  1. Hope the porcelain doesn't break, that stuff is sharp!
  2. http://earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/index-eng.php?CHIS_SZ=swbc 122 recorded earthquakes over the past month in southwestern BC.
  3. When you use a small sample size, you are bound to jump to poor conclusions.
  4. So Canucks fans have been screaming bloody murder for prospects to be in the lineup yet being here is now not the best for their long term development? I am having a hard deciding what exactly my fellow Canucks fans want any more.
  5. I agree that Price isn't worth all that jack for being a proven playoff flunky. Though I am little more bullish on the Jays rotation. If Stroman takes the next step, he is the Jays ace. Hopefully Estrada continues to pitch well so the back end of the rotation is any combo of Dickey, Chavez and Happ. It doesn't look like a cavernous drop off from what the Jays had up until the trade deadline last season. Add the chance that Sanchez could be a starter at some point and if that experiment works out, the Jays will have a solid rotation.
  6. I hereby ban you from this Blue Jays thread for admitting you are a Red Sox fan too. No Jays fan in their right mind is a Sox fan.
  7. He doesn't need to go. I think the best place for him is on the Canuck's roster where he is getting the right coaching and mentoring from the players. He needs to work out his game at the NHL level.
  8. Spurrier did the same thing to the Redskins; turtled and fled back to SC and then bailed on them this season. Some coaches aren't cut out for the NFL no matter how great the were as a college coach.
  9. Good thing he wasn't 'gifted' a spot. What was your expectations of him for this season?
  10. Yeah because it worked for one guy, it will surely work for anyone.
  11. Not quite sure how you know this.
  12. Hold CTRL and right click your mouse button over top of the quote. Drop down menu allows you to remove the quote.
  13. What I am asking for is that when you have the momentum that this franchise currently has, getting budget conscious is a sure fire way to lose that momentum. It took 21 years to make it back to the post season. Why cheap out now? This is the time to throw some extra jack out there and try to capitalize.
  14. Huh? Only 23M to add? This is baseball! You can add as much as you want and just pay the tax.
  15. Not true. But I like your use of hindsight to further bolster your opinion.
  16. Too bad Joakim Soria is a RHD reliever (just because the jays could use another lefty). He looks fully recovered from TJS and would be a great fall back option if the Jays want Osuna in a different role.
  17. This thread has lost its focus. It's about really needing Burrows or not.
  18. Great season Caps! You have made soccer much more relevant in this market. I watched every game I could and found myself enjoying this team despite all of the gripes listed above. This team is headed in the right direction and just needs another piece or two to take them over the top. I hate beating a dead horse but it sure would have been great to have Camilo this season.
  19. There were only 20 qualified players last season with an average above .300 and 32 qualified players with a OBP of .360 for the season. Every team could use more players who get on base and hit for average as there aren't that many to go around.
  20. Which way do you do that though? Sign high priced free agents but that is up to Rogers to open the pocket book. Trade a bat for a few young arms which is always a gamble. Make a 'baseball' trade (good hitter for good pitcher). Or draft well in the next two years and hope that 3-4 guys out of that group make the team aka wishful thinking. It all depends what the new guy wants to do. Keep the current core together and try again with some new additions or go into semi-rebuild mode and kill all the momentum gained with this group. The former is my choice.
