aaron hill though.

Was at game tonight, got tickets 500 level 5$ from scalpers,then sat in 10th row rf side, with lots of hot jailbait infront.

Nice, they're finally loosening up. I tried negotiating the scalpers down from $10 for the 500s a bunch of times in April and May and got nowhere. Sure I'm being cheap, but it adds up if you've got a group. I guess demand is drying right up.

They all just buy 500level / toronto star pass 82$ for the season and then mass profit!

Do they still offer these?

I had one when I was living in Toronto... it was the first year they came out (7 years ago maybe). They were great because the 500s were closed so often that you rarely actually received 500 level tickets. Most often they were in the 200s or 100 outfield but you could move around relatively easily and land even better seats.

For $82 it was unbelievable value.

Yea the scalper I got from yesterday had at least 100 tickets on him, and the price on ticket was 1.17.

Also fire Cito for being on the verge of being a ****** for sitting Ruiz again. He said he would rather have Bautista in RF with his better D over Ruiz bat.
Im not quite sure what planet Cito is on, but our lack of offense has been our downfall this year.

Not quite sure what planet you're on but the season is over.

So that Steve Phillips dude was just on Sportscentre a minute ago, saying JP probably WILL be back. wat?

Adam Lind with the walk-off awesomeness!

and this is just rubbing it in, but since i've been asking this all along..

how's my under 79 wins looking NOW?

At least Ruiz is ahead of Barajas and Millar for first time this season, maybe cito heard something when i was cursing and booing him few days ago.

I almost caught that 2nd inning foul ball bomb that Vernon Wells hit into the 500 section in the field... couple less beer and I would have had it!

I don't know about everyone else on here, but I have quite liked seeing him in a Blue Jays uniform and I hope he continues to wear one in the 2010 season.

Every single one of his home runs are all the exact same shot. They're all to left-centre field, they're all monster, towering fly balls (not line drive-type home runs) that seem to carry up in the air for such a long time. He gets all of them too, it's not like he gets cheated one bit.

Who? Ruiz? Wells? Hard to get too excited about Ruiz.

Also, went to the final game on Sunday. Brief trip report: we were sitting above the Mariners bullpen and the rookies were all wearing Hello Kitty backpacks. Made for some nice, easy heckling. Also, great frickin' game. Fun crowd, nice comeback . . . I actually think I'm going to miss hating on this weak-ass team.

Oops, forgot to mention it was Hot Rod Barajas I was talking about.

Meh. 34-year-old catcher with a .291 wOBA, and I've never been much impressed with his defense. As long as they don't pay him too much, I guess.

No barajas, no ****in way

Jamie Campbell and his sidekick-du-jour presented a much more convincing argument on-air during last nights game than I am right now.

They were talking about the green monster and how it makes right-handed fly-ball hitters like Mike Lowell and Jason Bay appear a lot better statistically than they truly are. Rod Barajas fits this build quite nicely for the reasons I mentioned in my previous post. Sure enough, just as they're discussing this he crushes a home run over the monster.

So a different question then. What is going to be the Jays catching situation next year? Gaston announced that Barajas isn't going to be back next year. I agree, some team will give him more money than he's worth. Are we looking at a profit-sharing situation between Kyle Phillips and Raul Chavez, similar to the Matt Weiters/Gregg Zaun platoon in Baltimore this year? Phillips isn't ready to carry a full load just yet. Have to keep in mind that Arencibia isn't that far off, either. I have to admit that I quite like Chavez behind the dish for some occasional playing time. He's got a cannon, and the Jays have suffered through too many years of Carl Crawford racking up SB and SB off of Gregg Zaun & co.

It's time to eat up some innings on my roto leagues before it's too late.

Call me crazy, but I'm spot-starting Carl Pavano tomorrow @ DET. Excellent numbers against the Tigers this year. Hopefully they split today's double-header and the Twins come out hungry against some Tigers pitcher who I've never even heard of.

WTF MILLAR STARTING AT 3RD TONIGHT WTFFFFFFFFFFF

CITO must be trying to get himself fired or something.....

I thought Halladay was pitching tonight so I tuned it for the first time in like a month. Adam Lind is the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel.

Papelbon is ****ing disgusting, and not in a good way
