Yammamoto was ridiculous!

Easy MVP pick. That dude is legit

Let's be real honest here. Dave Roberts is on another stratosphere over Dan Wilson

It's so hard for him, having the best team that money can buy..
I disagree with you, Dave couldn't handle the Ms.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yeah right.
Wilson was a good manager, until crunch time. Often. And in the World f&$&,$& Series, he showed his lack of ability to handle a pitching staff. Hell of a season, exceeded expectations. Now, we get to see if he learns from it. The excuses and pass he gets are mind-boggling. Agree to massively disagree. No way in hell Dave Roberts pees down his leg like Dan did.
On to Football.

Go M's
Go Hawks

Poor Toronto and their 5th highest payroll. Excuses.

 

[Donn2390]

I heard the Jays won. So they came back to win two in LA after being down 1-2 in the series after losing in an 18 inning game...that's pretty impressive. It's making me think we could have beaten the Dodgers.

Hold that thought!

$325 to 240 million is quite a difference, and that isn't
even counting the luxury tax.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I don't care. Waaaahhhhhh. Didn't hear ONE Mariners fan claim they lost to Toronto because of payroll. But somehow, that's the reason Toronto blew a 3-2 series lead heading back home
Baseball is over. On the the Hawks.
Go Hawks
Go M's

As poorly as the Dodgers have been hitting and it’s not all the Blue Jays pitching which I will credit them in the WS it’s amazing they won it

 

[SoulfishHawk]

M's absolutely could have knocked off the Dodgers, imo. And I figured they would lose 4-1 if the Blue Jays didn't get lucky in the ALCS

yeah, it's crazy, 3 games by Yamamoto and an 18 inning flip of the coin..other wise the dodgers, were outplayed at every level.

Dave Roberts as a Manager... 10 years.... Wilson, 1 1/2 years

Yet here he was very close to the World Series by one game. I know your qualms with managerial decisions by Dan... but that can be learned.. and normally is.

Cool fact I didn't know, Roberts was born in Japan and mother is Japanese. Might explain some of the recruiting sentiment?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Agree to disagree. Wilson cost this team a World Series.

Agreed....... Father IN law were talking about it... asked what I thought... You keep each onf othose dudes in one inning longer... period... FCK the BP... all hands on deck best pitchers

Which teams? Dodgers at 480 million FYI

 

[IndyHawk]

Which teams? Dodgers at 480 million FYI

Yes, the Dodgers are at $480 million when you factor in the luxury tax
and being over it for X number of years in a row, you get penalized higher
and higher each year.

From Toronto Life:

Last month, when the Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners and advanced to the World Series—were we ever so young?—Jays fans abandoned any desire to gloat and did something kind instead, by donating to the Seattle Children’s Hospital.
As one fan who donated said in their receipt, the funds were “for use in situations that are beyond the game of baseball,” reminding us that while winning is really fun, some things matter more.

Exactly. And they wouldn't play game 1 for 5 days. Castillo, Walter, longer with Kirby, all better options.

Wow. Classy. Kudos to the Jays.
