  1. From A's for cash or PTBNL. Barely thread worthy but, ok.
  2. Maybe true but to have this team and not go out and get a number one or two starting pitcher to solidify the rotation, and to not get a late innings relief guy to replace Lowe and Hendriks is just a flat out failure. There may be plenty of off season left but the big ticket players are coming off the board and we're back to scraping the bottom of the barrel for bargains again like it's 2011. You can always trade them away for other assets when it no longer makes sense to keep them. Maybe it's not Shapiro and his Cleveland team, maybe it's Rogers hamstringing them and that's fair enough...but as a fan it's frustrating knowing we're right on the cusp of something really special, and it's like we have to win in spite of ownership and management, not because of them.
  3. Moving forward I 100% agree with you but the reality is after this year we likely lose one or both of Bautista and EE, which is a huge blow. Who knows how long Tulo can stay healthy and not to mention we lose Dickey who while I don't like him, eats a lot of innings. Martin is going to start declining, etc etc etc. Bottom line in fine, build for a sustainable winner, but right NOW we are World Series contenders so why waste that opportunity twiddling your thumbs?
  4. The more I listen to Shapiro and Atkins, the less confident I am becoming in them. Every time they go to the media it's like listening to a woman explaining nicely why she doesn't want to date you. They have their lame duck manager in place, excuses in their holster ready to fire at a moment's notice ("Well we just felt Gibby wasn't the right fit for how we want this team to be managed moving forward," "well unfortunately our farm system is depleted right now due to the previous regime and we're spending time restocking that," "well we have to think long term"). Hey the philosophy may be great for the next 10 years but we have a small window to actually win a championship and it doesn't seem like they care.
  5. To play devil's advocate for a minute though...Edwin and Bautista both want to win and both were willing to defer salary to get Santana a few years ago. Possible they could give a hometown discount if the team is in any position to win.
  6. I feel like we aren't going to resign him. Shapiro seems to have kept his Cleveland Indians mentality of being extremely frugal. And given that after this year our window to compete likely closes...my guess is he lets Edwin walk at the end of the year. Really hope I'm wrong.
  7. Decent package also. Possibly has the balls to sign an ace.
  8. I was annoyed by this deal because I didn't like Happ the last time he was here and was so happy when he left. But then I stopped thinking of this as Price's replacement and started thinking of it as Buerhle's and now I don't hate it as much. Still not a fan though.
  9. Or clearing money off the books to sign someone.
  10. http://www.tsn.ca/report-reyes-arrested-for-domestic-abuse-1.391265
  11. Royals' Salvador Perez accused of using foreign substance during World Series http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Baseball/MLB/2015/10/28/22566875.html Man, as if you needed another reason to hate this classless organization.
  12. http://cnews.canoe.com/CNEWS/Canada/2015/10/23/22565395.html Gotta love these clowns!
  13. IF the Jays beat KC, and ONLY if they beat KC, I would love for KC to whine about Bautista and then have him be asked about them and Holland's comments, and Bautista to say "I don't really care what a bunch of guys sitting around on their couches watching me play thinks about me."
  14. lol That was awesome though because it was after they threw at his head twice in one AB and the ump didn't eject the KC pitcher even though warnings had been issued before the Jays could retaliate.
  15. You just know the outfield is gonna be full of people holding up signs now
  16. You are no longer authorized to celebrate any Jays success henceforth you non-Jays fan motherf***er.
  17. We need to have like a six running inning so I can stop nervously tugging on my nutsack
  18. Barry Davis: f*** you Ken Rosenthal, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!
  19. Pitcher tracker shows the ball way inside and way low. Commentator: Looks like it tickled the plate
