  1. Rodney DFA'd by Mariners.
  2. JD has got to be the front runner now. Not because he hands-down deserves it but because his traditional stats are getting ridiculous and dinosaurs rule the earth.
  3. Why does he do this? Didn't he get burned walking Eric Sogard to get to Marcus Semien a little while ago? What is even his rationale? Do the local reporters ask him?
  4. I can't believe how deep we are into the season and how much fun I'm still having watching this team. This is uncharted territory. We are exploring space.
  5. The tag up was fine. That throw was just pitch perfect. Edwin is probably safe if you do it all again, a second throw that strong being unlikely. Sometimes the other guys deserve credit.
  6. If you're a lefty and have lifted a weight within the last six months you can hit home runs for the Yankees. Trash and s***.
  7. I'm not opposed. This is just uncharted territory for modern Jays fans.
  8. Without naming names I'll just say that his relentlessly positive analyses of the Jays' chances became one post too many for me. Nightmaul is just posting like a perverted stalker though. What he said to BigCecil in another thread was indefensible. Mods deleted the posts though, and even the responses he got, which is good.
  9. Good to see the Jays dominate this first game. I admit I was a bit anxious that the Angels would carjack the wild card top spot the way the Jays did to the Twins. Taking game 1 means that, at worst, the Jays will leave LA with a modest lead in the standings.
  10. Nightmaul making an early case to become the second board member I've blocked.
  11. Strike 2 on Iannetta there was unhittable. A perfect pitch.
  12. Good to see a blowout in progress. If they hold on it'll be pretty huge coming off that s*** pile in Philly.
  13. Yeah, that season was as close to a consistently entertaining season as possible too. I'm pretty sure every season since has had some kind of awful stretch followed by a good one, or vice versa. This year included (April and May this year were bad). '06 started pretty well and rumbled along at a pretty decent pace - 87 wins. What killed the team were all the throwaway games sprinkled through the year because of starters gone bad (Josh Towers, Gustavo Chacin, missing Burnett for half a year, etc). I remember for a good portion of the season win streaks would cap at 3 because of this. They also wouldn't lose streakily either (Hi, Doc), but huge positive momentum gains were rare.
  14. The Twins are running up the score on the O's. Not unlike the O's have done to other teams this year with those 20+ run games.
  15. I anticipated 2006's squad would be high-ish. Good to know my memory of them is pretty on-point!. 2006 was probably the most exciting year in recent memory until this one (if you can even call it recent at this point).
  16. To be honest I still would have. I'm glad Aaron Sanchez is successful and the team is doing well with him as 8th Inning Guy, but I'm still skeptical of why he deserves the job over some of the other talent in the pen. I'm not comfortable that a failed rookie-starter is the best option in tight games than Mark Lowe, who is apparently relegated to holding fairly sizable deficits late in the game. This is not to say that I think Gibby is throwing games away because I can't tell you what didn't happen. I do think he isn't putting all of his guys in the positions to have the most success, though.
  17. There is a summer student where I work (a boss' kid) who claims to have ADHD. Watching him interact with other people is almost surreal. He's so hyperactive it's almost as if he's going to explode out of his own skin. He says the medication he takes makes him really grouchy and angry and that when he's in school (teenager) that he finds himself wanting to lash out at anyone he sees. I obviously have no credentials to diagnose him or anything, but I have a hard time believing that even the most obnoxious teenager would voluntarily behave like he does (think Jim Carrey in some of his earlier, more slapstick roles). Since I tend to not give him s*** (other people are really mean with him) he sometimes takes me aside to ask if he's outbursting too much. Sometimes I'll flat out tell him he's acting like a space alien and he'll tell me he doesn't know how to stop. I have no idea how this can be the case, which I guess is the point. Honestly I feel bad for him.
  18. Remember to breathe, Trouba.
  19. While using Tom Arnold's career arc and Roseanne as reference points. Don't injure your dinosaurs, guys.
  20. The distance between KC and second place in the AL Central is only .5 games less than the distance between first and last place in the East and West.
