If we go 20-0 the rest of the way, we'll be at 93 wins. Let's do this BLC!

Why are you stealing third Jose?

Remember when we used to actually post in these threads during the game? Man August sucked the life out of this fan base...

Please let Pompey play, would like to see what he can do. Pillar shouldn't be playing.

Just please do not trade him. I can cope with the annual 85 win seasons.

How many Jays would you put ahead of Bautista on an all-time Jays list? Obviously Halladay, Stieb, and Delgado; probably Tony Fernandez, too. I might have him at number 5. Alomar will probably get a lot of love because of 92/93 affiliation and his career after leaving the Jays, but Bautista's numbers are way more impressive.

He's only at 69 pitches through seven innings. He might go all the way.

People would rather have walking Bautista than homerun Bautista. Crazies.

pretty sure no one has ever said that. and if i'm wrong then some actual evidence to prove it would help. but someone did say he needs to "do more than just walk". crazies.

the best Bautista is the one that's able to go back and forth between homerun and walk jose situationally.

That's a straw man argument. Its like me saying that you would prefer 100% O-rate Jose, or SO king Jose.

You didn't say that, but your preference taken to an extreme results in that.

By the way, can we play the Cubs everyday for the rest of this year?

The way they play this year, I can't fathom how the Brewers or Cards aren't at 100 wins
