cito-gaston Stories - Bluebird Banter
We should have Cito Gaston Day more often. Jays beat Yankees.
Yankees 4 Blue Jays 8 Now that was a game that's start, middle and end was perfect. A great and very well deserved tribute to Cito. Very nice to see Joe Carter, George Bell and Pat Hentgen again. Then the game starts and the Jays score early and often. The 9th inning starts out a little rough, the...
Share your favorite Cito moment.
Since we are celebrating Cito today I thought we'd ask folks for their favorite Cito moment. It might be something in person or something during a game or a quote or whatever you would like but share with us. I mentioned mine in a game thread, but when we were in Boston, we came earlier for the...
Appreciating Cito Gaston
Since it is Cito Gaston Appreciation Day, I thought we should talk about what Cito does well. We point out things he doesn't do well quite often enough. I got an email awhile back (one of those that is the internet equivalent of a letter written in crayon) complaining that Cito was "a proud black...
Does Cito Belong in the Hall of Fame?
Last Friday, in the Star, Dave Perkins wrote that Cito belongs in the Hall of Fame. I really hadn't thought about it much, so let's take a look and have a poll. There are only 20 people that have been elected to the Hall as manager, fewer than I figured there would be. The latest was Whitey Herzog,...
So what sort of manager would you like?
Hotstove.com sent out a question to Jay bloggers asking 'is Cito Gaston the right manager for the Jays at this moment?' Both Hugo and I answered back 'no'. You can see the answers here. So what would we like to see in a manager for the Jays? Well, first, we have a lot of young pitchers who will...
Backing Slightly Away From the Ledge, A Calmer Look at the Jay's Coaching Changes
Occasionally, when I go to bed, I know what I'm going to write about the next morning. Last night I felt that I, and the rest of the Blue Jay blogosphere, over-reacted to changes in the coaching staff. So they kept Cito as manager for another year. It is possible for a team with Cito at manager to...
Cito To Fans, 'We Aren't Winning This Year'
I'm late on this one but do you think someone in the PR department could talk to Cito about how he speaks to the press. Here is a Cito quote: "My gut is that I think Doc wants to be on a winning team," Gaston said. "He's probably sitting there looking at A.J. [Burnett] out there pitching [for the...
Lose Brad Arnsberg for One Season of Cito Gaston? Who Thinks That's a Good Trade Off?
So what do we think about Cito staying and Arnsberg going? Our friends at Tao of Stieb and The Drunks very clearly hate it. And they are right. We all have been working under the theory that Cito and Brad couldn't work together another year. One of them had to go. Since Brad Arnsberg came to the...
Would You Fire Cito Gaston?
Last week in his 'Mail Bag' Richard Griffin suggested that Alex Anthopoulos should fire Cito. I ignored it at the time because he suggested Buck Showalter as the replacement on the fairly flimsy evidence that Alex had talked to Showalter at some time. Now I'd love Showalter to be hired as the...
The Players are Revoting
Update again: Mike Wilner is saying that at least 10 players on the team don't like Cito. And I've retitled it because, well that should have been the title in the first place. The Globe and Mail has picked up this story from the Canadian Press saying the players are unhappy with Cito Gaston. I...
