One loss down, many more to come. Hopefully at least some of them involve us scoring runs.

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

I feel very comfortable in saying that we will be neck and neck for the crown of worst record in the majors this year.

Defensive was great. Pitching was great until Hudson showed up. Once I heard he didn't attend spring I thought to myself, this is not good lol. BUT Its only one game. To hopefully they improve and beyond. Especially when the young guns are called up.

Yeah all we needed was for AA to extend the contracts of Bautista, EE, Donaldson, Martin and Tulo and this team would've been a contender this season.

It has to be done, if Jays fans want a sustainable, winning program.

We upping the trade value of Stroman, achieved a tank victory, and we're one day closer to seeing Vlad Jr.

Tulo had half as many hits as our entire team today. At least he is our highest paid player. Nothing better than paying 25 million for a player to help our division rivals. SMRT

The performance of the Yankees is entirely immaterial this season.

Stroman was good. Zimmerman turned back the clock/we like to take hacks...

Really liked the look of Jansen though, I think we have something behind the plate.
That's what she said.

lol what does it matter if we help our division rivals or not. We're not contenders this season. Who cares what our division rivals do. Tulo was shown the door along with a bunch of other veterans so this team can get younger, and we can see what we have in our prospects. Tulo wanted regular at-bats which we couldn't give him. Tulo wanted to play shortstop at all costs. Not sure why it's so difficult to understand that the team and Tulo both wanted different things and a separation was best for both sides.

Yep. My biggest regret is that we couldn't start this process last year instead of the sham contention plan that Rogers/Shapiro cooked up. Wasted a year and the value of some assets. But better late than never.

My favorite baseball teams sucked for years. If I could follow the Expos from the late 60’s and the Jays from 1977 onwards and watch lots of losing, then the new rebuilding Jays are easy to enjoy.
