The Blue Jays tho

[Mudcat]

too bad it's just spring training.

Im going to Phoenix next weekend to check out some spring training. Should be a swell time.

Cactus League versus Grapefruit League. I bet there are people who have serious opinions about which is better.

 

[roguejuror]

Cacti are way cooler than grapefruits of course

 

[Mudcat]

The fok you say





No but seriously man, Jays are 9-2. I wish that meant even a little bit of something.

Too bad I know better. Life could be so much sweeter if I didn't know better about things.

 

[Mudcat]

Hard to believe but there is a reasonable case to be made that the Jays offense - which scored ~125 more runs than the next best team last year - may be better this year.

Let's start the damn season.

 

[Mudcat]

Not everything is perfect in Jaysland - a few pesky injuries and whatnot - but I'm sure that's true of everyone.

We still got the idiot for a manager but I guess I am stuck with that.

It won't be long now. Let's get the party started.

 

[Mudcat]

Opening day is not far off.

 

[FreeFall]

it's too soon for these threads. Well have all summer to see baseball.

GOOOOOO GIANTS!

 

[Mudcat]

BLUE JAYS OPENER IS TODAY!!​

In Tampa. At 4 o'clock for some reason.

Whatever, Ima observe that shit.

 

[Mudcat]

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE ?!?!?!​

You know, inasmuch as playing baseball can be considered rumbling?

Because the baseball game will be starting momentarily.

So being ready for that is basically the thing in question here.

 

[Mudcat]

Going okay so far. Lots to feel good about as a BJ's fan.

Still some work to do though.

 

[Mudcat]

Good win. The offense looked pretty tied up all game - lotta bad swings and something like 15 strikeouts - and it still scored 5 runs. A bad day is 5 runs. This is going to be a deadly offense.

 

[Mudcat]

And let my hating upon our idiot manager begin.


1st - there was no reason to bring Stroman out to pitch the 9th and plenty of reason not to. But I guess he was placing some shot at a personal accomplishment over team objectives - shades of when he started Mark Buehrle on 2 days rest at the end of last season so he could try to tie some idiotic obscure record that no one would ever talk about again - but the Jays still had a chance of getting home ice over the Royals in the playoffs.

Idiot.


2nd - R.A. Dickey is our day 2 starter. R.A. Dickey and his inevitable 4.50+ era should be our day 5 starter at best.



Idiot.

What is the deal with grapefruit not interacting with so many medications well?

I didn't know about that until recently. That shit is cray cray.

Ty FW. I'm on 5 different meds and steering clear of that shizznit.

 

[Mudcat]

The bullpen thing worked.

7th - Cecil
8th - Storen
9th - Osuna

I think we'll be seeing more of that.

We got a bullpen.
