  1. Bottom foot might be on the bag there. Safe was the right call.
  2. Sucks losing to an inferior team, but that's the nature of a short series. Estrada to save our season.
  3. Does anybody remember when Troy Tulowitzki was Troy Tulowitzki? Those were the days.
  4. Well that sucked some serious ass. Hey Dave, how about next time you don't get too cute and take 11 days off from competitive baseball?
  5. It was the one big miss for AA at the deadline. But it's pretty hard to complain about his deadline moves. Most GM's don't tick off the amount of boxes he did, with the quality of players that he ticked them off with. I'm sure he looked around, there just wasn't a deal to be made.
  6. You've got to take your chances with Loup. There's just too many lefties to leave it all to Cecil. Besides, I don't want to burn Cecil in a medium leverage situation, I'd want to save him for "H*ly sh*t God help us!" situations. You know there will be a few of those.
  7. I specifically remember it mentioned during the CBS broadcast of a Jays playoff game that had it not been for the dome, the game would not have been played that night since it was pouring rain in Toronto.
  8. Oh God, we're screwed. Why can't all these analysts and gamblers jump on the Cubs bandwagon?! The whole Back to the Future thing; it's perfect.
  9. I watch games on the computer at work anyhow, so it doesn't matter what the start time is for me. I understand people's frustration. Many, especially bandwagon fans who don't normally pay attention to post-season baseball, will be caught off guard.
  10. Yeah, I'd put my money on the Jays throughout the AL playoffs, but probably put my money on any NL team over any AL team in the WS, Jays included (although I get a funny feeling we would expose both St. Louis' starters and Pittsburgh's. No rationale for it, I just feel like we'd handle them).
  11. I don't think it works that way with baseball in the US. We can have an All-Star lineup, but it's not like the NFL in terms of national interest. They get major bumps from the local markets involved (of which Toronto offers them 0 bump being in Canada) and then they get a certain percentage of die hards that will watch any baseball, finally they get the out-of-market fans who will watch the heritage teams like Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers. Marketing individual players on teams with little national cachet like the Jays just doesn't fly.
  12. I don't know, Houston/KC is still more compelling to a US broadcaster than Toronto/Anybody not named Red Sox or Yankees. Maybe it's not listed yet, but I think we'll be in the suboptimal time slot. Also, I'm not a tinfoil hat guy, but FOX really does hate Canada.
  13. Throughout the season, it seems people were constantly scared of Estrada pitching vs Team A or in X ballpark, yet he never unravels the way everybody seems to expect him too.
  14. If we're facing elimination, I think Price goes in game 4 and Stro in game 5, otherwise, I think they'll use Estrada in game 4 and Price, if needed, for game 5.
  15. The real question is: Will FOX force the Jays to play God Bless America during the 7th inning? If so, I hope Torontonians rightly boo the hell out of their over-politicizing baseball.
  16. It may have helped them, but I think the data from the era clearly suggests the advantage was skewed rather heavily on the side of the hitter.
  17. I'll see your "road home runs", and raise you "steroid era".
  18. I have no dog in this fight, but I find the drama quite captivating.
  19. There goes my dream of a perfect game clinch.
  20. No, unless something new develops in this game (like a pimped HR by the Jays), I don't think there will be issues.
  21. Mike Sirotka, Tanyon Sturtze, sinking ships, games on Rogers community cable...holy f*** it's been quite a road back to this point. I will enjoy this immensely.
  22. I hope it comes down to the ninth inning, up 1, bases loaded for the O's, 3-2 count, and have it end on a called strike a foot out of the zone. Just to have Showalter go nuts as we celebrate all around him.
  23. Throw Hutch in there somewhere, wasn't he an IFer? As much as I value first overall, I'd love to see the Jays C team drunk out of their minds in game two. It would be the cherry on top of a great season. Still probably beat the O's.
  24. RIP Michael Burgess.
