LXQ42 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 quite impressed with Jesse Litch's outing yesterday...I think he's going to be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Same old shitty Towers tonight.How many men did they leave on base tonight? It had to be over 10. Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Why do they keep pitching him? Hes so bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Who else are you going to put in at #5? No one on the farm is ready and AJ is still 'hurt'. All they want from Towers is an even record. Gibbons should have pulled him when the game was tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well thats my other problem. Gibbons gets his free ride too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The Jays problems this year hasn't been their starting pitching. It's been their injuries to key players and their terribly inconsistent batting. Having Ryan out for the season was a huge blow too. Imagine having Acardo setting up Ryan after yanking Towers after the 5th? I'm glad Overbay and Johnson are back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Honestly, I think they need a shake-up at coaching. Gibbons just hasnt delivered. Theres always excuses for him. Nothing personal against the guy, and I know injuries paly a key role, but he just hasnt achieved anything. All these losses and all he says is "we just need to put together a winning streak." Its like, no shit. A winning streak, eh? You aint as slow as ya sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The thing is, Gibbons can't hit for these guys. I'm not sold on him as a manager that can take you to the next level, but there's other problems on this team more glaring than the manager. Also, the Jays aren't as deep as the Yanks and the Red Sox, so injuries have played a major part in their average record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Ya, but c'mon. By that rationale a coach would never get fired ever. The team needs a spark. New coach might do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Jaime Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Jaime Campbell.At least we wouldn't have to listen to him anymore. I think that Rod Black should stick to figure skating, he's even worse than Campbell.Looks like that about wraps up any chance at the post-season.

Whitey Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Great game last night, Accardo was throwing some great pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Accardo is just a kid too. His recent blown saves will make him a better pitcher in big situations like in NY and Boston in the near future... and there's no way Black is worse than Campbell - although they are 1-2 in the bad charts. Jamie is the worst play-by-play man since Fergie Oliver, a man he 'accidently' quotes from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXQ42 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Great bats the last couple of games vs. Minnesota. Dustin Mc Gowan was on fire tonight. I think he has some great years in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 The Jays pitching is fine and the future looks bright indeed. The best deal J.P. didn't make was panic when A.J. and Chacin went down. Marcum, McGowan and even the much maligned Towers have been good in their absence and Chacin in particular should be traded. Incidently, all three of J.P.'s free agent starting pitcher singings at the start of the season have been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I am definately stoked about the Jays future pitching, not just from the past five games but in general over the season. The young guns have shown they can dominate and while they don't do it all the time they are still young and will harnass their goodness to be extremely consistent...I can smell it.What the Jays shouldn't do is fool themselves into thinking they can make the playoffs this year and become buyers or stand-stillers at the trade deadline. Trade away Thomas or Glaus or whoever for a nice prospect or three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I cant see them trading to make a run. That would just be stupid. Sell. Sell. Sell.If you dont see anyone move it's because JP wasnt happy with the offer received. Plain and simple. But IF he trades and thinks they can go for it I will call for his head unless the playoffs are theirs to be had.Call me crazy but there is a strong link in my eyes between how the Jays have to handle things and how Les Habs have had to handle things year in, year out for the last few of them. A part of me is surprised that I have never seen an editorial piece proposing that theory. If there has been, forgive me.If not. PM me to remind me to get off my ass and write it. I'm too drunk and lazy to do it myself at the moment (including reminding myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXQ42 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I can't see them trading either, but I would not get on the selling train. I think they have a great team, with a good combonation of youth and experience. If they don't make the playoffs this year, (I know, it's likely they won't, but I keep the faith.) I would make a few trades or sell offs...Chacin for one, and maybe getting a better batting catcher, and try to fill the rest of the rotation out.Thomas, Stairs, Glaus...I'd keep 'em all. Burnett too, and Ryan...injuries didn't allow them to show their full potential.Ok, is it just me, or does anyone else long for the days when we had Orlando Hudson at second and Hill at Short? Where's Tony Fernandez when we need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I disagree with keeping Stairs. If someone out there actually wants to trade something useful for him, I say DO IT!! Sure he has been playing well, but let's keep things in perspective. It's Matt Stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cully Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 We should trade the big hurt. He sucks and blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he has been playing well, but let's keep things in perspective. It's Matt Stairs.I like Stairs. I don't think he should be the first baseman, he has a hole in his glove you could drive a truck through, but keep him as a DH or PH. I like his bat, he's one of few left handed batters we have, and besides, he's a Canadian boy who wants to play in Toronto.
