  2. in a way i agree with the latter part but i think it's a bit unfair to say that AA should not have made those trades by "creating a short-term" window. we had JB/EE moving into their prime. we can hope that our prospects can make a significant contribution to overlap that window. u can argue either way whether if we had kept all of our prospects whether we would have been able to capitalize on JB/EE's prime. It's hindsight so the argument is moot unless u were advocating back in '11 that we should just trade JB/EE - i.e. just blow everything up and be really bad for several years and hope you can rebuild; that's what the 'stros did and i guess it's some justification given the run they had; i don't know whether our FO is as smart/astute as theirs so i don't know if we could have pulled it off the other risk of blowing things up and starting over is that you hope your fanbase will stick with it and will come back when the team is good again. here i don't know how much you can make a comparision between us and the 'stros - their ownership is a local businessman and ours is a media conglomerate; Rogers probably won't have the stomach for it
  3. if you can get on safari; i think it works with PC/VLC too but i've never tried it; i know it works on mine mac http://play-pico-cl1.fs.anvato.net/m3u8/pico701-otas-ksaz/master.m3u8
  4. didn't we say their BABIP luck should have ran out a long time ago?
  5. man this team is so special; 1 through 9; relentless; never say die;
  6. 20 per? that's pretty rarefied air if it happens ...
  7. so 3/50? is there even a precedence for a guy like him?
  8. because for the bulk of his career, he was the exact opposite of that...
  9. surprisingly, i like listening to arod... pretty interesting insights from a (current) player's perspective...
  10. prob stating the obvious here - cheering for a team not to win is not very satisfying....
  11. Major Shapiro trades as GM - I could see how if he and AA can make a great team if they can resolve whatever is there that's causing this delay 2002 Acquired: Coco Crisp, Luis Garcia FOR Chuck Finley 2002: Acquired: Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore, Brandon Philips, Lee Stevens FOR Bartolo Colon, Tim Drew 2002: Acquired: Travis Hafner, Aaron Myette FOR Einar Diaz, Ryan Drese 2006: Acquired: Asdrubal Cabrera FOR Eduardo Perez 2006: Acquired: Shin-Soo Choo, Shawn Nottingham FOR Ben Broussard 2008: Acquired: Michael Brantley, Zach Jackson, Rob Bryson FOR CC 2008: Acquired: Carlos Santana, Jonathan Meloan FOR Casey Blake 2009: Acquired Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald, Lou Marson, Jason Knapp FOR Cliff Lee - Salazar, Bauer, Lindor, Kipnis are drafts (intl FA for Salazar) - Kluber was trade with Padres but under Antonetti among others incl Gomes
  12. i always thought the "ninja" more refers to the fact that he doesn't let things leak out and has less to do with the quality of trade itself...
  13. http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/clock-is-ticking-for-blue-jays-to-resolve-anthopoulos-situation/
  14. it'd be kinda funny if the issue turns out to be with gibby coming back... what sweet irony that'd be unlikely as it may be
  15. I've gotta think even with Beeston, he had the final say on deals. In fact there was some interview where Beeston said he has nixed some deals that AA had brought to him in response to some question. I can accept that Shapiro is going to be more hands on than Beeston, maybe learning from what happened in Cleveland with Antonetti, espeically the Jimenez deal. But the reporting org structure, at least as it appears on paper, should be pretty similar... I think/hope it's speculation but then I can't think of any other reasons why the deal isn't done already either
  16. narcissistic maybe... fascist no... if they were fascist, they would have some sort of gun-control in place by now...
  17. time for an encore performance Madson
  18. i think so too; that 2nd swinging strike by Cespedes is a direct result of that 1st called strike... same thing happened to Revere and Navvy... umps influencing the AB
  19. just got home to catch the late innings... watching these 2 teams play makes me more at peace if AA were not to come back
  20. I thought I read somewhere about sports psychologist; don't know if that was an actual hire and more of an area he wants to bolster...
