?We were up in a box, myself, Andrew Tinnish and Tony LaCava,? Anthopoulos said, remembering last Sept. 16 in Baltimore. ?We were sitting there and just talked about (how) we?re going to change some things up in terms of who we were going to bring in.

?Sure, you want talent, but you want to have those other components. And we stayed with it. We stayed with it all off-season. We stayed with it during the year.?

We've created a monster!

they didn't do anything except spend a bunch of money on who was available. they will be gone in the first round due to lack of starting pitching. you can't start Price 4 nights in a row.

Culture doesn't help with this.

I didn't realize > $150m payroll, signing a bunch of mercenaries, trying to steal a GM (and not following protocol) right around the Winter Meetings, stealing signs from the outfield, having an organization that was open about replacing their president/GM, not winning squat for how long is actually creating a culture? Sounds like a NYY Jr...without as many juicers.

See, you are wrong again!

So his career is over before it even began? Sad.

Why should I really care about the Blue Jay's "new culture?"
