MW: We don’t, and neither do the Blue Jays. Barajas left for a pinch-runner in the 7th, he’s been having serious hamstring issues.

I should have said young proven pitching as opposed to the guys they are bringing up now.

But my other point is valid. They are done like dinner this year.

MW: I wouldn’t say that, with 80 games left, they’re done like dinner. But they don’t have much of a chance to make the playoffs, nor should they have.

MW: I don’t think they’re going to have the money.

I was looking at Tim Lincecum’s numbers and my Goodness he is unbelievable.

If you can have an MLB franchise, age excluded, would you build your team around Halladay or Lincecum?

MW: Halladay, but age is a big thing to exclude.

I wonder why Russell “3TO” Branyan gets so little respect?

Surely far less players (Juan Pierre much?) have been signed to multi-year deals while Branyan gets bumped from team to team and has to sign one year deals.

As a leftie who hits for a lot of power, did the Jays have any interest in him in the off-season?

MW: I don’t know if they did, but I would hope so. Regardless, if I were Russell The Muscle, the situation in Seattle would have been far more attractive to me, playing-time-wise, than the situation in Toronto. I wouldn’t have signed here if I were him.

MW: Why is that horrible? Did you honestly believe this was a 90-win team?

I dont know why you view everything as a fight. it’s your statement not mine. it makes no sense to me so I asked you to explain and you refuse. you always complain about people who make statements and dont back it up with facts but then you go and do the same thing.

MW: Wrong – I made a statement and you asked me about something entirely different than the statement I made. You don’t know why I view everything as a fight? I don’t, but go back and look at the comments you’ve left to figure out why I think you’re looking for one.

using vernon wells and his struggles as a scapegoat was low, considering he’s the one that left him in the 3/4 hole to look like a fool for so long, but i do respect that though he didn’t admit it to the public, his actions show that he’s admitted to himself that he made the wrong call against philly, which is all you can really ask for…

with that 7th inning sac bunt, i believe that leaves you as the only person left who believes he shouldn’t have been bunting in that phillies game…

funny though, he wouldn’t sacrifice hill then because he’s his ‘best hitter’, but today with chavez on 1st, he wouldn’t sac him over with scutaro to set the scene for that same ‘best hitter’…

i would love to hear his rationale behind all these inconsistencies…

MW: You’ll have to ask him, but I think that Cito didn’t bunt Scutaro in the 9th because it would still take two hits to score Chavez from second.

I’ll be interested to see what the front office does this off-season, given that they told us to wait patiently this year for next year. I don’t think the fans will cut ownership any slack at all if they don’t do something eye-catching.

MW: I wouldn’t bet on them doing something eye-catching this off-season. Wells hasn’t had an outstanding season since 2006, it’s true, and it’s too far gone to turn this season into one.

MW: They lost?
