My only real hope for this team is the Baseball God's are bracing us for the sweetest road to the World Series ever. Beat Baltimore in the wild card game, beat the Rangers in the ALDS, and then beat the Red Sox in the ALCS. Hey, let me dream, goddammit!

Implosion GDT: Shitty Blue Jays @ Seattle Mariners
glory replied to Jonn's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yep, Gibby is old school. He'll let Estrada's arm fall off as long as the, um, is in tact. -

Man, if Estrada is hurt, then start Dickey or even Feldman in his place. Why have him keep pitching badly just to have him out there? -

Orioles on the verge of their 3rd playoff appearance in five years with Duquette and Buck despite never looking justified of it from a talent standpoint. I might have to just start accepting that they are a well run team, as much as it pains me. -
It's not bad luck. The Jays are getting killed in the last 12 games. Run differential is s***. Wins are 1 run wins where Pillar has to track a ball at the warning track to save the game. I don't know what happened between the end of August and now, but this team is not making the playoffs if they don't turn this around quickly. There are just too many teams around them to slump this badly. Injuries and age might be a factor. When your best players are in their 30's with a ton of mileage on them, it's not going to be easy to last a whole season.

He's not going to be the GM here so his track record with FA contracts (as mixed as it is) doesn't really matter. It will ultimately be Atkins who makes the call with Shapiro's input (or vice versa). The Jays badly need to improve their player development structure, so if Cherington can help with that, then that's great.
-
Last off season went so quickly due to the deep playoff run the Jays went on. This off-season will be long as hell as all the other ones the previous 20 years.
-
Nice Gibbons. Bring in a s***** Sept call up in a 2 run game. Only 3 more weeks and Gibbons never manages again. One can only dream. Obviously my dream of the Jays winning the WS and firing Gibby the next morning is not going to happen.
-
Not that it will hurt Edwin, but removing the qualifying offer greatly increases a free agent's stock. If the Jays were out of it at the deadline and moved those two, I think they easily would have accepted it. Bautista in particular as the QO might hurt him this winter.
-
It's not a lie if they know the truth. The JPR Legacy will never leave this organization.
-
The Yankees traded their vets at the deadline and went on a 2nd half run. The Jays held on to theirs and are on the verge of completely collapsing out of a playoff spot by the weekend. What the Jays could have gotten for Edwin, JB, Saunders, etc, at the deadline will haunt us for a while, especially if the Jays miss the playoffs.
-
Thank goodness Navarro came back to save Estrada's season. Martin catching him would have been a disaster.
-
Can the Jays score again so that Estrada doesn't have to throw a shutout? That's the real question.
-
Carrera hits pinch hit home run. Will never see the bench again.
-
Francona would be good but I can't see him leaving Cleveland unless he really hates it there. That team is in much better shape long term than the Jays are.
-
Jays and O's tied for the WC with 3 teams within 2.5 games (NYY/DET 2 games back and SEA 2.5). Man, I thought the WC was the worst case, but not making it at all is a distinct possibility with the way these guys are playing. On one hand, anything that makes firing Gibbons more likely is fine with me, but damn let's not waste JB and EE's last seasons here (assuming they don't come back).
-
And Goins started in a must win game against Boston because of "dem career numbers".
-
It's baffling. The front office had the perfect opportunity to get rid of him in the winter. The fans already hated them so how much worse could it have been PR-wise? Gibbons is never going to manage another MLB team again (unless AA finds a GM job somewhere else) so getting rid of him coming of an ALCS appearance may have actually done him a favor. Now he's been exposed as the s***** manager that he is, and the Jays have suffered because of it during their final season with Edwin/Bautista on cheapo contracts. If the Jays happen to fall into a wild card spot now, anything can happen in one game, but this offense is bad. Donaldson has to come back like a mad man to save them, and even that may not be enough with the hole that they've dug.
-
Gibbons still has a job because he's easy to scapegoat. That's the only reason I can think of that he's still around. If the Jays tank the rest of the way, Gibbons has no chance of coming back. It sucks that they wasted what could be the Jays last great chance at a WS for a while with that Goober managing.
-
Pillar, Carrera, and Goins due up in the 9th. Knowing Gibbons, no one will pinch hit. We got this.
-
The Rays will score in 3 minutes now, while the Jays will have 15 minute inning where they score nothing.
-
Carrera following by Fatty. Oh joy.
-
Hey Gibby, thanks for putting rewarding Carrera for last night ahead of trying to put the best batter in that spot.
-
Other teams make scoring runs look easy, while the Jays make it seem like brain surgery.
-
Biagini picking the wrong time to give up home runs.
