are frustrated by this team is that they've forgotten that this was a 74-win team last year and nothing was done to fix it beyond getting rid of JPA. Let's be real, this team actually sucks just like every other Jays team for the past 20 years. Accept that and it suddenly isn't that frustrating anymore.

Never mind Larry Bowa, he should have gone full-on Lloyd McClendon and just ran off with first base: http://i.imgur.com/cKeCygJ.jpg

Gibbons is a bigger pussy than I thought if he lets the umps f*** us over like this.
-
LOL. The MLB should have just announced the Yankees as division champs prior to the season instead of subjecting us to these rigged games.
-
I'm not "going at" anyone, except for CHP, since he's a smug homer and a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.
-
You can tell by his posts that he's a blind homer. On its face, there's nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend like your homerism is actually great analysis or get mad at people who are more realistic/critical about the team.
-
I love how you try to pass this off as some impressive prediction, when in reality, you predict every year to be "our year," and you're now thumping your chest over the one year out of the past 20 where you might finally be right.
-
That's where I'm at, too. It'll take meaningful games in late August and September minimum for me to buy into this team, I've been burned too many times before. The overt hostility some people have to anyone who isn't chugging the Kool-Aid is hilarious, though. I'm not even talking about the trolls who s*** up every GDT with their multiple accounts... it just seems that the prevailing attitude now is "anyone who doesn't buy in this instant is 'stupid' and not a 'real fan' (whatever that means)." Remember how everyone hated Cooler Heads Prevail last year for being an obnoxious homer? It seems like quite a few people here have become him now.

I don't have 1000 posts, but I never posted on the old forum. I actually found this site through a Google search. I did read the old board from time to time, though - enough to know it was a cesspool.

I seriously don't understand the constant panicking. Absolutely nothing was done to improve a 74-win team in the offseason except for ridding ourselves of JPA, and aside from one month where they got unsustainably hot, this year's team has been predictably mediocre. People are too focused on the fleeting division lead that the hot streak brought us (even I've been guilty of this sometimes) and ignoring the fact that the team's just not that good. I can't even be mad at these players because any division lead at all is overachieving to the extreme.
-
I'm actually agreeing with your schtick for once, though.

Unloading the farm for David Price
FireAlexAnthopoulos replied to AdamDunnHatesBaseball's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Seriously? It's just a game, dude. -
True, people actually panicking are morons. In all honesty, this team was never really as good as they looked in May, the regression is just kicking in now. Smart fans realized this and adjusted their expectations accordingly, whereas dumb fans, as we can see, are melting down in every single GDT.
-
We were like 6 games up heading into the Cardinals series, though. Not good.
-
LOL... I rarely even read GDT's but I stopped in tonight to see the trainwreck reach fever pitch.
-
It's our board, we can blame whatever the f*** we want. Who are you to lecture us?

Umpires are a fucking joke
FireAlexAnthopoulos replied to felinefriendly's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Replay should have been coupled with the firing of every inept ump in this league. The blatant bias and stupidity from so many umps basically cancels out the league's new increased desire to get the calls right. -
AA is going to fail to sign our first-round picks AGAIN, but we're having a good start to the season, so the media won't hold his feet to the fire. Pathetic.
-
In fairness, I have no clue who Metalijay is and don't really care about this drama, but "hounding" is a pretty common expression.
-
The O's or Sux will get him while AA hems and haws about "value." I've seen this show too many times before.
