Matt Stairs Is Not A Fan Of Technological Advancement

Unless you employ a particular brand of eye wear that magically shades your vision from over-played stories in the media, you are no doubt aware that, from now on, video replay will be used in Major League games to decide if disputed home runs are called fair or foul.

Whoop-de-fucking-doo, right?

Well, Matt Stairs might choose other words to describe his thoughts. In fact, according to John Lott of the National Post, Stairs "used a picturesque term for horse excrement to summarize his reaction."

The issue brings up an important question that has plagued many of the other professional sports organizations prior to baseball implementing this rule change: Can semen be considered excrement?

29 rational and reasonable comments:

Excrement is waste that the body forces out. Semen has to be cajoled out. I voted not excrement.

Speaking of excrement, let's beat the Rays tonight shall we? Hopefully Rolen plays and hits some bombs.

rolen not in lineup. why not?

SP said...

Dont know. Cito said he's play today.

An example of why Wilner can be a nerd.

"With our technology we should have robot umps." - Wilner

"Fuck that shit" - Blue Jays

he's still busy working on his new swing that's going to give him even less power.

'cajoled'

SP said...

Jesse Litsch, welcome to the world of Roy Halladay.

Ian H. said...

So I'm assuming that since Stairs isn't a fan of technology, he probably also doesn't like Base Wars on the NES. Just sayin' ...

I don't believe Rios et. al. study tapes or work on batting pitchers who give them trouble. The shit Jay batters look the same against pitchers who give them trouble time after time...they never seem to figure ANYTHING out....only if a pitcher is weak or ailing or totally off do they seem to be able to do anything.

Are things at the point where we can be happy if the Jays aren't shut out by Tampa ?


I think it might be, and that's pretty fucking sad

I'm already getting tired of Bautista and his Gibbon-esque negative vibes (loserism ?)

Nice 1 Scoots

Not that Bautista is Adam Lind, but he is clearly making those 1 for 19, i'm trying to impress swings.

Well, let's start the Travis Snider era then.

Come on, you c-suckers can't be sleeping right now, when the Jays have announced they have a deal in place for Stairs, all but admitted to the same for Eckstein, and are promoting the future of the franchise, with intentions to rotate him and Lind through LF and DH? This is boners.

Julie said...

WTF are you talking about?
