Why do legions of baseball fans loathe the pin-stripers? For me, it’s a combination of their reckless disregard for spending, the sense of entitlement, boorish fans, Andy Pettitte’s nose (and Mormonism; yes, I said it), and the fact that they made Johnny Damon cut his caveman hair and beard. text/html 2007-09-30T22:03:05+01:00 http://www.jaysfanz.com http://www.jaysfanz.com/latest-news/what-we-know-looking-forward-to-2008-position-players-2.html If you're like me, it’s almost as much fun to follow the game of player movement as it is to follow the game of baseball (in my case, probably more so). To that end, it only seems logical that we build a foundation of what we know to be true regarding your 2008 Toronto Blue Jays before we get too deep into speculation about what we may or may not wish to be true. Now, let me offer the disclaimer that we have all seen the untradeable traded and the insane deal made - so nothing is 100% certain. But there is a great deal which has a probability that approaches 100% certainty. text/html 2007-09-30T11:54:58+01:00 http://www.jaysfanz.com http://www.jaysfanz.com/latest-news/2007-the-year-that-was-2.html Well, that’s a wrap for the ’07 Jays. Some people like to get all misty-eyed and reminisce on the season that was while it’s still fresh in their memory and there’s no better way than compiling a highlight/lowlight list. So here goes, the ’07 highlights according to Jayzfans: text/html 2007-09-17T11:50:00+01:00 http://www.jaysfanz.com http://www.jaysfanz.com/latest-news/exhausting-every-option-at-ss-2.html Well, Jays fans, here we are. Stuck in a Bizzaro world where being the worst offensive shortstop imaginable is rewarded with almost $2 million a year and a seeming lock on the starting job for the next two years. Perhaps it is only a futile rage against the machine to whine and moan about that unhappy state of affairs and delude ourselves with unrealistic fantasies of a sudden change of direction on the part of JP Richardi that would lead to a happier circumstance.
