Do you have a young, talented cost controlled player having a down year who's "attitude" has cased problems with an aging player or manager?

Don't worry, I Alex Anthopoulos will take him off your hands, I'll even give you some moderately useful veterans that will "help you make a playoff run".

ok – so wins don’t matter, right? funny, I thought the team with the most wins gets the championship. its one thing to comfort oneself with advanced stats when you’re team year after year loses, its another to think that at the end of day, they are all that matter. Wins matter, you don’t get them, all the stats in the world won’t manifest in a ring.

lets use a slightly different example. The highest scoring hockey team, the Oilers, had goalies (Fuhr and Moog), that had GAA that were not in the top ten. Did not matter, because they kept their teams in the game close enough for their offence to win. They won multiple championships.

Just be careful. I know you didn’t say it but even if it’s in quotes, you still gotta follow our guidelines…

It's not like KG hasn't given them reason to.

Going from two outs and nobody on to giving up the winning basehit is going to set any fans up in arms

In honor of the Jays 2nd Baseman who played with fire in more ways than one.

To be fair to the guys at CC

What they’re typing is what I was feeling when KG pitched the 9th for the Jays.

True...that was a deja vu appearance

…with 2 outs …walk, hit batter, passed ball and 2 hits…did he ever do that all in 1 inning here. That is tough to take.

Last game he ever pitched for Toronto against Minnesota, Oct 2, 2010

Gives up leadoff double.

Gets two quick outs.

Implodes. Twins score two runs for the win
