| An Archetypal Preview of the East Powers
March 8, 2007 00:36:21 Just like on every famous baseball movie you ever saw, the winner of the American League (East) is going to play out on how these archetypal players figure into the action.
THE GRIZZLED VETS
The Yankees have Mussina and Pettite as their best pitchers, and an entire lineup of geezer all-stars outside of third, short and second [...] - [Read more] |
| Jays and Pirates…A Sinking Feeling
March 6, 2007 04:59:28 For every step forward the Jays take this spring, there appears to be a step back, or as occurred in today’s case, several.
In today’s forgettable 8-8 overtime tie the important things to remember are:
1. Josh Towers appears conifdent and had an excellent outing by his standards. Yeah, he gave up a homerun, but it [...] - [Read more] |
| First week concerns…
March 4, 2007 14:06:16 Spring is the season for boundless optimism, but pessimists rejoice! There is indeed some ill feeling about certain difficulties in camp thus far.
Here are three of the (somewhat) biggies in this author’s eyes:
Problem 1: Sore Wings for the Birds (source: Globe and Mail’s baseball blog.)
One of Toronto’s major strengths this season (perhaps one of the [...] - [Read more] |
| 1 year wonders could be the difference
February 28, 2007 15:45:50 As spring training slowly but deliberately begins its renaissance from the dreary offseason, there is one type of the player out there that isn’t picking lint from his uniform.
That would be those of the one-year or minor league varitety longshot, a somewhat rare and odd species the Jays have managed to sign plenty of to [...] - [Read more] |
| Jay’s Preview–A Cast of castaways
February 2, 2007 09:05:45 Perhaps, in the process of the slow joy-killing ending to last year’s season, you may have played the what if …game.
You know, like what if …Toronto had Burnett and Chacin the whole season.
Or, what if… Glaus had played the same way he did before smacking into Hill when he was playing short.
Or what if …Ted [...] - [Read more] |
| All is Wells for Christmas for the Jays
December 14, 2006 08:55:11 It isn’t the holiday eggnog talking, I swear. The Birds are on the right track, perhaps for the first time since Jimmy Stewart jumped off the bridge (well, maybe not that long, since the Birds weren’t around in that glorious era).
What? You say they struck out on two major free agent pitching acquisitions and are [...] - [Read more] |
| “Moneybags” Ricciardi playing fast and loose
November 17, 2006 10:11:23 Well, right after I come out and say the Jays are going to have a fairly light offseason they come out and immediately put a “Big Hurt” on that idea.
10 million a season for a guy that isn’t lefty nor a number 2 pitcher?
Not that I have anything against this sudden development of [...] - [Read more] |
| This Just In…
November 8, 2006 08:27:49 Well, thank your lucky Christmas stockings the payroll isn’t a lump of coal. Apparently, it’s more like a sweater from grandma–useful to keep you warm, but not very sexy.
Drum roll, please….The new payroll is “around” 90 million dollars. Not as much as some would like (re: me)
but not an unreasonable extra piece of change.
So, according [...] - [Read more] |
| Enjoy the Outdoors
November 3, 2006 08:27:08 After that debacle of the World Series, (does being able to bunt and field REALLY win championships now?!! You know, by themselves?!) for the love of all things holy, get outside.
It’s time to go out and get the benefit of those last few days of October sunshine with your loved ones. To frolic in the [...] - [Read more] |
| Detroit’s Win Was Predictable–but Not for the Experts
October 17, 2006 08:29:27 All the critics of the Tigers (heretofore referred to as experts, heh) would love it if the team would just come out and say what all the experts are feeling about them: We are lucky to be here. We’re simply on a hot streak. Who knew?
Sadly enough, they have (It’s called being gracious). But to [...] - [Read more] |
