Shayd you may be right but i think facing Major Leauge batters might acclerate his arrival as starter remember Nolan Ryan and Jim Palmer spent thier first in the bigs in the bullpen

Yes, but I don't think anyone is trying to make the comparison of Tyson Ross to Nolan Ryan or Jim Palmer. He's a plus plus starting prospect, and the A's have started his service time essentially for nothing.

Seriously, don't they pull like 5k a game? It just brought back a memory about why some Candian clubs folded; the players demand American dollars Although I thought the Candian dollar was worth more than ours now.

Just a random timbit here: The Jays got 50,000 to their home opener. Of course, they lost, but still. Back in the day when they were the best team in the world, they set attendance records. But you young whippersnappers wouldn't know a thing about that.
 
oh i'm not compairing Tyson to anyone just pointing out that starters in the minors have spent time in the bullpen when starting out in the Majors as a matter of fact that's how many broke in way back in the day

i remember when the Jays drew 3+ million fans that would be the front of the 90's

Dodgers aren't playing great, but at least the Jays are 6-2!!!!!!! Will they be in 1st until June again, then all of a sudden drop to the bottom of the division?

Cmon now, Joe Mauer is #2. Although the title of 2nd best player in the MLB changes every year with the constant being Pujols at the top.

Well, that's what I was waiting to hear from Yumi. I agree with your take completely.

The one and only.
Damn, that's how Marmol needs to close out every game. Three straight Ks against the Brew Crew's heart of the order: Hart, Braun, and Fielder. Suddenly, we're back to .500 for the first time all year. This was a win that helps build that "Cubby Swagger." I have my broom ready for tomorrow!

The thorn in our side continues to be Soriano. Once again, he misplays a fly ball and allows another run to score. The boos are getting louder every time he bats and makes a mistake. He's not hitting well right now which just makes him a liability. Hendry really fucked up on that deal. His contract is so big that we can't even dump him.

Sometimes I think that the Yankees and Red Sox drug the water in Toronto every year. Like, look at it; Toronto always starts off respectable, fills their fans full of hope, and all of a sudden they start playing like a bunch of grandmas with scorpions in their vaginas.

everybody underestimates the Marlins because of thier low payroll they need to stop that. The Marlins have a very talented roster and even more coming through the minors

No doubt. I have a real good feeling about this season. Maybe we can extend our all time playoff record to 9-0 :D

Jays played in front of another 1/5th full Rogers Centre. Sheesh.
 
^^^No worries the Jays get another Giants castoff in Fred Lewis aka K-Fred (you'll see why) he is sure to be a big draw. Did MLB do the Jackie tribute by confusing everybody once again and having every single player wear #42? Great idea Bud. In honor of Jackie I will be tepid in my DODGERS SUCK DODGERS SUCK DODGERS SUCK chanting.
 
i hope the jays didn't give anybody up for Lewis he was going to be released soon as the giants have way to many outfielders and not enough playing tome for them plus he is decling so fast that even a 18 year old hurt pitcher would be to much to trade for him

I guess the Disastros won't go 0-162 after all. :D

SIDE QUESTION: Anybody here doing MLB.TV on the web? Is it worth it? It's pretty expensive ($199) so I am reluctant to go for it. Any input appreciated.
 
Twins go to league leading 9-3 today behind another Rauch save.

Fuck, our lineup is crucial. Announcers said our 7th guy today (Kubel) could've been the Royals clean up man.

Cudduyer, Kubel, Morneau, Mauer, Span, Thome, Hardy. We have a deadly lineup this year. :thefinger Now if only Liriano can come around and Blackburn doesn't pitch like he did today.
