Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

I've had it with this freaking team. It's the same **** every season. Last in hitting every single year since 2009 when that idiot Jack Z took over. I honestly don't know who's worse him or Bill Bavasi. If we go down 1-0 or 2-0 in the 3rd I feel as if the game is over. Just an absolute joke. But I guess that's What happens when your team has 2 straight brain dead GM's.

I'm rooting for us to lose the rest of the year. That's the only way to ensure our idiot GM is fired sooner rather than later.

So at what point do we start acknowledging the Rays? They have really surprised me with their play so far...

The worst announcers in all of baseball used to be the Chi-Sox but Steve Stone is doing for Hawk what he did for years for Harry Caray, add a dose of realism and reign in some of the crazy homerism. The Nationals broadcasters are not only homers of the highest degree but they also think everything the Nats do is the greatest thing on God's green earth. I swear if a Nats player were to take a dump in the middle of the field FP Santangelo would wax poetic about the form and substance of said excrement and call it the sweetest turd he's ever had the pleasure of smelling.


Buck and Pat may have their faults for the Blue Jays but they're pretty unbiased IMO. They give credit where it's due.

Hahahaha. That is such a great example dude. Sad thing is he would say something like that too.

Mets reclaim first as the Nats are slumping. Tigers barely above .500 now.

Crazy game.

Really is. Indians are a game behind the Tigers, which would have been crazy at the start of the season.

Baseball is a hell of a game.

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

Yeah I remember a week or so ago the Indians were being talked about as most disappointing team. The A's are now only 10 below .500 now too. Seattle finally got to .500 and now lost 6 straight.

I love it.

Pat Venditte called up to Oakland

Otero DFA'd? Crisp or Doolittle to DL?

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

Nothing like making your debut in a quiet calm place like Boston. Crisp to the 60 day could be the move. Sadly, I'm thinking he may be done for good.

Here's hoping the Jays can continue to climb up the mountain to the .500 mark but it's a tall order with a weekend series against the 'Stros. Hopefully they don't get swept again.


BTW there are rumors floating around that the Jays should trade Bautista to the Mets (the Mets are said to be looking at him, among others at 3B what with Wright's uncertain future) for pitching help.

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

What's your thoughts on that trade scenario SPTO?

I feel like if AA is thinking long term rather than "win now, no matter what" he will have to make a trade like that because the Jays can't afford to keep both Bautista and Encarnacion. One of the two will have to be dealt if they want to get anything in return. I feel like Bautista makes the most sense because he's older and he's going to command more dollars than Encarnacion.

The Mets are a very good fit as the Jays can go after bullpen arms and maybe a starter as that team is loaded to the gills with pitching. It's certainly something to think about and I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

Yeah but that division looks up for grabs by anyone right now. Tough decision.

I think if they trade Joey, their chances go out the window...he brings a substantial amount of presence to their lineup (remember Cespedes last year with OAK?). I'd say trade Encarnacion.

The AL East ain't that good to trade the best player away...at least from what I see.
