So long Alexia. I really thought you'd kill sh*t this season, but it was more of the same. Best of luck in the southside.

Women now have less of a reason to attend/follow Jays games. It can be a good or bad thing.

He's a really talented player. I think he'll do well in Chicago.

****!!! Rios was my favourite player outside of Doc. Now my jersey will just rot in my closet til the Chi Sox come to town...

Yeah, he'll do well in that park... Imagine, just two years ago Rios was being bandied about for Cain/Lincecum and now we're letting him go for nothing. Garghhhhhh

I was never a fan, but we should of got something in return.

How were you "never a fan"? The guy was a really good hitter for 3 years who's having an off year so far this year. More importantly, he was a terrific fielder, possibly the best OF in baseball from 06-08. And the contract he signed was and still is very reasonable. Some people will just never be satisfied I guess.

I'm gonna miss Alex, this team is gonna miss him badly. **** I hate this ownership so much.

I wasn't a fan of his after watching that vid, I would always get a bad feeling in my stomach whenever he got a hit.

He wasn't worth the money, he was full of potential and only lived up to it in that one season.

i appreciate the time you misplayed a fly ball at Fenway and literally scooped the catch off your glove and over the fence for a home run.

I hate the guy aswell, but you can take away the fact that he was a pretty good feilder.

His bat however was horrible and was almost a guaranteed out at many times

F this franchise.. We'll never be able to compete with this BS ownership cutting costs.. To think that we'll ever be able to compete with the cashcows that r the Yankees and the RedSox. FU Rogers. Bunch of Mofos!

i hope and pray he continues to crap out. he seemed uncomfortable with the pressure to perform up to his contract. if he couldn't handle the pressure here, he'll die in chicago

He was definitely part of the problem.

Eh...not really.

I won't particularly miss him, but not having a guy with his skills could hurt this team for years to come. Especially as we watch Vernon Wells get worse and worse in CF with no replacement in sight.

J-Roc · Post #18 » by **J-Roc** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:21 am

He'll do well when he's allowed to be a linedrive leadoff hitter playing in centrefield.

quick question for you:

on average, how many Jays' games do you buy tickets for per season?
