Current Jays Headlines

I got Mike Wilner to confirm it on JaysTalk. Me, me, everyone give me credit for the rumour. And a six figure income to boot.
Oh, and I call this joke before anyone else does:
"Wilkerson? But I hardly know her son!"
Gold, Jerry, gold!
Circle gets the square!
Why?
Is anyone else amazed to learn that Wilkerson is only 31?
Also, does this mean that JP is going to start negotiating with other Boras clients?
seriously, why Brad Wilkerson?
Did Buck Coats, that thoroughbread of spring training, sleep with JP's wife? Or maybe call him a pimp?
If we're going to go external, let's go impact, not retread who hasn't been any good for 4 seasons.
That's right, I said "we". I fucking hate guys who do that.
I love this move, because I miss the fucking Expos. Fuck, do I ever miss the Expos. They were always #2 to the Jays in my world, but I miss them. Wilkerson will be beautiful. While they're at it, they should go find Brad Fullmer too, unless he died from all the 'roids. Oh, and Michael Barrett, he would bring "character" to the clubhouse. And Youppi.
By the way, I'm drunk, and if you compare me to Griff for talking about the Expos, fuck you. Griff only brings up the Expos all the time because he wishes he was really a part of the Expos. He was a PR guy, so fuck him.
WTF! THIS is the lefty masher we were waiting for? His numbers are practically the same from both sides.
Where the fuck is Kevin Mench god damn it!!
All you negative dinks have it coming. Just you wait, Wilkerson will be the problem to this horrific offence.
I'm not enthusiastic about wilkerson. I guess he is cheap though.
BTW, he's .265/.363/.456 career as a lefty. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT A PLATOON LEFTY! We might as well have platooned Stewart and kept Lind.
I think wilkerson might be dying of roids. a lot of dudes are falling off.
So instead of bringing in somebody that could actually help our offense like Barry Bonds or Sammy Sosa, we bring in Brad Wilkerson, the guy who hasn't been a good hitter since the 2004 season.
I guess he'll be the one to provide character in the clubhouse and push this team over the top.
Wouldn't want to sell our souls or anything...
Brad Wilkerson = gay
the cum guzzling quotient just keeps climbing in the jays clubhouse
hey, he was "the last Expo" :P

YOUPPI!!!!!!!!!
Is anyone else as suicidal as I am today? Living in Ohio, seeing a game on tv for me is a major event. I endured 8 innings of offensive flaccidness last night, never giving up hope, even though I knew what the outcome would probably be. Vernon's homer = boneriffic, but it would be all too fitting for the game to end 3 - 2. But wait! It's tied! Holy shit. Rios triple leading off the 10th! This game is in the bag! Tied for 2nd! Life is good! No, life is shit. Why can't they get a runner in from 3rd with less than 2 outs? It's supposed to be the most fundamental thing in baseball. No one even made contact. Fuck me that was awful. I love these guys, but I hate this team.
What's interesting is that Billy Beane doesn't give a shit about player's makeup. Yet JP Ricciardi bends over backwards and takes it in the ass for guys like Wilkerson, when better players remain available due to their bad character.
Our offense blows. At least we're back in last, 4th was kida uncomfortable.
This team is brutal.
Wilkerson is a good guy?Good guys finish last!Does JP want to finish in 4th with good guys or make the playoffs with one "bad guy" ,Barroid.This shows you that JP is not hungry to win.The Marlins and the As are spending what half and one fifth of what JP spends and look at the results.Rogers and Godfrey must also understand that the Jays have fans that are sick of seeing the Yanks and the Sux win World Series and be in the playoffs every year,Wilkerson will not get them there.
This team is screwed because you have people like Wilner saying no smallball after the epic Rangers loss.Guess what?If you are an AL team,you need to score runs because the AL has teams that can hit.As for the Jays,they need to scratch out runs no matter what.They have an anemic offense so suicide squeeze to get in that run!They are not the Sux and the Tankees who have bashers and clutch guys that can do it so where does this team end up?4th place.They deserve to be in last,it's embarrassing with all this talent and all this pitching going to waste.
Brad fucking Wilkerson? Jesus. It fucking boggles my mind that Bonds is still sitting out there and the Jays FO is playing the moral card. The guy would be a perfect fit in the in the clean up slot. I know Rogers, Godfrey, JP et al don't want to shit where they eat but give me a break.
The Jays are going to have to start putting up some runs or this year is done. The pitching is fantastic but I'm not sure you can expect it to hold 'as is' for another 120+ games. Imagine if one of our starters go down for any extended period of time. Ugh. I just puked in my mouth.
I thought Matt Stairs was a professional hitter?
As much as we're still shitting on the offence, the bats are looking better and better.
Overbay is about to go on a tear. His two doubles last night were significant and both into the gap the other way. Wells is given'r. As soon as Rios and hill shake the cobwebs off look out.
As bullshit as the game was last night . .. and as fucking pissed I was . . . we took 5/7 on the homestand.
In addition, our pitching has been phenomenal (except for camp, who's scrotum was invaginated last night).
Wilkerson may be shit . . . and if he is big deal. We cut him loose. It's an avenue worth exploring though. At worst he can look mean.
People, the sun is shining on this team now. Brace yourselves because the bandwagon is about to get full.
p.s. "suicide squeeze the run in"?? what, with the infield drawn in almost to the mound??
Anyway, bullshit call in Stewarts AB last night.
p.s. you all owe me and Stoeten and our shitty heckling for that Percival meltdown . .. we were screaming at high decivals and it made quite a spectival.
"Gabe, pig in the city!"
"give up a run percival, this heckling is embarassing me! I need it to end!"
hahaha.
Did anyone watching on TV catch Rance talking about "staying within yourself" right before Rios cranked the triple in the 10th?
Rance is the king of comments that are intended to mean something . . . but ultimately mean nothing.
But, Daryl, if you don't stay within yourself you will die. Imagine if your lungs popped to the outside!! if it rained in that circumstance you would surely drown.
"What's interesting is that Billy Beane doesn't give a shit about player's makeup. Yet JP Ricciardi bends over backwards and takes it in the ass for guys like Wilkerson, when better players remain available due to their bad character."
Shea Hillenbrand, Troy Glaus, AJ Burnett, Scott Rolen, etc
The 'character' card is just one of the memes that JP tosses out to get the Griffinites to shut up for a minute.
This blog - and the comments - are amazing. First one I read was when you were discussing Naked Dream's canonical status. And now we've got 49 parts dick/homo jokes, 1 part "meme." I love it.
"The 'character' card is just one of the memes that JP tosses out to get the Griffinites to shut up for a minute."
Totally agree. This not signing Bonds thing has zero to do with character and everything to do with toeing the MLB party line. This is a Selig edict - spoken or not - that all good soldiers must obey. That's the only explanation that makes sense.
Anonymous said... GET RID OF ANONYMOUS COMMENTS!
Half of these guys rip on the team after a loss and then drive the bandwagon after a win. Either be a man and post your email address or don't post at all.
And if you don't have gmail you don't deserve internet. No internet for you, come back never.
Wilkerson is going to make a pro-rated league minimum. That's probably less than 1/10 what Barry would sign for.
They're taking a flier on Wilkerson and hoping that he hits at all better than Lind.
I think it's a decent move (assuming they're resigned to giving up on Lind for this season, as it seems). Wilkerson is a .255/.355/.450 15/60/60 candidate for league minimum.
yaksman, I'm fine with the Wilkerson move simply from a depth perspective (I.e. no bats on bench to PH late in games), but he's not the cure for what ails the Jays. Either JP brings in the bat that makes sense (aka Barry Lamar Bonds) or he decides to ride the pitching and go with what he has.
Note, I wish they'd just shit or get off the pot with Lind. More mashing in AAA isn't going to help his game any, IMO.
I don't think they're actually all that worried about the make-up of their offense. I think they're pretty sold on a lineup of Rios, Eckstein, Rolen, Wells, Overbay, Zaun, Hill, Stew and Stairs (in whatever order).
They're just not producing where they 'should' be. I think JP is looking for someone to plug in for depth and hopefully a spark to the offense, not a $10M overhaul to the offense.
And I agree, I don't think they're giving Lind enough time.
Brad Wilkerson projects as a .740 to .770 OPS hitter in various models at fangraphs. He's pointless, especially on a team with similar low ave./low power hitters.
Just pointless.

Beau,the infield was not drawn in to the point where a suicide squeeze was impossible!C'mon!Guess what a runner was stuck at third for three outs and what happened?They couldn't get him in,YOU USE ANYTHING TO SCORE THAT RUNNER.Do you think Madden expects one?No,so you do it and unsettle the pitcher catcher and score the run.Nothing was done AND they lost the game.
Also this current lineup is not solid enough to win the wildcard let alone the division or even third right now.What is painfully clear is that the Rays have better offense than the Jays,which leaves us to this 1-5 record against the Rays.JP has to improve the offense with an impact hitter because I don't see them in contention otherwise.They might be in contention for 4th place with the Os but that's it.The Jays are not a laughing stock yet,BUT that day is coming soon.JP wants "good guys' and he wants to finish last too,it seems.
not excited about Wilkerson, but we will get him for nothing. Might as well throw him against the wall for the next two weeks and see if he sticks.
Wells and Overbay are showing signs of coming around now. And in the ninth last night we had timely hitting from Rolen, Wells, Overbay and Hill. If we get those guys to start hitting in the clutch more, Wilkerson batting .237 or less wont hurt so much.
fuck that wilkermench
