Toronto Blue Jays

[Zorro]

Damn Jays. You lay the smack down on Baltimore then follow that up by getting swept by the Rays.

Well done.

Why can't we win in Tampa Bay??

[Zorro]

I absolutely love it when we smack the Yanks and Bosox around..

Does anybody else cringe when Aaron Loup is on the mound?? For some reason I can't stand when he is out there on the mound..

No alone my friend. But to be honest, I seem to lack confidence in most arms on that staff right now.

Agreed. None of their pitchers right now seem to instill much confidence in me either. I doubt they are scaring too many opposing teams.

I checked in on the game and the score was 7-1. I figured RA Dickey was pitching. I was right.

The Astro's were pounding Mr.Dickey.. The knuckle ball was just floating in, running into wood and flying out..

Hmm, interesting but considering the results during his tenure, not surprising.

Wow, that says alot about AA getting us some pitching.. Not sure why we have Dickey?? A knuckle baller is just too inconsistent.. I don't mind the youth movement here, but damn its frustrating.. Buehrle eats up innings, great, but his ERA is damn high..

In warmer weather the Knuckleball dances more simply put. But since the Doc has left, jays haven’t had an actual ace. Stroman was up for it this yr, but obviously didn’t happen. I loved the Donaldson trade, because having a starter actually start on the corner was so great. But we obviously didn’t need the bat, which was just a bonus.

TRADE REYES. Goins is so much better at D, and we don’t need someone hitting in that spot. Trade Reyes for a closer, or a bullpen stud. Norris, Sanchez, Stroman, Hutch are a great future rotation, but we won’t have the bats when they’re ready. Donaldson is hitting amazingly in the lead-off role, Travis was great 2^nd, 3^rd 4^th for Bautista and Edwin, and Martin is benefitting from the strong hitting in front of him and is hitting great for the 5^th slot. But obviously no one wants a banged up SS on the downward trend.

Let's go on a winning streak!!

[LawMan]

Hell of a game yesterday. Lucky for me it was one of the few I've watched the entire way thru this year.

Lot's of sloppy D on the Jays side of the ball; errors and failure to turn 2 on a couple occasions. Huge walk-off however against Robertson who was 9/10 in save opportunities. Sure would be great if that would be the start of things to come.

[Zorro]

And then they lose in 10 innings.. Reyes is playing like poop..

[2014olympicgold]

Osuna and Francis are the only guys on the mound I trust game in and game out, and that is not good. You can see Sanchez is coming along tho. Reyes for a pitcher. REYES FOR A PITCHER! With division title up for grabs from anyone, I’m not sure if they should go for it or not. I know the vision should be for the World Series, but at some point AA has to switch his sights to playoffs. I don’t agree with that, but it’s gotta happen sooner or later.

Cashner for Navarro and Reyes. Even tho that trade makes 0 sense. I just want to package up Reyes and Navarro for someone.

Other than the excuse to get drunk on a sunday afternoon at the Skydome with the roof open... does anyone actually give a **** about the Jays any more? Another pathetic Toronto franchise...
