Fucking Awesomeness: 9 Runs in 5 Games..

I would like nothing more then to rip John Farrell apart right now (as really, that was the whole reason this blog was even created) for the monumental shit show this team continues to produce on a nightly basis but in reality, this team is a complete embarrasment.. There is no talent on this team (with the exception of Yunel Escobar, Brandon Morrow, Ricky Romero, Jose Bautista, and Adam Lind who I'm not completely sold on to be a starting 1B in a division as tough as the AL East) and yet were stuck here watching these scrubs contiunally fail over and over and over again...

A review of the shit on this roster:

Aaron Hill - I actually think I hate Aaron Hill more than anyone on this fucking shit show of a roster.. The guy fields his position alright but other then that he's completly useless and I'm happy to say good riddance to the guy after this season is over.. The question now becomes, who the fuck is going to play 2B for this team in the future..On a side note, I wouldn't have minded trading David Purcey (which somehow Oakland did) for a potential/future 2B in Scott Sizemore.. Atleast the guy can taking a fucking walk and isn't a former shell of his shitty self from 2009.. Look for a potential trade in the near future for a ML 2B this year, Anthopolous has expressed interest in Kelly Johnson in the past..

Rajai Davis - Wow.. How bad has Rajai Davis looked in the month of June.. The guy is 4 for his last 47 AB's with no freaking walks.. And he's not even getting unlucky at with his BABIP or any bullshit like that.. He has no ability to get on base via the walk and has no eye at the plate which leads to him striking out on pitches that are consistently out of the strike zone.. The guy is a 4th OF in this league at best, and yet we continually pencil his name in the fucking lineup setting the guy up for failure.. Makes all you idiots realize how stupid it was sending down Snider for 80 (OK) plate appereances when it was supposed to be "his" year to figure out the Major League level..

Jayson Nix - Is this a fucking joke.. What am I missing here???? Nix is batting .176 with a .574 OPS and he doesn't even play a good defensive 3B.. And yet, he's playing everyday.. This was is on Anthopolous here for not calling up Lawrie because ownership is too cheap to pay a potential fucking SUPER 2 player.. And now, Lawrie is out till atleast the end of July it looks like and most likely won't see ML playing time until he becomes a September callup.. All over some fucking money.. Well done Anthopolous and Rogers... WELL fucking DONE..

Juan Rivera/Corey Patterson - Both should be traded to make room for the kids down in Vegas, but yet, Anthopolous is too worried about keeping there service time down at the ML level which is probably why Cecil and Snider were sent down when they were (to fucking save money).. Both are pretty much shit players that have no use to the team (as they won't be compensation free agents). Therefore, now is as good a time as any to trade them for some low-level prospects with no future... Hell a bucket of baseballs for either of them would do, just so the kids can come up and develop at the Major League level

Bulpen Arms - Any of these bulpen arms (who will probably all be comp B free agents) should potentially be traded if the price is right just like last year.. If not, keep em around, offer them arbritration, have them decline, and pick your compensation pick and draft another fucking Daniel Norris (who was probably the best LHP in the draft)... And for the love of god, lets build a bulpen from the crazy amount of arms we have in our system. Guys like Jannsen, R-Zep, Richmond, Mills, Farquhar, Abreu, Uviedo, and even potentially dare I say it, McGowan are just as good or better then the fucking scrubs we have in our bulpen right now. Building a bulpen off FA signings is just retarded considering the "budget" this team seems to be on.. (even though I understand the general premise behind signing compensation FA's to recieve the picks but still, just a complete waste of fucking money that could be spent on something more useful.)

On the bright side, there's always another game tomorrow... The Blue Jays will take on RHP Brandon Beachy who's just coming off the DL with a strained oblique.. Game time 1:10 on RSN...

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox Recap: The EPIC SHIT SHOW


Well... That was fucking embarrasing.

The Boston Red Sox, who were coming into town riding a six game win streak including a sweep against the Yankees in the Bronx, made the Toronto Blue Jays look like as Carlos Zambrano would put it "a AAA team." The Blue Jays were outscored on the weekend series 35-6 by the red hot Red Sox and will get the day off tomorrow before the Baltimore Orioles come into town for a three game set.

A few thoughts and observations to ponder:

  • The only fucking positive of the weekend.. The Man, The Myth, The Beard.. (BTW, this is a good way to promote Jose Bautista's attempt to start in the All Star Game in July. As of right now he currently leads all players in votes but Granderson looks to be catching him.. So, if you aren't voting for Jose 25 times, then what the fuck are you doing with your life.. VOTE FOR JOSE...



  • Well, I was at the game Friday night (what an awful game that was by the way) and I am thinking to myself, it sure would be fucking nice to have some lefties other than Lind and Patterson on this team especially against the righty specialist Clay Bucholz.. So I guess what I am insinuating here is, when the fuck are we gonna give up on these scrubs (Hill, Rivera, Nix/Encarnacion) and bring up some of the kids from Vegas(already fucking loss that chance with Lawrie until atleast August it would seem). When do I get to see Thames, Snider and possibly Cooper get some Major League at-bats so they can stop being these "AAAA" people seem to think they are..

  • Kyle Drabek.. Many of you are already calling for his demotion and that's a valid opinion..LinkBut I am going to have to take Zaunie's opinion on this matter. At this point in Drabek's career, I feel as though he's got nothing else to learn in AAA (like possibly Snider for fuck sakes) and the only kid of signifcant development that needs to occur for Drabek to be a successful pitcher at the Major League level will have to have in the Major. So for right no, be patient with Drabek (I know the walks are just fucking awful) but in the end, the whole point of this season is letting he young players develop at the Major League level to where they can contribute to a potential playoff run in a few years.. (or atleast that's the mindset management wants us to beleive).
  • Finally, WHEN THE FUCK IS TRAVIS SNIDER GETTING CALLED BACK UP...
Enjoy your day off tomorrow... Also, for your viewing entertainment.. A video that I can't stop watching...
