Jays Grow A Hoffpauir
The Toronto Blue Jays claimed second baseman Jarrett Hoffpauir off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday.
In order to make room for Hoffpauir, the Jays have designated lefty Bill Murphy for assignment. Murphy was excellent in his earlier, funny movies like Caddyshack, Stripes and even Ghostbusters, but then he got all, "I'm an actor." And his laugh production dropped off considerably. He still shows some signs of his ability to amuse when he teams up with director Wes Anderson.
While Hoffpauir saw a dip in his OPS in his first full season at Triple A two seasons ago, he recovered nicely this last year, smacking 14 dingers for Memphis while putting together an .843 OPS and eventually getting called up to the Cardinals. A career .365 OBP in the Minors ain't none too shabby either.
With supposedly shaky defence, this AAAAer is a depth move if I've ever seen one.
Also, he sort of looks like a douche.

Does this mean the end of mighty Joe Inglett?
I hope so! Mabye (Hopefully) johnny crapdonald will be on his way out of town too!
That 'looks like a douche' picture looks like he's tongue kissing a swollen testical.
What about groundhog day?
Of what consequence are you now? These people, this world, they are nothing - the universe is power, pure unstoppable power - and I am that force, I am that power.
How rude!
Why does she always say that?
Shut the fuck up you little cunts!
You're in big trouble, mister!
Hey watch it preppie!!

Hey, hey, hey. *What* is going *on* here?
When my estranged father Kyle came to visit the Enterprise to offer me the command of the USS Aries, which I refused. You learned that I grew up in Valdez, Alaska, & that my mother Elizabeth died when I was two years old, and that I was raised by my father until the age of 15, when I left home. I had not spoken with his father for fifteen years, but we managed to partially mend our relationship over a game of martial-arts sparring called Anbo-jyutsu
This is mutiny!
There's really no point in him playing second at Vegas. Get him to learn third base and get some competition going with Edwin Encarnacion and Bautista. There's a chance he outperforms both players in the big leagues.
There's NO chance he outperforms both players in the big leagues. He is a bentch player at best.

Submit yours before the WS ends. Don't dick around with it. Only rate what you've seen.
The t was added in bench for his tubular shades
Engage!
Parkes you are the on that looks like a douche... in your lame player interviews
Men who crave power look back on the mistakes of their lives. Piles them together and call it destiny.
HAHAHAHA! Thank you for that "bit of philosophy, Sorceress. Here is my response.
SUCK IT!!!!!!!
Yeah but Skeletor, who do you like, Phillies or Yankees? You do like baseball, right? Put your Star Trek toys away and pay fucking attention.
Not the way to treat your beloved ruler.
Fuck off Parkes
Parkes, too bad Jennipher never uses a douche. That Bill Murphy bit was so funny. What a knee slapper! Pretending to confuse him with Bill Murray, what comedy gold! That's right up there with your Peter Zezel jokes. What a funny fuckwad you are! Fucking dolt.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!
Con-den-sation-sation-sation-sation...
Tea, Earl Grey, hot.
Are the Blue Jays for sale? Rest assured that we’re about to find out. People in the commissioner’s office believed going into the season that this was a club that could find itself on the market, even though one of Ted Rogers’ ever-lasting gifts to this franchise – and this is something that can’t be stressed enough – was that he paid for the team in cash and therefore didn’t saddle it with debt. Rather, there was a concern at the game’s highest levels that the new corporate reality at Rogers meant the team did not fit quite as comfortably with “core business” as it once did.
Yes, Rogers owns the stadium. Yes, they own the sports network which they sometimes seem reluctant to use to market the team and yes there are still some convergence points between Rogers Communications and Rogers Media, the divison under which the Blue Jays operate. But know this: Rogers’ ownership of this team is no longer a given. Are the Blue Jays for sale? My guess is if they aren’t for sale right now, but they will be.
Some folk'll never eat a skunk
But then again, some folk'll...
Like Greg Zaun
The slack-jawed yokel.
He doesn't like you! I don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh
Wookiees are known to do that.
Hey, Stoeten, it's been 2 hours, where's your next Cito bitchfest? Walk in front of a bus tool.
If he did I feel sorry for the bus!!
Douche? Pot meet kettle.
And Stoeten is the Glenn Beck of Jays fans. Embarrassing.
dom dakers takes big cocks all the time!
the comments have officially become unreadable. congrats anon. Stoeten, admit defeat and do something about it, at least until next season
ya this has gotten brutal
FUCK YOU YANKEES FUCK YOU NIP MATSUI FUCK YOU JETER SUCK A HORSE COCK DOGTITFUCKER
Wasn't that Jeff Blair article from months ago? Like, well before Rogers has repeatedly now made assurances that the team is not for sale.
Also +1 for banning/moderation.
If you're worried about losing anonymous commenters giving inside info on the Jays, I'm sure they'd be willing to sign up with a fake email account. It takes 2 minutes.
There's what 400 million dollars buys you.
Yeah that's right Mike in Boston. Let's just make this site a handjob club for sabermetric losers.

are you fucking retarded? have you read the comments here lately?
Gee, I don't know, you don't like a comment there's always THE SCROLL WHEEL on your mouse retard.
has there ever been a less inspiring world series team than these yankees? how can any moral personal cheer for guys like arod and burnett and the other bought talent.
at least godzilla won mvp
Bill Murray sucked in Ghostbusters
hmmmmmmmm....... no stoeten yet? the world series was just won. maybe he's just waiting for the wilner post game before he parrots his opinion.
Now that Yankee spending has reached epic proportions (nearly a half billion for only 3 players last winter) and will probably continue this winter (Lackey, Holliday or Bay) it's time for baseball to push for a salary cap.
Other than Yankee fans, I can't imagine anyone who is happy with the way New York won it this year.
do you think norm rumack will make a special appearance and take open phone into the wee hours of the night? please,please.please!
a salary cap is for commies. this is america's game!
MLB is like an Iranian election.
They give you the impression there is fair competition, but the outcome is already decided.
Hey it's November!
So why the fuck am I reading this shit?
