fishing n autograph Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I wouldn't go that far lol. Mickey was a star from day one. EE was a bust up until two or three years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatnFly Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 EE was a struggling 3rd baseman when he came up, and was mentioned in many trade rumours, made lots of errors, both fielding and throwing. Then they moved him to DH where he could just concentrate on hitting, and hitting alone, and thats where he made his name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatnFly Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Was watching the Braves/Yankee game last night, very scary and sad for that fan. they should have stopped the game. apparently he was leaning over the railing yelling at a-rod when he fell over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloatnFly Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 From reading what fans had said at the game, he was pretty much dead on impact. this is something i've always worried about with the upper decks, its a long way down, makes you wonder if ball parks should add safety netting the front facing of the upper levels. places like the 500 level at the dome, thats a scary drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the nets at the end of the rinks for those high deflection shots. I just watch some news footage on youtube. Scary crap. Also to add, I would hate to see a young one just wander away, climb and fall. They need to do something. SAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 I predict it will happen in Hamilton's new stadium Tim Hortons field. The south stands are at a ridiculous angle. I went on a tour before it opened and said it then. When and where is the next Jay's series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on a tour before it opened and said it then. When and where is the next Jay's series? BMO Field as well, the upper bowl has nothing but a railing at the very top. Upper levels have steep angles to allow a better view of the game, just need something to prevent another accident from happening, ie the netting coming out from underneath to catch anyone that falls, sort of like the suicide nets along the DVP Jays have 3 vs the Indians, than 3 vs Baltimore before going back on the road to Boston for 3, NY for 4, Atlanta for 3, than back home have Boston for 3 and than NY again for 3. September will determine their fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Thanks FF, I will keep my eye out for a game. I was the kind of guy that called my relief in early to catch the balance of an afternoon game back in the 80's. I'm getting on board. I used to pick up my wife from work and missed the last extra innings of a big game against Kansas City, I still remember the game. The next day I bought her a brand new car. I swear on my mom and Dad's lives, 88 and 84. That's the kind of a fan I was before most fans here were born, man I'm getting old!!!

FloatnFly Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 haha nice! I was 9 when I first got into it, so in 92, started playing ball and dreaming of playing for the Jays for the next 14 years after lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddler Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Yup, my heart really bleeds for Baltimore. I can't wait to cry a river for those poor Yankees too. I hope all the Jays "make rain" in New York. Yeah, I'll feel real sorry of them. HA! Just about time for another 11 game streak, but I'll take 2 out of 3 any day. Been a jay's fan since day 1 and a Rapport's fan since day 1. Both teams have a work ethic that the Loafs wish they had, regardless of the season record or the current score of the game. Both these clubs are showing Toronto what a real pro team does every season and sooner or later they will rise to the top. It's the Jay's turn right now, The Raps are not far behind, just watch!

netminder Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 ANOTHER power hitting first baseman? Sure, whatever... On a side note, I really feel like we're watching Buehrle age before our eyes. Has that "general soreness" condition and can't seem to get things going the past few outings, even with an extended break. I think Dickey will get it done tonight.

misfish Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Dozed off at around 7:30 1-0 jays. Woke up to catch the wierdest finish to a game I have listen too. Nice to hear they won and could hold and close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Going to be interesting to see how the staff holds up the next couple of weeks Hutchinson`s last start was pathetic...throwing batting practice balls right down the middle...Buehrle looks old and slow and if he is not painting the edges he can`t get anybody out...Stroman starting against the Yanks is interesting I hope he does well because this staff needs him more than ever....

Brettiop Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Cant wait to see how Marcus pitches Saturday, could be a huge boost for the this team! Damn this season is so much more fun then the last 10 I've been watching lol...Expecting to win instead of hoping they win is completely new to me...

netminder Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yup, and a winning streak over the Yankees this weekend could pretty much put the pennant race to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) KC lost four in a row. A nice winning streak can put them first in the league. umm KC won last night ? The beautiful thing about having a lead and not trying to chase? You can afford to win 2-5 against the yankees and still lead them. Keep on rollin boys!

Acountdeleted Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 It's gonna be a strange end to the season. I don't know what to do about Burhle anymore. He looked terrible over the weekend. Now who do you go with for your 3 pitchers in the playoffs? Price, Strollman, Dickey? Price, Bhurle, Dickey? Price, Strollman, Bhurle? Gonna be an interesting month and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
