  1. Wasn't Drabek ranked in the top 5 in pitching prospects, that year? Hindsight is always 20/20.
  2. I guess we will never see Owen in the HoF. I had a glimmer of hope, when the lawsuit was settle, but with the statement Owen's widow made about an upcoming DVD about Owen. It looks more and more like a pipe-dream.
  3. When I was a kid, I used to call the operator and told them "I love them" not knowing what It meant.
  4. I laugh at people who think Virtanen will make the team straight out of camp. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the kid, and he's exactly what this team needs, but he still needs a ton of work on his game. Using his linemates better, being patient with the play in front of him, controlling his emotions, etc. The only way I see him make the big club next year, is if he goes on a tear in pre-season and in his 9 games, scoring a point per game.
  5. The Jays need more grinders, than all-stars. Donaldson is a power bar that the Blue Jays didn't really need. Aoki is a grinder at plate, who takes pitches, is discipline, and gives you that timely hit. Looking at the roster, not one single person does that for the Jays. Think of is like this, Crosby wouldn't have won the Cup, if he didn't play with a guy like Fedotenko, Dupuis, Kunitz, and Sykora. You need those guys to succeed
  6. It's the same story ever year, timely hitting costing the Jays. This is why I purpose getting Nori Aoki in the off-season, rather than trading for Donaldson.
  7. A lot of wrestlers have been shoved down our throats in the past, but it never stop them from being super over with the crowd. Bruno Andre Hogan Sting Ultimate Warrior Shawn Michaels Triple H
  8. Imagine if they had smarky fans back in the golden age era. Pro-wrestling/sports entertainment probably wouldn't have lasted. Which means, no Hulkmania, no DX, no attitude era, no Austin, no Rock, but more important no Daniel Bryan for them to cheer for.
  9. Dayman, ah, ah, ah, ahhhh. Fighter of the Nightman, ah, ah, ahhhh.

  10. Rollins is the hottest heel with the company, right now. Makes no sense to turn him face.
  11. I had little expectation going into the show, but I thought it was a pretty solid show. The only thing I didn't like was Taker winning, after Sting loss to Triple H. If Sting had won, then I would've had no problem with Taker winning. Both men needed to either win or lose their match, in order to build up their rumour match, next year.
  12. I think Bray takes the victory over Taker. The following night, Taker cuts a promo about Bray was right, how he can now finally Rest In Peace (retirement), but then Sting hits the ring and challenge him to a match at WM 32.
  13. When he's fighting for a spot in the bullpen, and there's 20 years old rookies, pitching lights out, throwing 95+ mph.......those numbers are well below average compare to the two rookies. Castro pitching line: 9 INP, 3 hits, 0 ERs, 8 Ks Osuna: 9.2 INP, 6 hits, 0 ERs, 8 Ks Having Delabar in the minors is a pretty good insurance, if one of them falter in the big leagues.
  14. 7 hits, two of which were home runs, a walk, 3 earned runs, in 7 innings are pretty terrible stats for a reliever. The depth in the AL east got considerably weaker in the off-season, with the exception of the Red Sox. The Yankees aren't getting any younger, and loss Jeter. The Orioles loss, two of their MVPs last year in Markakis and Cruz. And the Rays are once again rebuilding.
  15. Norris, Sanchez, and Castro looking mighty good so far in Spring Training. Like I said, it's not the end of the world for the Jays.
  16. If Cena does turn heel, it will only be because of Reigns being super over with the crowd.
  17. Some guy just sold me fake tickets to the Philly game off Craigslist. Totally deserved it though, since I was wearing my Hodgson jersey.

  18. Geez, people acting like Stroman is some sort of elite ace in the rotation.
