I think the standard MLB front office/review system rule applies here: If the Blue Jays lost, everyone is happy and the game doesn't have to be replayed. If the Blue Jays win (which they did) apply the letter of the law and force the game to be replayed from the fourth inning onwards. Simple. -
13 straight retired by Smyly and 5-13 in August. And there are still some on here who maintain that this team didn't quit after July 31st.
-
This is just becoming sad. In nearly two seasons this team is 139-151. Time to call it; they are a complete f***ing failure of a squad and AA/Beeston need to be fired.
-
Holy s***, this is just brutal. This team needs to be blown the f*** up.
-
To be fair, this umpire has also given Stroman f*** all.
-
Ever heard of Dillon Taylor, 20, who was from Salt Lake? No? But I bet you've heard of Michael Brown - who hasn't? This is why I f***ing hate sheeple who bleat racism without f***ing thinking.
-
Ha! f*** you Reynolds.....

Apparently Jon Morosi of Fox Sports feels the same way I do. "Anthopoulos should've made a trade." Link: http://www.sportsnet.ca/590/ The worst record in baseball since the trade deadline.....

It is easy to blame the players. They earn millions, many of them are arrogant *******s and like (most of) us have a job to do regardless of their personal feelings towards their situation. But these are human beings and however much we might mock, deride and/or hate them for this, it is hard for some of them not to get demoralized when you are trying your best (remember on July 31st we were 60-50 on a 6 game winning streak, 3 games up on a wild card) and your FO does dick all, especially while other teams around you make trades that were imminently doable without having to give up major pieces. Please also note that this could be applied to the entire off-season and this season in which the FO has not come close to making a single move for an impact player (without having to ask the players to defer their salaries first of course). Don't get me wrong I would cheerfully blow up this team today and trade them all for a bucket of prospects. There is no evidence that this is a team capable of winning consistently; take away May 2014 and this team is 117-141 over two seasons.

I applauded the Miami trade. I hated the Dickey trade. In both cases I think that it is going to become clear very soon that we were utterly fleeced in both of them.
-
BP again. f*** this is depressing. I can't seem to drink fast enough to dull the pain.
-
Why? You want to push the Blue Jays non-championship seasons to 48 in a row? Plus Rogers owns part of MLSE I believe, so we would be doubly f***ed!!!
-
Seriously, 11-2 before the trade deadline, 4-12 after. f*** you FO.
-
No, no. That was closer to 6 minutes and that makes all the difference....... *sigh.* It'll be a long, slow march to perdition for the rest of this season. The team obviously quit after the FO quit on the season on July 31st. PS Thanks Reyes. Can't wait to pay you another $22m next year.

Toronto Sun: Alex Anthopoulos will return next year
wardhenke1 replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
So just to be clear, this record is enough that Rogers are not just OK with how the team and AA is doing but actually downright happy: 2010 - $78,689,357 payroll, 85-77 record, average age 28.7 years, finished 4th 2011 - $70,567,800 payroll, 81-81, average age 28 years, finished 4th 2012 - $83,739,200 payroll, 73-89, average age 27.8 years, finished 4th 2013 - $119,277,800 payroll, 74-88, average age 30 years, finished 5th 2014 - $137,177,700 payroll, 64-61, average age 29.6 years, currently 3rd by 2.5 games and would have to go 21-16 to match his 'best year' as GM. f*** me. Spending more and more of my employers money, taking 5 years to get back to where I started from while employing increasingly declining assets and they're happy - I'm in the wrong f***ing job. -
Francisco's confidence is shot, just like this team's at the moment.
-
Since the trade deadline we are 1-4 now? And there were some on here that thought that Valencia and Reimold were all we were going to need with Lawrie (injured again tonight, probably rushed back too early), Lind (God knows when we'll see him again), Morrow (will get injured getting on the bus from Dunedin) and EE (see Lind) coming back soon. How about now?
-
You couldn't make this s*** up. Honestly. Navarro, Buehrle and Valencia.
-
Stop worrying; our GM finally got off his ass and made a positive move today, bringing in Brandon McCarthy for much needed pitching help. Oh, wait.........
-
Webb would have cost us money. Oh wait, I forgot we have $15m+ to spend according to AA. I also have $15m to spend; don't be fooled by my s***** Toyota and modest 2 up/2 down in York Region.
-
The look on Feldman's face: "I can't believe it's been this f***ing easy."
-
We're about to cough up 3/4 to the f***ing Astros. Wonder what the mood in the dressing room will be like after this game?
-
But, but, but.....Reimold......Valencia.......we didn't need to make any acquisitions......AA said so........
-
Apologies Jonn, I didn't want to seem like I was getting on your case in any way and I shouldn't have snapped back like that. The number of actual Jewish deaths has most accurately been pegged at 4.5m according to the latest research (John Lukacs The Hitler of History for example). The problem is that the number of victims killed by the Nazi regime is actually much higher as you indicated and the numbers often get mixed up or conflated. It may have been as many as 26-27 million Russians murdered, as the USSR never properly documented the actual figure and were not keen to own up to it even after the war due to Stalin's deal with Hitler in 1939. To add context to those and Japan's atrocities, Communism was responsible for the murder of as many as 100 million people in the 20th century (The Black Book of Communism is a great read on this subject). The bottom line is that the 20th century involved 100 years of unprecedented murder even as we 'evolved' as a species in terms of technology and knowledge. And Max Pentecost looks brilliant!!

Sorry, but as a history major this sort of s*** really gets on my tits. If we're talking strictly about WW2 there were 3 holocausts: 20-25 million Russians, 8-15 million Chinese/SE Asians killed by Japan and 4.5 million Jews in Europe. To conflate holocaust and Jews and get the figures wrong just grinds my gears. Yes, I'm an anal retentive ******* about historical accuracy. Sorry.
