Table 2 strictly for Uribe. I’ve heard he’s quite the character.

Yeah, I don’t really understand some of the reactions. We don’t like it when teams refuse to spend or try. But then we dismiss a contract like this as a mistake. Good luck finding that nearly impossible ideal middle ground.

I think we really need to start accepting that most deals for good players are not going to age well on the back half. It just is what it is. Getting past that reality, I love this for the Jays. They lock in a #2 starter while being squarely in their window to contend. And let’s not forget the division they have to deal with. Free agent splashes/overpays are more or less necessary.

Word. I will say I've been loving the Vuc fiery postgame interviews. Dude's been pissed, even after wins. And he's definitely not wrong.

What is this team?

Not a very inspiring first half. Sure feels like the bears are down by two touchdowns. f*** it, win ugly again.

Had a bad feeling the D was gonna finish this game with even more injuries. They’re not gonna be able to get off the field at all today.

I knew they were a mess of a franchise, but this is like Onion headline territory.

What? Like how is that even possible?

I think these are both true in that Vargas probably means much more to the Sox than he would to another team.

Another wild thing about this is that the O's have had a surplus/logjam of OF prospects for the past several years (i.e. a position of supposed strength), and now they find themselves needing to trade for one year of a 32 year old OF. Lol and/or lmao.

I could easily see him having another good 3 years where he’s a big part of their offense while being a great team guy. I think the Mariners would take that all day.

Kevin Warren getting a game ball temporarily derailed the vibes for me

Why is Ben not running the ball?

I was gonna make a joke meatball post pretending to be mad because Royals/Marlins, but I guess I was beaten to the punch by actual posts.

I don't really think I'd chalk that scenario up to bad luck.

Yeah. I understand the move, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I like the move.

Hmmm

Special teams is trash and Caleb’s decision making or lack thereof continues to be frustrating.

Would you still be cheering for a lockout if the Blue Jays didn’t blow one of the multiple chances they had to win it? Either way, a team with a top 5 payroll was going to win the World Series. Either way, a team that offered Ohtani $700 million was going to win the World Series. The Dodgers barely squeaking by doesn’t really change things IMO.

I agree that fans generally don’t credit owners for winning, but that doesn’t mean owners never get recognized. I’m not sure I even know what’s being argued here, which is what I get for butting in in the middle of it lol.

Ehh, I want that to be true, but I don’t think it is. Watch tonight. The first one to get to hoist the trophy will be the owner.

Good call, ya bozo.
