[Geddy]

love the mini helmets.

come on back to winning ways!

[Peteros]

Jays batting .228 with RISP. Ugggly!!

3rd worst mark in the major league.

[spykelee]

bottom of 7 against a team whose lost 7 straight and we've got what... 4 damn hits!

ofcourse as i write this overbay hits a solo home run, which just pisses me off even more. The only way we score is off of home runs, and every home run we hit is a solo shot. This offense is terriable. A high school team would school the jays

That's it, I don't know if the bandwagon exists, but I'm on the FIRE JP bandwagon.

[Peteros]

Stewart looks awful at the plate. What's wrong with him??

[spykelee]

wait a minute, did the jays actually just get a hit with RISP??? No way!!! I didn't actually see that did I?? Am I dreaming???? WOW!!!! good job rolen

[Peteros]

SCOTT ROLEN BABY!!!!

Welcome to Toronto Scott.

[Geddy]

Throwing mistake by Scrappy eventually leads to another run by the Royals.


Wells grounds out without much effort with 2 guys on...


Rolen with a huge double to put the Jays up!
btw Rolen looks like he's aged quite a bit since i last saw him play.

[Geddy]

WTF!!!

[Schad]

Scrappy is really making a mess of things tonight. That was absolutely bush league.

[vaff87]

WTF is Eckstein doing in the field this game? That's two bad errors by him that will likely cost the Jays the game.

[spykelee]

well eckstein cost us this game, we wont score in the top of the 9th. I hate the jays

[spykelee]

**** **** ****!!!! goddamit I hate this **** team. This **** season is **** over. No goddam offense, and when we do **** score, we just give the **** runs right back. What a useless **** team, fire JP, Fire Gibbons and tear this team apart. They suck!!

edit: not to jump to conclusions or anything though...

[Geddy]

Gibbons either goes through relievers real fast, or in this case sticks with the same guy even though he's doing shite on the mound.

[Peteros]

We officially suck.

Fire Gibbons please!!

Something needs to be done soon. This team is falling apart.

[Geddy]

I don't like to be a bandwagon fan, but in this case i'm sick of this team at the moment. I'll watch again once they pull their asses back up to .500

[oomalay]

Ugh. It's hard to cheer this team on right now, but I won't give up hope yet.

Swept by arguably the worst team in our division and losing one to the worst team in the AL kinda makes me want to bring out the paper bag though.

[spykelee]

I just want to say, I hate Mike Wilner. I left work right after the game and heard a good hour of jays talk

I can't stand the way this guy just dismisses everybody that calls in and whatever points they may have. Sometimes he brings up good points, but if he disagree's he'll just be like "no". Tonight he claimed that Derek Jeter is a worse defensive shortstop than David Eckstein. A caller questioned him on it and he just outright dismisses it. I would have to disagree with him on that front as well.

He does know his stuff but they way he treats his callers and the general population of jays fans is ridiculous. The guy thinks he's the be all and end all for baseball knowledge and everyone else is below him, and that really isn't the case. He really comes across as a know it all pompus jackass and they should take him off the air ASAP.

[Illuminati]

This is pathetic. What's happening? Getting swept by f'ng Oakland, Tampa Bay, and losing to KC? IF KC happens to sweep Toronto can Gibbons asap.

This team's frustrating, every year is 'the year'.

[Kid.Canada.23]

Man, the enthusiasm for this team disappeared quick....

Another disappointing year for the Jays.......
