Cully Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Accardo needs to go back to the minors for a while. I am so happy the benched Thomas as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 The Frank Thomas era in Toronto has come to an end.TSN has learned that the 39-year old designated hitter has been released by the Blue Jays, one day after being benched by the team.Thomas was batting .167 in 16 games, with three homers and 11 RBI this season.More details to follow.

Jaimoe Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 If Stairs can do what he did last year, then the Jays won't have to look to sign another big ticket DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Good move to get rid of the guy if he was gonna bitch and moan. He wasn't playing well, sure, and he will play better most likely later in the season but if he is going ruin the locker room then forget it.

djmelbatoast Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I think everybody looks bad here.Thomas comes off as a dick in the clubhouse, but Riccardi comes off as a dick too. Just because someone complains they get fired? Not even traded fired.Now I'm not saying it's a bad move, it was just done without any tact.

Jaimoe Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Does anyone remember how bad Frank batted in the first half of last year? If he had a steady batting year, they would have made more noise down the stretch. The Jays can't afford to have him "potentially" do the same thing this year; there's more on the line.

afro poppa Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I don't think JP comes off as a dick at all. Did Ortiz complain when he was benched for hitting terribly? No, he came back and played well. JP did was best for the team, like any GM should do and thats stop a problem before it starts. Namely having Thomas being a jerk in the dressing room...

LXQ42 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) I guess the biggest question I have with all of this is what now to do in left. They had Scutaro out there today, and what do they do for the season? What's up with Stewie? Stairs? They can't have just given Stewart the last 2 games off for no reason. Same with Stairs. Perhaps it's time for Lind. Edited April 21, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Good thing they got rid of Johnson, eh?Had to make room for a shitty player like Scutaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Lind's good enough to be in the Bigs. I'm glad he's going to get called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have no idea what you just said there. To me, the Jays dont have the cahones to make up for lost time later in the season. Its been the same shit for the past 5 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have no idea what you just said there.There's too many games and baseball is far too boring for you cumquats to be paying attention in April.And there's playoff hockey going on ladies.

Hal Johnson Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 No way, April's the best! Wait all winter for it! Got the fantasy leagues going, guys still making roster changes. Its mid summer when you stop caring; when half the league has been eliminated from playoff contention and no one gives a shit about their fantasy teams anymore. Then you pick it up again at the end of August. Thats baseball. It how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
