  1. 420 is stupid. If people want marijuana to be legalized (and it should be), maybe show that you can smoke without acting like an idiot.

      The argument that 'other people act like idiots in other situations, so its i okay to act like an idiot in this situation' is so well-thought out. 

       

      If you want 420 to mean anything as a 'protest', treat marijuana like any other lobbying activity. Put forward the best argument possible. If you want 420 to just be a day where people celebrate pot, that's fine. Just call it what it is.

      oh look another argument with gstank involved lool

  2. Now that the word is out about low tv ratings, CBC has officially made it impossible to watch game on PC.

  3. Penguins are a different team with Malkin. Not a compliment.

  4. With the way McGregor goes through money he'll be broke by September.
  5. You've got a man with speed on first, one batter away from the top of the order, and you have a chance to get Barney to lay down a bunt to advance the runner. Nope, put CC in there to swing for the fence. This is not how you win playoff games and the Jays need to learn how to do this now as opposed to trying to figure this stuff out on the fly in October.
  6. He's hit a couple balls to opposite field this year. If he can make that part of his game, Jays might consider "well, he's a good second baseman, so if we trade Travis, who can be an excellent second baseman, how might this help us fill up more concerning holes in our lineup?"
  7. I think Goins is gone, as much as I like him. The difference between Travis' offence and Goins' offence is larger than the difference between Goins' defence and Travis' defence.
  8. This inning was exactly what makes the Jays great IMO. Yes, they have the long-ball, but what I think is impressive is the ability of their key players, when they're on, to work pitch counts. Martin with a 9 pitch at-bat, Tulo with 6 pitches, JB with 8 pitches, Smoak with 7 pitches.
  9. Donaldson reaches base for the third time today despite having only one official at-bat.
  10. This is where Jays need to be patient. Two on with a pitcher that cannot find the zone. Pick your spot.
  11. Third time the Jays hit into a DP and second for Bautista. At least the starting pitching has been pretty excellent so far this year.
  12. Game on already? I'll take it. Of course the moment I tune in, Martin grounds into a DP. I hate that I like this guy so much. Wanting so badly for him to do well is worse than just hating the guy for doing poorly. Carrera in for JB in RF, JB the DH, Encarnacion to 1B. Carrera did exactly what Smoak/Colabello have not been doing... taking strikes and working the pitch count.
  13. I would love to know how accurate these weight measurements are. I mean Pavel Bure was 5'10 and about as jacked as anyone that size could ever dream of while still playing in the NHL. I find it tough to believe that Stecher actually weighs that much while being as mobile as he actually is. Same thing with guys like Johnny Hockey. I would put him closer to 140-145 pounds than 155-160.
  14. Bats are going, pitch count is already up. Russell Martin needs to get going. I know it is VERY early in the season, but Smoak, Martin, and Colabello need to start realizing where they are in the batting order and to start taking some pitches and getting on base instead of swinging for the one RBI HR.
  15. Problem is that it seems like it takes Dickey a couple innings to get the knuckleball really firing. If you've only got an inning or two to work with, you might never get to see his best stuff.
  16. The Witch A bunch of high pitched screaming by children was not ideal after a long day of work.
  17. Ladies and gentleman, the legendary Vince Scully: User Actions Follow Rich Mayor‏@CityHall03 Arizona’s Nick Ahmed, whose number is 13, had an RBI in the 5th. @VinScullyTweet then said this. Never retire.
  18. Pretty nice to see the chemistry between Boeser and Stecher.
  19. Martin with a sac fly to center was music to my ears. Jays have to learn early in this season that games in the layoffs are won with smallball, so better to practice that style now.
  20. I have been to Utica and can confirm that all parks come equipped with modified picnic tables that can be used for beer pong.
