New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 25, 2008 7:07 PM EDT
Doc goes for his 20th win tonight, lets get him some runs guys. Carl friggin Pavano pitching for the Yankees, he beat us once this year. We can't have that again. I see Jeter is still out of the line up for the Hankees and they are sitting Damon, ARod and Matsui. They also have a rookie catching Francisco Cervelli making his first major league start.
Zaun is in again for us, not sure why we don't let Thigpen start a few games, but I don't make out the line up cards. And Moonraker has been moved up a spot in the order, hitting in front of Zaun. Other than that it is pretty much our normal line up. Vernon is DHing tonight putting Rios in CF.
In other Jay's news it is official Cito will be back next year, he is signed thru 2010. I hope he will learn to take it a little easier on his pitcher's arms, but I won't hold my breath. JP says the fates of the other coaches will be announced this weekend, it's likely they all will get two year contracts as well.
I'll be late to get to the game thread, my boy has hockey, but I should be in for most of the game, come join me. Come on guys, let's get Doc his 20th!! Yeah I know it's a lame song for the game thread....give me a break, I got a cold.

hard double for Gardner....then a single for Cano....we are down one-zip
and snider’s throw allows Cano to go to second.

Rincewind, you the only one on here?
Feel free to come over to OTM. We need someone watching the MFY for us, and we can discuss the offseason and next year.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

It's a bit more fun to talk to other people.
I learned that a while ago.

That's true......I'm not sure I'm on for long....have to eat pretty quick here

Always necessary.
Drop by if you get bored.

Lind hits one hard....single.
if he is becoming a singles hitter I won’t be happy

good guys are winning so life is good

I was actually in Boston for the past few days
caught an episode of Sox Appeal. Definitely among the more ridiculous shows I’ve ever seen.
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
apparently there is a tie-in between the show and the NESN Sox broadcast
so during the game, the cameras will periodically check in on the daters and the announcers will make fun of the guy.

All I can think is I'd be busy watching the game and ignore the girl.......
while filling in my scorecard
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
ya, got them back last week
I passed, which was the main goal; but I actually did somewhat better than I thought I would, so I’m pretty happy

I'm not against us getting five more tonight
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:21 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I never am
especially against the Yankees
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah was nice to see pavano do crappy

hugo seems to think we ought to sign him.....
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
seems like one of those reach signings
where absolutely everything has to go right for it to work out
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah I really can't see it....I think next year if we sign someone it has to be someone we are sure will eat innings
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
and wouldn't be terribly expensive
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
there looks to be a decent number of FA starters
maybe the market will dip a little and allow us to grab someone without overpaying ridiculously
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah I'm thinking we ought to be able to afford someone.
If AJ leaves we need to get someone….if he doesn’t, it would be nice still
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah he'd be a good step up....not sure how much he'll want
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
wonder if he would give a home country discount?
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
maybe
though I somehow doubt it. The Leafs sometimes try to play that card to try and lure free agents, and are always rebuffed.
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he'll be looking for a substantial raise after the year he had this year
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
200+ innings....wonder if he'd take less than 10 mil?
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I was thinking in the 8-9 range
how much are the Jays going to have to spend?
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well there's 12 off the books for AJ (probably)
10ish more if we deal BJ, and 8 from Frank.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 25, 2008 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If AJ is gone....12 mill there, 10 from Thomas, 4 from eck
Zaun is what 3 or so, Stairs? I can’t remember
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
is BJ for Hardy likely to happen?
in that case, we would basically have 30mil to sign two or three starters
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Stairs was 2.5M this year and less next
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 25, 2008 9:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Thomas was 10 the first year, 8 the next, and 10 in the vesting year, I thought
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 25, 2008 9:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I was thinking more in the drop from this year....
we were about 100 mill this year, I think we are around 70 mill next year with the contracts we have….I am taking it for granted that we’ll stay close to 100 mill
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Dempster's FIP is 3.5
compared to Lowe’s 3.25, so Dempster should be less expensive than Lowe anyways. Have to love Lowe’s 60% grounder rate with our infield, right?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 25, 2008 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
do have to love the ground balls though.....
by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
if Lowe can be gotten for a reasonable price
he’d be a great fit, I would think
by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
95 pitch complete game
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 25, 2008 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he is great.....he really should be the Cy Young winner....but I guess it won't happen
