Starter days are long gone.

The feeling is quite mutual, you near 50, think you can out run a measured MLB player, lol.

Osuna Matata!!!

Go lie down somewhere, seriously.

Next is Gruber can jack a dinger off Osuna? lol

You could never, is so.

How about that Goins kid...

lol

He pitched last night.

lol... aren't you near 50... On the wrong side of 40?

No you aren't.

He'd tear your ass a new one Gruber. Just saying...

Yup, like Estrada, lol.

This guy reminds me of Estrada.

Whoa... nice grab!

That's generous.

Blue Jays Lineup... 1. Jose Bautista ® DH 2. Russell Martin ® C 3. Josh Donaldson ® 3B 4. Justin Smoak (S) 1B 5. Steve Pearce ® LF 6. Troy Tulowitzki ® SS 7. Ezequiel Carrera (L) RF 8. Kevin Pillar ® CF 9. Ryan Goins (L) 2B Francisco Liriano, LHP This start originally belonged to Aaron Sanchez but he was placed on the DL with a blister. Instead Liriano will take the mound on three days' rest, which shouldn't be an issue because he threw just 54 pitches last time out. A's Lineup... 1. Rajai Davis ® CF 2. Marcus Semien ® SS 3. Ryon Healy ® DH 4. Khris Davis ® LF 5. Jed Lowrie (S) 2B 6. Yonder Alonso (L) 1B 7. Matt Chapman ® 3B 8. Josh Phegley ® C 9. Matt Joyce (L) RF Chris Smith, RHP Smith turned in seven innings of one-run ball against the Rays on Tuesday, holding the American League East contenders to three hits while fanning four and walking two. He’s yielded four runs across 13 innings in two starts. PREVIEW... By Jane Lee / MLB.com | @JaneMLB A's right-hander Chris Smith will return to Rogers Centre for the first time since 2008 on Monday for a series-opening start against the Blue Jays. The 36-year-old journeyman, seeking his first Major League win as a starter, will be opposed by veteran lefty Francisco Liriano, who takes a 5-5 record and 6.15 ERA into the contest. Smith, who nine years ago faced Toronto as a member of the Red Sox in a forgettable relief outing, will be making his third start in place of right-hander Jharel Cotton, who is on a rehab assignment after nursing a right thumb blister back to health. Smith pitched well in each of his first two outings, allowing a combined four runs in 13 innings. "He knows where he's throwing the baseball," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He reads swings well. He doesn't have overpowering stuff, but he deserves another start or two or whatever it'll end up being based on performance." Liriano will be pitching on just three days' rest, with Toronto altering its rotation in the wake of Aaron Sanchez's latest trip to the DL, but he totaled 54 pitches in only 1 2/3 innings in his last start, against the Red Sox. Five days prior, he threw 50 pitches, allowing five runs in two innings in Detroit. Liriano had completed six innings in each of his previous three outings. Toronto leads the season series, 2-1, over Oakland. • Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is questionable for the series opener because of a sore groin. He was pulled from Friday's game in Cleveland in the ninth inning after tweaking it, and he hasn't played since. • A's outfielders Rajai Davis and Khris Davis have enjoyed much success opposite Liriano, with Rajai taking a .364 career average (12-for-33) against the right-hander into the contest and Khris carrying a .353 mark (6-for-17). • Liriano is 5-4 with a 4.30 ERA in 17 career outings (15 starts) against the A's. LETS GO BLUE JAYS *CLAP, CLAP* *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP* LETS GO BLUE JAYS *CLAP, CLAP* *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP* LETS GO BLUE JAYS *CLAP, CLAP* *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP* Hey A's... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img911/724/K02O1z.gif

Hah... just posted this.

I just don't see the Birds being active either way, maybe as some have said before in taking on salary with spects coming our way. There's simply no value. Shapiro and Atkins have both said in the past they aren't moving multiple year contracts. It's not lip service either as this FO shoots from the hip. The only way that happens if it's an offer they can't refuse. Expect a quiet deadline, folks.

I know mate, that was pretty much my point, not to mention GM's don't trade in division because, reasons.

A) NY Yankees NY Yankees C) NY Yankees D) NY Yankees The bold isn't true.

I know, that's why I said your sentiment still stands. P.S. I'm truly enjoying NJH rustling Jimmies in the rebuild thread.

lulz

In the picture... he just went 12-1-1, he was out awhile back is what I meant.
