OK Jimbo you asked for it
Err Um I really only have one word to say on this subject:-
ROUNDERS

This explanation of how to play the game of rounders--from The Boy's Own Book, 1828--is the earliest known description of a baseball-like game to appear in English. The name rounders was adopted in England in the early 19th century, but the game itself was at least a century older, and was known as "base-ball"!

Re: The Blue Jays
 

i am disputing my earlier claim...its not ALL about injuries but its a factor...right now, our ace starter and new ace reliever are sidelined as well as all starters but one...thats the pitching update...as for hitting, our cleanup guy is hitting abut .150 this year with RISP...the wild card spot is starting to look like more like a joker

Re: The Blue Jays
 

I noticed the Blue Jays have a new pitcher for tonight's game :

Help me out......how do you pronounce this last name ?

Rzepczynski

Re: The Blue Jays
 

Rzepczynski

don't pronounce the R - then it's zepsinski - doesn't quite roll off the tongue

Re: The Blue Jays
 

Rzepczynski

don't pronounce the R - then it's zepsinski - doesn't quite roll off the tongue yet .

Re: The Blue Jays
 

Thank you.

Re: The Blue Jays
 

yeah, or just go with Zep like most seem to

rhymes with Rluzinski (which we never had a problem with)

6 IP, 2H, ok...and wasn't tagged with the L, which is now a primary objective for each pitching staff member (ever since the curse was laid)

Re: The Blue Jays
 

farewell to our 'saviour'...lol

Re: The Blue Jays
 

dreams do come true..
lol

Re: The Blue Jays
 

Are the Jays throwing in the towel ? Or just hurtin' financially ? I heard today that they will discuss trade proposals for Halladay. I feel more and more guilty about inadvertently casting the curse.

Re: The Blue Jays
 

injuries/finances - curses..
sheesh...

Re: The Blue Jays
 

Less fans at the games for certain than some previous years. I blame it on the Matt Stairs trade ! lol !

And then again it may be the garbage strike ! :biggrin:

I was watching a Yankees game some night ago, at their brand new Stadium, it seemed to be full to capacity.

Re: The Blue Jays
 

This weekend in Baltimore we'll see if y'all can maintain that .500 record, LOL

Bill :)

Re: The Blue Jays
 

:(

Re: The Blue Jays
 

I wonder if there is a way to "Reverse The Curse" ? Maybe jj knows.

Re: The Blue Jays
 

JJ is off to Cape Breton/Nova Scotia for vaca...we can only hope he checks in soon...
;)

Re: The Blue Jays
 

Well, like usual, I should have kept my mouth shut. Brett Cecil ?? Shutout ? Ouch !

LOL

Bill :)

Re: The Blue Jays
 

tee hee...and with momma and daddy in the stands watching their hometown boy... so proud!

It was a happy homecoming for Cecil, who grew up in Dunkirk, Md., and played for the University of Maryland before being drafted by Toronto in the first round of the 2007 draft.

:kiss:
:biggrin:
:clap:

Re: The Blue Jays
 

Char,
Three tough games and a good series. I have a few extra tickets for the last weekend which is another Toronto/Baltimore matchup (3 Oct. 09) if you and Lisa would like to pop down. I'd like to hope we'd be fighting it out for first place but that may not happen this year. LOL
Peace,

Bill :)

Yankees, Beaners and (Devil) Rays fans need not comment, LOL. (I've heard 'em all)

Re: The Blue Jays
 

c'mon up for the Tampa/Jays games in August !
lol
with the weather being so cool, and the Jays playing so badly I"m finding myself wishing for hockey season..
lol
and we all know how much I hate winter...

Re: The Blue Jays
 

oh yeah right ? October games in Baltimore can get chilly (they can also be hot ) and my seats are so near the top it CAN get blustery, LOL.

Bill :)

Re: The Blue Jays
 

not sure but their GM continues to make the Leafs former GM (John Ferguson Jr) look like a genius

young, former all star and HR competition finalist, Rios is gonzo (yes, dreams do come true, char!:) ) ...watch, he'll likely tear up the ball and throw out a pile of runners in Chicago ...and it's really not all that important to know how many outs there are, if in doubt, just play as if there are less than two

I miss watching Scott Rolen, a guy any fan would like to call their own...for an unquick player, he was a league leader in grounding into fewest double plays, so reliable and professional, an old fashioned role model

if we can ever get even a bag of pucks for Wells, I'd bet he also goes and hits up a storm elsewhere...of course he'll also K or hit a dribbler chasing balls 2 feet out of the strike zone with runner on third and less than 2 outs when you're looking for a tying run

regardless of the 26-46 slide, always fun watching Hill (league leader in total bases), Lind, Scutaro, Romero...oh, and that Roy guy

ps) Argoooooooos...

Re: The Blue Jays
 

I was stunned that the Blue Jays let him go for absolutely nothing, not even a single A prospect. Why in the world did they ever sign him to that contract in the first place? Oh well, he's the White Sox problem now. Should make his debut today.

Re: The Blue Jays
 

JPRiciardi is an ass.
He HAS to go.
NOW.

I miss Rolen, love Hill, Lind, Scutaro, Doc...
Rios can be great..just watch him.
Not even a bag of balls did we ask for..jaysus...

Loved last weekends Back2Back events with the '92 and '93 World Series teams back in town. Omigawd I had several teary moments..I loved those guys.
