Yeah, Gibbons needs to calm down a little. I don't remember these things happening with Cito (who should manage the team any time it has a shot at the post-season. I so decree).
What amazes me is the sweep we just saw, of Boston at the hands of New York. A team like Toronto reminds me of many Saints teams I've seen. I apologize if I am repeating myself, but I can't be bothered to scroll up.
The Saints have a wonderful ability to quit on the season in like week 4. I've seen it happen. It happened last year by week five. The Jays basically quit (as a team) a while back, which was stupid because there's so much time left.
The White Sox pitchers are HORRIBLE. You ask a guy who has Buehrle in fantasy baseball if he'd ever have him again. You can ask me. I never, EVER would. And way too many writers were like, "WHA HUH???" when he started to go to shit.
The Twins were beatable once Liriano went down. Jesus Christ, how can the Jays PLAY on a team that lost two of their three (Fuck You Lilly) pitchers to arm injury and not think for a second that it might happen to one of Minnesota's pitchers?
I will give the Jays credit for not believing that Boston could fail. They have not had a long history of choking against New York or anything, so it's totally normal to expect that they would have swept this series; kind of odd how it turned out.
To see these guys quit, as a team, it's just - Jesus Christ. I mean, obviously you don't "quit" when you are up there are the plate and really, one could point the finger at a few guys who were more than responsible for why the team sucked. Guys like Towers (those 10 games he lost killed us. Just killed us, psychologically). And Adams (I liked how he basically got the yips in the field to go with his horrible batting. If he could throw from second to first better than me he'd be in the major leagues right now. That's frigging pathetic). And the 4th and 5th starter for most of the year and the middle relievers and blah blah blah.
What a waste of a season. They need to start the extension on Wells right now because without the lineup this team has absolutely nothing to offer. There are three major league pitchers on the team right now - Doc, B.J. and A.J. every other start. So really, two and a half. I really don't want to hear old man Rogers crying poor, especially since they cry like babies when the Canadian dollar is weak against our shitty dollar. Well, Canadian money is worth a lot more than it used to be, so we'd better hear the reverse. The reverse of crying which I'll take to be the sound of Vernon Wells signing an extension.
Fucking baseball. When is the collective bargaining agreement up so I can hope, in futility, for a cap?
