I’m all for trading Burnett, Eckstien, Zaun, Barajas, Scutero, Frasor, Tallett, maybe even Accardo and Overbay in the right deal . . .
(Stew and Wilkerson too but they have no value)

But NOT Rolen!! Not no way, not no how!

MW: There’s no one who never not ever be traded no way no how, and one would think that if you’re dealing all those assets, you’d find a Rolen replacement in one of those trades, or in a Rolen trade itself.

In my opinion, when the boss uses physical violence against an employee he should be toast, especially if it happens twice.

MW: There’s no indication that there was a physical confrontation between Gibbons and Shea Hillenbrand, and the world of professional athletics is different than the regular business world. I’ve already discussed when I think a manager should be fired, but you can’t have a revolving door of coaches, as well.

I go back to the days of when 2 very popular Jays DH’s played. First the ‘Beeg Man’ Rico Carty and then Cliff Johnson. Seeing Heathcliff approach and break the all-time pinch hit home run record was a thrill. How he battled pitchers with men on base was priceless.

MW: That was a lot of fun, I remember how exciting it was to watch Cliff take a shot at that record. I also remember him heaving the bat down the left-field line on a regular basis.

THE HULKSTER IS BACK AND IT AINT NO ACT. JUST SO YOU KNOW, IT WASN’T ONE BAD MONTH IN 2006. THE JAYS WERE 7TH IN RUNS SCORED IN AL SO ONE BAD MONTH DOES NOT DO THAT. LISTEN MENE GENE THE GIG IS UP, THIS OFFENSE SUCKS. LISTEN BROTHER THESE GUYS ALL NUMBERS STARTED TO DROP AFTER THEY SIGNED THE BIG MONEY CONTRACS. HINSKE, OVERBAY, RIOS, HILL, WELLS ALL HIT LIKE DIVAS AFTER TAKING THE COIN. BROTHER WE NEED A NEW HULKAMANIAC GM WHO WILL PUT A SMACKDOWN ON THESE BAD CONTRACS. THANKS BROTHER

MW: Seriously, though, have you sought help?

If all the hitters just started sucking, so be it. Riccardi brought them here, he should be on the hook if the player’s won’t be.

Hope somehow the bats stop sucking , but can’t see it happening. Guess will see in the next 124.

MW: I think he still has options left, so they could have sent him down to work on the split. I could be wrong, though. Whatever works.

I note that Kevin Millwood threw only 12 pitches tonight, before leaving. Any word on why?

MW: Strained groin.

i think you need to take a phrase heard in the financial sector and apply it to certain, aging players MW “past performance is not a guarantee of future success” Stewart is done. done. done. hes lost just enough bat speed to not be able to hit the inside fastball, which he used to murder. now he must cheat to get around and this then renders him vulnerable to the offspeed pitch..hence his incredible penchant for rolling weak grounders to the middle infield. now i dont think he’s as bas as his numbers are right now..but he’s not that much better…certainly not worth blocking lind down in AAA. 19 at bats??? thats supposed to suffice as a long enough look? give me a break. make a plan and stick to it and stop panicking front office…please.

MW: You were starting to make sense until you fell back on the “plan” crutch, which is a load of crap. The “plan” at this point was to have Russ Adams at shortstop and Eric Hinske playing third base for the last six years. Is that what you want?

I suggest to you all…Larry Bowa. Ask the Dodgers for permission and if they give it to us then hire him. He’ll kick some serious butt.

MW: That would not be a fun time. And wouldn’t ever happen with Rolen here.
