OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[Deckie007]

I want to go to bed.

 

[Metalleaf]

Jays > Mets

 

[Deckie007]

It's over. Congrats to the Royals. Best team in the post season by far.

 

[Metalleaf]

Helps when you have a magic horseshoe wedged up the ass.

 

[Deckie007]

Nah, a shutdown BP and being able to hit the ball hard everywhere isn't luck. There's some BABIP luck maybe, but you don't get that many hits purely on horseshoes. They are also the best base running team I've ever seen, and they make few mistakes in the field.

 

[Metalleaf]

I said "helps".

Kudos to the Royals, I was almost certain they'd beat the Mets from the start. Should have put money on it. Great team, one of the best all season long and relentless throughout the playoffs. They deserved it.

 

[Metalleaf]

They real MVP

 

[Wayward DP]

Yeah, Royals were a juggernaut. They deserved it, big time.

2 pm is the Shapiro press conference.

 

[CH1]

Bautista and EE traded for pitching prospects at 2:03 and 2:12 respectively.

If Shapiro doesn't say "our goal is to win the World Series next year" a bunch of times, the he's dumber than a tree stump - which I don't think he is.

Tony LaCava is the new GM of the Jays.

Tony LaCava is the new GM of the Jays.

Not surprised but I would have wagered that he'd follow AA into his next gig.

 

[LeafGm]

Tony LaCava is the new GM of the Jays.

Somewhere down in California, Dave Nonis is having a serious sense of deja vu.

I'd be more excited about this hire if the word interim wasn't attached to it.

 

[Hoss]

I have reports that says he has been assigned as "interim GM".

This morning on the radio they said there was some guy from Cleveland that Shapiro has offered to other teams in the past as a GM.... Would laCava be interim until this other guy showed up?? and then LaCava would be AGM?

 

[axlsalinger]

It's on.
