Sorry not trying to be an ass. I don't understand the question. I never said I was Einstein.

That's really all I'm trying to say. So I have one supporter in my corner as far as this topic.

I disagree especially with your first sentence. And to beat Rivera with a 3 run homer the other day and make a great catch tonight and hit another bomb. Yes these are just 2 instances, arguably providing the Jays with more than Beckham say has given us all this season. Some guys belong as the last guy on the roster. This guy fits the bill as a last roster outfielder, pinch runner, late inning fielder, whatever. Some say the hatred is because Ozzie started him and led him off to start the season. well you are all smart baseball people. The hate should be all on Ozzie. I doubt a high school kid could bash a homer off Rivera and roam center like he can. This guy isn't as good a hitter as Teahen I will admit that. I am all for keeping Teahen, but not crazy having Teahen start, especially at third. Wise can draw a paycheck as he's doing and feel like he's earning it, though. I do not classify him as a bum.

OK. Well then he should feel special because there's something about him or his game that has made the Blue Jays at this time think he's a valuable sub. Obviously I'm not the only person thinks he's worthy of wearing a big league uniform. He's wearing one tonight. I never said he should play every day. But to tell me he flat out sucks is just wrong. He is capable of playing a role on a big league team and earning the minimum salary. And I didn't bring his name up tonight on this thread. Somebody pointed out he hit a big home run and the discussion ensued.

As far as being a Key reserve. He can ... Run. Field. Run. Field. And has a knack of getting some clutch hits. Should he be on a roster? Yes. Should he play a ton? Probably not. Should he play some? Yes.

I've written on here I have no problem with Teahen playing 2 times a week or being a key reserve. I don't deny he has a spot in the big leagues. As a regular? And a 3rd baseman? No. And that line above is just bulls***. Wise has a job now and should have one. You think he can't help a big league baseball team on a limited basis?

Uh the uniform he is wearing begs to differ. He is playing ... and excelling tonight in the big leagues. He is a quality bench guy. How can you not see that? There is value in his speed and glove and occasional pop. He had some big hits for the white sox as well as THE CATCH. I like Wise. Some of you act like praising him for the catch is a bad thing. It was a great great moment in Sox history. WTF.

He cost Mariana Rivera a blown save this year with a 3 run bomb. Rivera has blown 2 saves total. Do you watch him like tonight? He glides after the f***ing ball. He's a quality reserve. He just is. And some of the posts comments about him bordered on hate. Hate may not be too strong a word.

If this game cant start til 9:30 don't you think it's dead? How can they start a game that late? Dumb.

Then why wasn't all the hate directed to the manager? People are smart. They should know. The guy can play baseball. He's a good reserve.

He had an excellent catch tonight as well that they keep showing.

D Wise is a quality big leaguer. The hate on here borderlined on insanity.

Yeah. He had that over the shoulder catch in cf tonight too.

D Wise with a bomb. I am SO happy that guy is in the bigs. He is a f***ing stud. Unappreciated stud.

Wow. Nix with 2 homers?? DWise looks great in centerfield for the Blue Jays vs. Twins. Made a great over the shoulder catch. He's a very very good last man on a roster.

Not really, but I really do think most every manager is disliked after every loss by his/her fanbase. s***, if the Sox lose all a hater has to do is criticize that day's lineup and that hater is the winner of the argument. How can you argue. If the team wins, however, Oz rarely gets any credit. A lot of people insist he gets little to no credit for 05. The dumbest argument EVER is that he just rode the pitchers as they threw complete games. Uh ... most managers wouldn't have even considered letting their pitchers go more than 7 or 8. It's matchups time in the 8th inning in the World Series don't you know?

Is Matt our new closer? Has this been discussed? He is really really good right now. I would think Oz would ride Matt for a while. Make Bobby the setup guy. I LOVE Bobby but nobody can argue how dominant Thornton looks. My god he's good.

I'm surprised he doesn't mention the course by name. Ah heck. I'm sure he gets free green fees anyway. Probably doesn't need to say the course name.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but doesn't it seem weird that there's nobody else screaming "yes" with Hawk on the "put it on the board, yes" home run calls? Stoney whom I love will have no part of it. But it seems like it needs another guy yelling yes with him.

Thanx chw, I was half kiddin.

Don't 11000 posts make me more than "this guy?" I'm not that big a dick.

Thanks for the family bathroom info. That is important news. Thanx!! Some wild s*** online right now. Lindsay Lohan goin to jail. She's crying like a zombie. The rich don't win this time.

If he's sent down I hope we have second baseman by committee: Lilly Omar and Teahen because giving the job to any one of them won't be any better than Beckham IMO.

I don't think he's a lost cause for the rest of the season. I actually think we need him. Do you want Lilly and Omar out there at second, and heaven forbid, Teahen?

Why do you want him set down so much? I don't understand why that is the cure all? Have him sit a while and hopefully the competitive juices will take over. Then maybe he'll start hitting. Sometimes I think people just want him sent down so they don't have to think about him anymore. We actually need him on this team. Lilly is not the answer. Omar is too old. Teahen stinks as well.
