Does Alex Rios's contact rate tell us what
kind of 2009 he'll have? Does anybody care? Charts
are fun to look at/

A favorite hobby of The Blue Jays Doom
and Gloom Squad seems to be lamenting Scott Rolen's
contract. While I fail to see the point of magical rosterbation like this (if they weren't paying him X dollars, they could give it to MANNY!), I do understand why they complain about Rolen's ...

Taking a brief break from my usual grab-bag
of dick jokes and baseball statistics twisted into dick
jokes; I recently had the privilege of interviewing Canadian author Andrew Hood. Hood's first book, the short story collection Pardon Our Monsters, received the 2007 Danuta Gleed Literary ...

Ah yes, the holiday season is just around
the corner. Christmas, the celebration of capitalism raping your
soul, is only 36 days away! I think I'll go right to the horse's mouth, and decide what official Blue Jays merchandise is fit for gift giving this holiest of seasons.

I'm sorry Adam Lind, baby I didn't mean
it. I know you've heard about me coveting Billy
Butler, the first of many young things to shake their OPS at me. I'm only human sugar, but you know how I really feel. Adam Lind, you're the only one for me.

The fielding bible awards were announced today, and
despite the Blue Jays being one of the best
defensive teams in baseball, they were conspicuously absent from the list of winners. It's tough to argue most names on the list, but I'll place my homer blinders on and do it gladly.

I posed questions to the other GROFmen, asking
for their impressions of the Jays season. My probing
interrogation of their innermost thoughts went as follows: Personal highlight of 2008? Biggest letdown of 2008? JP stays - yay or nay? Enduring Image of 2008?

I'm not a bitter man (this is completely
untrue, I'm more bitter than a pint of Guinness
cut with Iodine), but the more I convince myself about the bad luck and/or general cosmic misalignment that caused the Jays to underperform their various expected records, the more I resent the Angels

They aren't kidding with this offseason stuff, are
they? Jays news has completely dried up, sham postseason
awards are being handed out (not to Rocco, which just ain't right) in celebration of players going from just okay to really good. Cliff Lee is determined to haunt my dreams.

Watching Yankee Stadium's last stand on Sunday night
made me feel...strange. It was a little like hooking
up with a strange girl after she's had a few too many drinks. She's wild, aggressive and unexpectedly starts into a filthy talk routine. Not standard-issue filth, she brings the racist

Two unlikely things undid the Blue Jays this
weekend: poor defense and rare bad outings from Scott
Downs. What is the story with Scott Downs these days anyway? Does the mystery lie within his BABIP?

The Minnesota Twins are the kid on your

dad would buy you beer all the time. Are they a good example of how to balance a budget? Yes, they are. But the Twins team that is competing for the Central division title, it just isn't that good. The ...

With the United States plunging deeper into recession,
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stated today that he
would consider cutting interest rates to combat inflationary factor AJ Burnett. The mercurial starter picked up his 16 win of the season last night, a new career high. Many leading economists see Burnett's 2008 performance as a "contract year mirage" and similar to the subprime ...

Loudly and proudly, the big lefty made a
bold statement: Lloyd the Barber is an idiot. I,
for one, agree. In his (my) defence, Brandon League is awesome. I claim complete ownership over his greatness. I am very much afraid of Gary Sheffield, in both a baseball sense and a public safety sense. Why am I longing for Eckstein? Plus Lloyd takes on Wednesdays with JP!

No sooner had Rocco Baldelli made his triumphant
return to the field, driving in runs and diving
to and fro with a determined ardor, does Scott Rolen head to the DL with further issues in his bionic left shoulder. What is an ironically detached, wins and losses don't matter, try-hard poseur to do? What's next? Brandon League pitching to contact? Alex Rios walking? I don't ask for much...

More to the point, I don't even know
what I think anymore. While I appreciate the translation
services to improve my understanding of JP's lies, and I can understand where the die-hards are coming from, I'm conflicted. When I read something aimless and critical of JP without reason other than sheer frustration, I get angry. What do you expect him to do? I agree with Geoff Baker , optics are ...
