    Lines are straight, it shouldn't be hard to put cameras in line with them.

    Question, how does Tennis do electronic replays in seconds to find if a ball is out but we can't even get cameras pointed straight down foul lines.

    Biagini you are the man. Bautista, rinse repeat please. Barnes I don't know why you even started in Buffalo, don't ever leave. Carrera, just... go away. Everything you seem to do is embarrassing to watch. Keep winning boys http://i.imgur.com/YW5cUOU.gif

    lol, move runners in to scoring position and they both score without a hit. Just as planned.

    I was really pointing out the difference between hockey & baseball drafts. We can't just trade our best players for draft picks, then tank and pick Austin Matthews and be a postseason contender in 2 years. Baseball just doesn't work that way. It'd be different if we could trade players for draft picks and load up on a strong year but until that happens I'd rather focus on getting the right haul for my best pieces if I'm a .500 team. It's much easier to project the players you're getting back via trade compared to drafting HS students 4 years away from development.

    It's just not comparable though. - Top players drafted in hockey can impact your team in just 2 years or less - First round picks are much less a crapshoot in hockey than baseball - Leafs are sold out for the next decade or two, a low risk high reward - 50% of the league makes the postseason Here's an example why: 2009 MLB Draft Look past Strausberg 1 Stephen Strausberg 2 Dustin Ackley 3 Donavan Tate 4 Tony Sanchez 5 Matt Hobgood 6 Mike Minor 7 Mike Leake 8 Drew Storen 9 Tyler Matzek 10 Aaron Crow 11 Matt Purke* 12 Alex White 13 Bobby Borchering . . . 20 Chad Jenkins Toronto Blue Jays . . 25th Mike Trout LA Angels Bunch of s*** piled on s*** with Mike Trout going to the Angels who finished the 2008 season with.... 100 wins. Crapshoot.

    I use to stay up for these games. Guess I'll think about it.
  21. Governator
    You can probably just wait till game day and nab great seats for nothing the way the season is going.
  22. Governator
    Of course it would be lower, at least revenue would be down the toilet. Tickets were bought after a postseason berth in the offseason, whether they show up or not is irrelevant. This is Toronto... after a 50 win season you can be damn sure no one is buying in again until they are winning and if you're the owner the possible difference of 500,000+ in attendance per year to rebuild with the off chance you find future success is tough investment to commit to. The average ticket price for Jays is what $40-$50? Multiply that by lets say 500,000 less tickets and you're losing millions year over year, let alone the TV advertisements. I mean... owners see that and think God damn if that takes us 8 years to make the post season again do we even break even with a WS win?
  23. Governator
    Again... yeeeaars. You're talking 50 wins man. That's hard to do by trying let alone climb out of and get to 90+ again. It's much harder to fully rebuild a baseball team than say hockey or basketball. There is so much that isn't guaranteed in the game and hitting the reset button doesn't win you anything nor does it guarantee you'll even see a drafted player crack your MLB roster in 5 years. You can't just tank, nab Austin Matthews and make the postseason 8 months later. I have no problem being sellers at the deadline, dumping veterans for multiple draft picks or minor league talent but if someone gave me the option as a baseball fan to see my team win 50 games or be a .500 team I'll take the .500 every time with hopes of retooling to be better.
  24. Governator
    If we won 50 games it means we are going to be terrible for yeeaaaars. It's hard to watch or care after a 15 game stretch, imagine many years of this.

    I rarely watch basketball but I swear every time I tune in to a Raptors game they seem to be losing.
