be considered for a 2009 rotation spot? Why?
The player in the attached photo is the
first in our series on the best free agent
signings of the 2009 off-season.
In today’s Star, Cathal Kelly absolutely nails it
as he writes an obituary of sorts. In the
article he reminisces on AJ’s time in Toronto and airs some dirty laundry that some of us may or may not know. Here is a telling quote:
Ok. AJ has officially left us. What are
we to do? JP’s used car lot is in
full swing, buying an arm in Clement with 600,000+ km’s on it and trying to sell it back to Jays fans as good as new. Well he hasn’t done it yet, but he will. And it’s not a lie if he knows the truth, right?

a washed-up pitcher.
When they meet on December 8th, the Veteran's
Committee should vote for pre-1943 ballot star Sherry Magee
inclusion the baseball hall of fame.
Not long ago Kman and I had a
discussion about Greg Maddux’s career. I argued that Maddux

2008 or fall back into his trend of inconsistency?

What does Logan Morrison have in common with
Albert Pujols? Which former MLB stars son is leading
the AFL in SB? These questions and more answered in this weeks edition of AFL player prospect bios.
A while back I read a post on
our friends Drunk Jays Fans’ blog in regards to
bloggers being fans and nothing more. Basically the gist of it is bloggers are hacks because we do not have the same access to the team that writers have. Con't....
For today’s post, we delve into our mailbag
to come up with a question in regards to
a long-time obsession of mine. Callum, it is no secret you have a mancrush on Gregg Zaun and your love for him is well documented on this website. With Gregg filing for free agency, the Jays have to let Zaun ...
