  1. Gibbons 2004-2008 record, 305W, 305L, Win% .500 Gibbons 2013- Present record, 210W, 221L, Win% .487 And people wonder why so many hate on Gibbons, with a better team now then when he used to manage, he still can't be above .500. The guys a joke, and same with AA for evening hiring this joke of a Manager back. This franchise will be much better off when they get ride of AA and get a real General Manger who actually has baseball knowledge, who knows the game from the first day he steps into office. And get a new manager who actually knows what he is doing on the feild, and knows his players better Gibbons is a joke record shows itself.
  2. Strongly agree, stupid me for not putting his name as well, and Beeston.
  3. Turns out the Phillies are willing to trade Papelbon and the Blue Jays and Cubs are the teams interested. I think this is what the Jays need.
  4. I haven't like AA since the day he joined the Blue Jays, it was stupid to bring in a guy who had no baseball experience or background in the first place, just asking to fail. It just doesn't make sense to have a pitcher pitch tomorrow, who has never pitched an MLB inning in his life. I could see if they were say 10-15 games out of first place, or were in first place by a lot, but when it's this close and your on a 7 game winning streak just goes to show how clueless this management organization is.
  5. If Sanchez is not injured or dealing with soreness for why he is not pitching tomorrow, just goes to show Gibbons needs to be gone, he is the one holding this team back.
  6. That one is still a gamble, especially since Travis doesn't even have 1 MLB game yet under his belt. There is Goins, Tolleson, and even Izturis who I thought played the postion very well last year until he got injured.
  7. Now that Drabek is gone, he was the last piece of the trade that involved the Halladay trade. There was also Travis d’Arnaud, and Michael Taylor, but Michael was traded right away for Brett Wallace, then Wallace was traded for Anthony Gose. This was AA's first big trade move as the GM back in 2009, these were 3 prospects he wanted and where are they now? Drabek now with the White Sox, just never was able to achieve that dominance that he was able to when he was younger, also having 2 Tommy John surgeries changed him. Travis d'Arnaud now with the Mets was traded back in 2012, in a deal that brought R.A. Dickey to Toronto. Brett Wallace now with the Padres, who was drated by the Blue Jays in 2005, but not signed. Was traded to Astros in 2010 for Anthony Gose, and Anthony is now with the Tigers. Basically was the trade worth it... There was some potential in 2 of the 3 original players, but with injuries it hurt the Jays in the end, they lost the trade imo in the end.
  8. Yeah I think I've noticed that a few times too, it sure is getting sloppy.
  9. Anyone notice the mistake on SD yesterday in the 6 man tag team match? I noticed Stardust tagged in Goldust, and Goldust was wrestling one of the Usos then Goldust rolled out of the ring and then Stardust came back in the ring(no tag made) and was tossed over by the Usos. And then everything was going on outside the ring with everyone, but when things settled down and got back into the ring, all of a sudden now Stardust was the legal man in the ring and not Goldust....
  10. Ryback vs Lesner at Wrestlemania, then I would be more interested.
  11. I'm skeptical about Sanchez though, and how the Blue Jays will utilize him this year. Personally watching him last year, I was amazed with his stuff, he throws a 2-seam fastball at 98Mph, if he only he threw a 4-seam how much faster it would be. I also think he could have an amazing career as a closer if he really wants it, but it really sounds like he wants to be a starter, but I respect his decision. Although the Blue Jays in AA has basically said if they aqcuire another pitcher, Sanchez will be in the bullpen. The reason why I'm skeptical about it, is because Sanchez mindset is set on being a starter and he already did the bullpen, I don't think he'll be happy about being forced into a bullpen role. I understand he may have no say in it, but will he really bring his A stuff then if he's not happy with his role. There is a lot of talent in this kid.
  12. Funny how this stuff works, they offer him the one year qualifying offer of $15.3M, yet they couldn't do that for 3 years?
  13. Yes this would be huge for the Jays if they can land this guy, over the last 4 years an avg. era of 1.87, the guy had 90 K's last year in 60 innings roughly. 103 K's the year before, he's better then Miller imo, he has showed consitency which is big.
  14. If they could land Miller that would just be HUGE, but by the sounds of it his price tag is to high for AA, but you never know I guess.
