Do you like goats?

If so, what kind of goats do you like?

What is your favourite kind of goats?

On a scale of one to goats, what are Blue Jays?

Ya our scouting and drafting has been horrific. We'll never be able to flip any of our garbage prospects for anybody decent. If only we had Gord Ash back to restock the system like it was in the glory years

I played as the Jays in OOTP 13 and had to fire Tinnish because his ratings were too low. Hired Epstein to replace him as scouting director. OP may have a point.

Wow, OOTP, I think I played this game 10 years ago. OOTP ratings should definitely be what you judge a scout by.

This thread shouldn't just be locked - it should be purged. One of the most ridiculous posts I have ever seen (including Raptors board).

Interesting, do you have a blog or something I could subscribe to? I'd like to read more.

I also have the inside edge on some prospects that come out of nowhere in 2014. Perhaps AA should hire me as an advisor.

Its fate will be even worse: it's getting a place of honour in the Announcements section for the remainder of the day.

What happens to it after that?

It's still slow in the baseball world. I'd like to hear more about OP's opinion on this matter.

There's really only one viable option for this thread. My compliments to Schad, first for putting this into the place of prominence it so rightfully deserves, and second for creating a poll with options that will allow us to finally discuss how the noble Ibex will impact the Jays' fortunes in this upcoming season. It has been a little discussed fact that this year's Jays squad has the exact same number of players born under the astrological sign Capricorn as the 1992 and 1993 Jays teams, so we should all pay attention to the heavy involvement goats will play in this teams' success or failure this year.

I think it should be stickied and linked to whenever someone makes an egregiously ignorant comment.

The response can be...Shut the **** up, Donnie!

With results this decisive, I see no reason to wait the full 24 hours.

This thread is now about goats.
