I also hate the Jays almost as much as I hate the Yankees,I've just got too many

years of hating the Yanks(all the way back to being a kid trying to get Thurman

Munson's autograph). Last year my hatred for the Jays passed the Red Sox

mainly because of Batista. I even hate the Jays more for picking up Donaldson which

I think we could all tell was a great move by them. I just hate the Jays period.

The sad thing is that I used to kind of like the Blue Jays. Those teams they had in the late 80s and the early 90s (with Alomar, Carter and Olerud when he was flirting with .400 and looked like Stan Musial, and with George Bell, Jesse Barfield and Fred McGriff before that) were a lot of fun to watch. And they weren't the Yankees or the Red Sox. They probably went down a peg or two in my estimation when they got Roger Clemens, but it was really Bautista that turned me against them. Being an arrogant jerk and a whiney little baby at the same time just isn't an attractive combination.

This is terrible, but I hate nothing more than watching John Gibbons hobble out of the dugout to argue a call. In my estimation he may be the biggest jerk of them all.

I'd have to agree with this... Gibbons comes across as an arrogant punk. Almost as bad as Bautista

The upper part of the Blue Jays' offense (Saunders/Donaldson/Bautista/Encarancion) is frightening, but the bottom half of the order has been pretty unimposing so far. I assume they'll wake up at some point, but hopefully that will be after tonight.

I'm not in love with them but certainly don't hate them.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      Weird thing about Suarez is that MASN had this being a 2 year deal when they talked about him back in April. ”The Orioles made another smart move with Suárez by signing him to a two-year contract in September. They knew what they’d ask from him and how it could contradict, and they didn’t want to give him any reasons to resist.” https://www.masnsports.com/blog/another-look-at-how-suarez-came-to-the-orioles

      Elias is refusing to spend money that Rubenstein has made available.  Do you have any sources?

      Outside Hamilton, I can't really think of any areas or invidivuals outside the line that have really stepped up.  Humphrey and Stephens have played okay but it certainly hasn't offset the complete zeroes that Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams have been.  I don't think you want to pull Hamilton off SS even though he can handle deep zone assignments fine, because he's essentially a linebacker that can cover wide receivers and there's too much value in that in the box.  And I think that Roquan/Simpson look lost in pass coverage because the safeties behind them are playing like butt.  Besides Roquan wasn't ever really a great coverage safety, he was kind of okay at it but he was never like a Lavonte David or Fred Warner there.   I'm starting to wonder if we need to either trade for a FS and/or start giving Ardarius Washington more snaps.  He certainly doesn't look worse than Jackson/Williams at this point in his limited playing time.  In general i think safety is an undervalued position so we're likely to get good value in trade.
