  1. Is that posturing though? Are there gonna be some pitching prospects moving out?
  2. Except for looking for a new career, doubt he ever gets into management again because he's never even made playoffs before.
  3. Man I forgot about that guy....seems like nothing ever pans out for us; Romero, Drabek, McGowan, etc....
  4. It's unfair to Bautista, Reyes, Donaldson and Encarnacion. Maybe even martin & pillar. They play their asses off every night only to have their chances ruined by pitching. This team is a playoff team imo, but the pitching staff for the most part is AAA at best.
  5. Lol annnnd we aquire Joba.... Didn't even realize he's still alive.
  6. Agreed, it is always the center's job to pick up the 3rd offensive player, so that alone will give virtsy more leeway than Bo was given.
  7. Streaks were meant to be broken #WorldBeaters#BlueJayz#Donaldson
  8. Man I miss having Halladay. There's not one pitcher I look forward to as I did back in those days. Hutch and Sanchez are good, but it's just not the same. We need a true Ace. It's to bad Drabek didn't pan out either.
  9. I would agree with everything you said here, if I wanted to make sure a top 10 pick will be a bust.
  10. And if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle....
  11. The player I'm reminded of when I see Virtanen play is Iginla from about 17-18 years ago.
  12. Exactly...I'll say it one more time; you don't develop top 10 picks in jr, you make them busts.
  13. Then you could call him just another bust and put him with the likes of White, Smith, Schroeder, Grabner, Jensen, Rodin, Gaunce and probably half a dozen more guys that CDC are thinking are sure-bets. History has shown that about 1in 4-5 propects work out and fewer are elite. There will be many broken hearts around here, but hey!, that's just the way it goes. FTR I hope that Virts does Pan out...I love his style.
  14. You don't develop top 10 picks in jr, you bust them.
  15. The environment will be fine...Earth has been here for 4 billion+ years. It's humans that are &^@#ed. The earth will go on, but we are ensuring that we don't.
  16. If the starters deal more effectively, we may see some reduced work and pressure on the pen, maybe things could turn around.
  17. Take it easy on these guys, they've watched hockey for 3 years and played on x-box for 2. They know more about hockey and IQ than I ever did playing Jrs. I bow to them as we all should.
  18. Someone post when gibbons and/or anthopolous get fired... Not watching this display again until then
  19. Teams that didnt have a goalie go 28-15-1 or have a goalie with a .650 win percentage. Some people just can't face the fact that without miller we would have had another top 10 pick and would be trading the Sedins, etc if it wasn't for him.
  20. It's not fair to Utica.... At no point and time was Bo a Comet on a regular basis. He was a Canuck. It's like asking why didnt we send down Tanev, Kassian, Lack... Etc...
  21. Amen brotha, some of us have jobs, kids, school, animals to care for etc...
  22. Bo averaging 10:39/ game. For all those that said he'd be better off getting more ice time in jr. 12 points and 52% in the dot. I'd say he's having a decent rookie season and progressing quite well.
