  1. Estrada should be easy to sign. I'm of the opinion that we should attempt to bring all of them back, Buehrle and Dickey included. If the vets' salaries drop considerably, which they should, then more is better. Estrada could easily be a swing man again or so could Hutch. It would be nice to enter spring with 6 starters.
  2. ....aaaaaaannnddd....the Jays break the record. The Angels have never given up as many runs as they have the 36 against the Jays, in a 3 game series, in their entire history.
  3. That's the word. I hope he chooses to come back for another year. / Jays just tied the Angels record for most runs allowed in a 3 game series.
  4. When I wrote this on Aug 3rd EE's slash line was .245/.343/.454. Coming into today it was .257/.351/.493.
  5. Dickey is prone to a bad inning, every knuckleballer is, but he's equally capable of shutting them down for several innings too. He hasn't walked any which is a positive sign that he's got command of it.
  6. If it was hurting us I'd agree but it isn't. That gives him time to adjust. If we were having trouble scoring then I wouldn't be against it but right now we can be patient.
  7. Agreed. He's also the type of player that could get hot in playoffs and win a series MVP.
  8. But then the Indians homer to take the lead back. Jays aren't out of this game yet.
  9. Brady Anderson...my gawd was that obvious. But drugs have been a part of baseball life for at least 50 years in some fashion or another. Watch the movie Dockumentary about Dock Ellis. It's eye opening about that and a lot of other topics.
  10. Despite the fact that we are still a 1/2 game back we are in a better position than we were when we were up by the same margin last week. We have the same amount of wins but, more importantly, only one loss behind NY. Last week we were three losses back even when we were in 1st place.
  11. Yeah... I dunno. Look at Ekblad. He had a full beard at 15. It happens.
  12. Let's all be frank.... If we were told that an incoming Donaldson would hit 33 HR along with 30 2B and 91 RBIs we would have called it a successful trade. Never mind that he's only played 118 games.
  13. How has Dickey been as a hitter in his career? I seem to remember that he isn't gawd awful.
  14. Hopefully Tulo can have a good series against pitchers he is used to in the NL and Revere can give some pointers against the Phillies pitching.
  15. I'm pretty sure it is only because they intend to skip a start in the rotation and have him pick up a game. It's a short term transaction just like Loup. Just meant to keep the arms fresh.
  16. I gave to admit that I thought it was a questionable call by JG to leave Price in vs Headley. He was already 2/3 against him on the day and it would have been just as good to turn him around as a switch hitter against Sanchez IMO. Oh well...just gotta K the next two.
  17. 3 should normally be enough for Price. Let's see what he goes with it.
