  1. On the plus side, when you really think about its not OUR money thats being thrown around its the owner's. Shouldn't they be allowed to spend money their way?
  2. If the Jays could get one pitcher this offseason, realistically, who would it be? Lilly? Meche? Mulder? Suppan? All are gonna be so over priced and not an upgrade over our previous rotation (if we get Lilly back, its the same, if we get Meche, it may be a downgrade depending on who you talk to). So is it really worth it to throw money at any of these guys? Are Marcum, Janssen etc really that bad? Lilly is gonna get a boat load of cash (maybe the same as Burnett per year) and is he really worth it? I mean Lilly is a good pitcher and he would be a good fit as our number 3, but is it worth spending another 10 mil or more on him? Especially when he is gonna be mid 30s by the time the contract ends? Parts of me hope that the Cubs get him...
  3. ahh that is the million dollar question...
  4. thanks for the heads up Chameleon happy days JJ!
  5. Richard Griffin has a real interesting take on the Wells situation right here. He makes some good points about saving the money spent on sub par pitching (or at least pitching thats not really at a good value) and spend it on keep Wells...
  6. They are alright, I am no expert but I definately don't throw your album on because the words really move me. Sorry but its true.
  7. Holy shit! I thought it would be tough to come up with a good show after Toronto but it was amazing! They repeated a few tunes but the fuckin lovelight encore was something to behold!! woo what a night
  8. I dont think the Jays are done yet with the middle infielder situation...it's gonna be a revolving door this year...
  9. what a fucking show!! monkey hill!! i dont beleieve it
  10. it was during unring the bell awsome show!!! 2nd encore for chrisakes....tonight in rochester!!
  11. hey wicked gig for you guys deeps!! what time ya thinks ya going on?
  12. I saw Serena Ryder open for Rudd a few months back and the girl can sing...
  13. we'll definately see a mule and a soulshine thats for sure...
  14. I like U-Melt, I doubt they've ever played Canada...I've seen em a few times at various festivals (Nugroove, 10KLF) and loved it. Especially at nugroove, the played from 530 am til 830 am...now THAT was a good night
  15. From the looks of it Zaun is ecstatic to be a part of the Blue Jays.
  16. It was good. The guys have awsome presence, I love when they head bang on stage...sweet.
  17. Oh? my bad...I thought Chacin was 27.
  18. While I agree it's time for Chacin to step up, he does not have a better upside than Chacin. They are the same age, and Meche is wayyy more polished than Chacin. Chacin was deceptively terrible last year, finding ways to win because we had a good offense. I would much rather have Meche in the 3 spot than Chacin who is at best a number 4 and a number 5 based on past performances and injury history. I think Lilly is a legit number 3 however doesn't have as much potential as Meche, is older, and will cost more money. Amazingly, at the contracts these pitchers are signing, AJ's contract of last year is gonna look like a bargain. We are paying him only 3 mil more a year than friggen Adam Eaton...this year he would've cost 70 mil. Instead of the 55 we signed him for.
  19. I think Burnett will bounce back. Towards the end of the season he was lights out. I think he went 7-2 with sub 3 era. We need one more legit starter, whether thats Meche, Lilly, or whoever. We could use both Lilly and Meche however...now THAT would be awsome. Me thinks our rotation will go like this Halladay Burnett ? Chacin Marcum, Janssen, Towers, Taubenhiem, McGowan, Whoever Although it would be much better if we had Halladay Burnett ? ? Chacin and then the rest of those guys can go to the minors where they can learn to pitch better. Because none of those guys are good enough to count on, even for the fifth starter slot. Although there are always trades...and I think JP is going to get another IF so they can platoon Clayton with someone else and have J-Mac as the backup.
  20. our pitching will be fine...we have a perenial Cy candidate, one of the best closers in the game and then aj burnett...damn never mind
