Blue Jays 2006 report card
CBC.ca has posted a good new feature: Grading the Jays, a Blue Jays 2006 season report card. As someone who picked the Jays win it all in 2006, I wholeheartedly agree with the following excerpt: A season that began with the biggest of dreams ended with the smallest of victories… The campaign did, however, end [...]
Robinson out. Girardi in?
It seems that my Bring Girardi to Washington! campaign has been heard up in the offices of the Nationals! MLB.com speculated earlier today that manager Frank Robinson will not be invited back to coach the Nationals next season. This news doesn't surprise me in the least. What did catch my eye was that the article [...]
Russ Adams' starting days numbered
My predictions earlier this season regarding Russ Adams' and Aaron Hill's potential didn't totally pan out. While Hill had a pretty decent second half, J.P. Ricciardi has publicly asserted that Adams will probably be fighting for a starting position with the 2007 Jays. Who might J.P. be targeting to man shortstop in 2007? Lugo for [...]
Bring Girardi to Washington!
I've been a Frank Robinson supporter since he signed on with the Expos, but it's now my opinion that we need a change of the guards in Washington. It's not about pointing fingers and saying who did what wrong, but more a matter of bringing in a new face and a new managerial style. Florida [...]
May day! May day! This ship is sinking!
echo: Lilly, Gibbons exchange words; Altercation occurs during pitcher's removal I don't think the Jays will be re-signing Lilly this upcoming off-season. Gibbons needs to go too. Maybe the Cubs will trade us Dusty Baker for John Gibbons? Kidding! As for my recent post about "do or die time" for the Jays? The title of [...]
It's do or die time for the Jays
The series to watch this weekend is the Jays/Twins match-up. In my opinion, how the Jays perform will determine their ultimate fate for the season. Do they really have the stuff to take the Wild Card or even the East? Or, were all those lofty predictions about a championship season simply off the mark? The [...]

For Nats, change is good
It looks like the Nationals will see plenty of changes post All-Star game: Soriano wants to stay: While I was adament about trading him before the season started, and I remain so inclined in light of the prospects he could potentially fetch, I'm liking Soriano more and more. The Washington Post's latest article about him [...]
Why isn't Larry Broadway in DC?
MLB Rumors Clearinghouse makes an excellent point: Why isn't Larry Broadway in DC? If Stan Kasten plans on focussing on rebuilding from within, then surely it makes sense to give some playing time to Broadway who's been on a tear at the minor league level–especially since Nick Johnson has been taking some time off the [...]
Unlikely heroes welcome, but Nationals struggling
When your game heroes are Royce Clayton and Marlon Anderson, you know something's gone awry. Perhaps the Rays will show some mercy this weekend…
