You're still a hater? Actually wait, who the heck are you? You just seem to have appeared over the last few days spouting out anger and hatred towards moi. Don't blame me if you are upset at home with your performance or have family issues. Sorry but that is your problem Mr. Anger

Now that game between the A's and Twins was a decent game. Too bad the ump screwed it up. That being said, baseball is usually boring drivel.

So, any Dodger or Ranger fans out there? Here's some fun math.

Andruw Jones. The Dodgers gave him a huge deal last summer, and lived to regret it pretty fast. That would be because he played like garbage for them, and had no power. This year he's doing marginally better after being released and signed for the league minimum by Texas. Definitely has more home runs.

On a home run/$ basis:

Andruw Jones hit 3 homers for the Dodgers, at a price of $11.9 million per home run.

Andruw Jones is on pace to hit 25 homers for the Rangers this season, which would represent a cost to them of $20,000 per home run.

In other words, on a per home run basis, the Dodgers, once the deferments and everything have been paid, will have paid 595 times as much per Jones home run for their team than did the Rangers.

Not even sure why Snider is in AAA.. Should switch with Delucci, that guy's useless

Worse fielding than Delucci but at least he can hit

Millar is just painful to watch, only probable reason we kept him was because of his Grand Slam :lol:

This has been bothering me for awhile, so hopefully someone can answer this question. Sometimes when someone turns a double play, they will say something like 6 4 3 double play etc. What do those numbers mean?

I almost feel sad for Jays fans. If the Brewers/Ms were in this kind of situation, I would have full confidence that the GM could fleece another team for 1.5 years of Halladay. But, you guys have JP. I've loyally followed enough crappy (and crappily mananged) sports teams that I understand what that's like.

Jays fans, what kind of prospects would you expect to be involved as part of a deal? Where is your farm system weakest, do you think, in terms of positions? All of these kinds of things I have no idea about.

Pitching, pitching and more pitching. For example, if Doc goes to the Phillies, Happ has to be coming the other way (plus a bunch more).

With a solid starting rotation, a team can get by without as much offense. Plus, it has been shown that you can get decent production from less expensive players. Case in point: Jose Bautista, who is currently the Jays' best outfielder.
