    That Subaru commercial got me into Woodkid. Pretty cool stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmc21V-zBq0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9IR-JNrTcA

    He seems to come up with a highlight reel catch every game. If he keeps this up and plays everyday just give him all three OF Gold Gloves.

    Heh, don't think Melky would've made that catch Pillar did in the 9th.

      I haven't shaved in a month and I still can hardly grow a thing.

    Last day of the regular season and have a 50 point lead in the hockey pool. Yeah, I think I have it wrapped up.

    I liked the at-bats in particular form Martin and Pillar. They showed a lot of patience and fought off a lot of pitches. You need those at-bats to work pitch counts and get to the bullpen sooner.

    Kris Letang must have been channeling his inner Bo tonight.

    Ugh, the World Cup of hockey format? Awful.

      It terrifies me to see that NHL officials will be allowed to work this. Now Sutherland can embarrass the sport on an international stage.

    There are unfortunate hits from behind and then there intentional hits from behind. Ronaldo's hit on Letang tonight was 100% intentional. He better get a lot of games.

      Pitts would do well well to trade him before those injuries affect his value.

    Hockey pool decision time pt 2...should I drop Goligoski in favour of Dougie Hamilton, Wideman, Erik Johnson, Ekblad, or Faulk?

      /\ otherwise you'll be like me regretting having traded Nyquist

      I'm surprised to hear all those players are even available. Although I'd keep Nyquist

      ^It's a small pool. 12 people only at 6 forwards per team. On top of that we're allowed only 1 trade a calendar month so you can't do too much tinkering.

  14. Wilbur
    There is no reason the Jays still can't pursue Melky or Aoki, this trade, as stated above, hasn't tied up much more money.
  15. Wilbur
    I'll repeat the sentiment that it's sad to see Lawrie go but I think we'll soon forget about him once we realize what the Jays have in Donaldson. Lawrie was a blood and guts player that wanted to win very badly, but I don't think he was the heart and soul of the clubhouse. That label belongs to Baustista still. In Lind and Lawrie, AA has traded away two players that they weren't able to count on everyday for production. Both always seemed to get injured and Lind just can't hit lefties anymore. These guys always created roster headaches because you always had to have a replacement nearby. The Jays now have a lot more flexibility on their bench, it seemed last year they always had 3 guys around that could play only 1st and 3rd in Valencia, Johnson, and Francisco. It's not just fair to project Lawrie's 70 games and compare, you should compare what Donaldson will do (in a more hitter friendly park) to Lawrie/Valencia/Francisco.

    Wow, Giordano and the Flames are lighting it up against the East....I think I now know how Sidney Crosby does it.

    Whatever happened to a plain, old, easy to load boxscore. I just want to see who got me points in my hockey pool. I don't need live streaming, who's on the ice, momentum trackers and a zillion other stats.

      fantasy and predictions+useless stats has become more entertaining than the game itself

    That one actually may not be too bad. Did you hear about the time that Brian and his brother were (briefly) wanted for murder?

    Not to mention that, with an aging Serena Wiiliams, the women's draw always seems t be a crapshoot.

    I would argue that trading two of Stroman, Sanchez, and Norris (plus some other pieces, I bet) to get Price would not have put the Jays over the top as two of those players are making important contributions right now.
  21. Wilbur
    Whenever I think they're slipping too far the Jays go on a run...so waiting for that run. As for improvements I really wonder if shifting Lawrie back to 2nd full time would be best. Would he provide that glove at 2nd that he does at third. I know some people knock his baseball smarts, so perhaps not the best idea. If needing to save money you could then have a Fransisco/Valencia platoon and spend money elsewhere. The rotation is a tough one. There pitching has been okay, meaning the cost to improve is going to be astronomical. Improvements from within in Stroman, Sanchez, and Norris are coming but may be too soon to expect consistent high quality innings.
  22. Wilbur
    1-3-0 Starting pitching could have been better but you're not winning many series' when you score 1-3-0 runs.
  23. Wilbur
    Was unlucky to witness that game last night. Was wondering which Hutch we'd get, Good Hutch or Bad Hutch. Ended up getting both. Was not happy with Colby "I'm gonna make the 1st out at third" Rasmus or Austin "I'm going to take an offensive indifference base when my team is up by a pile of runs" Jackson. Glad someone on the M's go plunked, although with Mills on the mound I highly doubt it was intentional. The only thing worse than that game was trying to connect up with I-5 North after it. All that being said. Today's a new game. Go Jays!
  24. Wilbur
    Can't say I saw Hutchinson's start coming. Although it sounds like he's owned the Orioles this year. Go figure.
  25. Wilbur
    That's only if they skip a spot in the rotation, which my hunch says they won't.
