OT - I'm bored, Part Pangos & Bell!

$100 parlay on that outcome would have paid out like $315,000

/just though some degenerates would like to know

Don't forget about the inveterates out there.

You can now refer to them as the AL East leading Toronto Blue Jays

As if the Jays needed more help, Sonny Grey was scratched from today's start.

I gotta be honest, I'm a little disappointed Jays fans haven't broken out the "Thank you Lawrie clap clap clapclapclap" chant during this series.

It's not Lawrie's fault every person in the media put the "Maple Hero" title on his white ass and thought he was going to be in the league of Trout and Harper in terms of young stars. Most Jays fans got that.

this thread could use a "sick sauce toss" video

Wait Ryan Goins hit a home run? The hell?

I was referring more to his antics and putting himself before the team - Pretty clear his teammates were tired of his act and his ego. Billy Beane got taken to the woodshed by AA on that trade.

Las Vegas oddsmakers are currently listing the Blue Jays as World Series favorites with 4-1 odds.

Not arguing it's not a lopsided trade, but it's also worth noting that his teammates all sucked and the team was terrible and Joey is a bigger loudmouth than Lawrie ever was. I wonder how he feels about Reyes today?

Of course, it's probably pretty easy for a 23 year old to get an ego when your face is plastered on every billboard in the city and you're starring in Rogers commercials despite the fact you're yet to do anything of consequence in your big league career. Blame the Jays organization for that one.

I think it pretty much just poured gasoline on a fiery ego to begin with - There were multiple reports from Milwaukee that not very many tears were shed when the Jays acquired Lawrie from the Brewers organization (in fact, they were pretty happy to see him move on).

Can you tell I'm not a big fan of Lawrie?

That's the team that had the MVP who failed a PED test, got off on a technicality, then managed to fail another test, right? And had a GM who was there for 13 seasons despite making the playoffs twice?

Yeah, I'll pass on their character judgements.

He's up to bat next lol

For a guy who's planning to retire at season's end, Buerhle is lookin' damn good.

Feel free to rip on them more. They're a joke (although some of their moves this trade deadline were decent). They were a small market who went "all in" for one year, which fine, it paid off in that they brought back baseball fans and attendance soared, but man it hurt them long run. Last year they were very flawed, and it ended up with them free falling out of the playoffs by the end. Now they're in a fairly ugly place...but they may have some stellar arms in the next few seasons.
