Vladimir Guerrero Sets Sights On HR #500 With Toronto Blue Jays
Over his 16-year MLB career that once saw him as one of the league’s elite outfielders, Vladimir Guerrero knows a thing or two about slugging homers with the bat; and by a thing or two, I mean he’s done it 449 times so far. Though, according to Guerrero, it’s the home runs that he hasn’t [...]
Toronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 19th Edition: Razzle Dazzle Brandon Morrow
Given the highs and lows that a MLB team will go through in a given season, I think that the Toronto Blue Jays are at arguably their highest point in the 2012 season right now, following this afternoon’s 2-0 win over the New York Mets. Sure, we’ve had 4-game win streaks before, but somehow, this [...]
Toronto Blue Jays Demote Adam Lind; Yan Gomes Called Up
The other shoe has finally dropped for Adam Lind. After 2+ years of being the worst first baseman in the major leagues, the Toronto Blue Jays have announced today that they have demoted Lind to AAA Las Vegas, where he will have a chance to get things right. Despite Lind’s struggles at the plate, the [...]
Toronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 15th Edition: In Which Brett Lawrie Loses It
The picture says it all tonight, I think. Not that most of us really know what it’s like to lose as a professional athlete, but I assume it’s probably not the easiest thing to swallow. Sometimes, it’s probably extra-difficult, as it was for the Toronto Blue Jays during a disheartening 4-3 loss to the Tampa [...]
The Adam Lind Conundrum
This isn’t going to be a post about if Adam Lind is actually terrible. If you’re operating under the assumption that the Toronto Blue Jays 1st baseman is still a good ball player, I think it’s fair to say that our opinions diverge from there. For the rest of us, though, Lind has been running on [...]
Toronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 12th Edition: Jose Bautista Blasts Off In Minnesota
Something is a-stirring in the Toronto Blue Jays lineup these days, and for once, it’s exactly what we have expecting all along. Apparently, all it took was a little trip to Minnesota to really get things started for… – Jose Bautista. It used to be that any post-game thoughts would inevitably involve some sort of [...]
Vladimir Guerrero Becomes The Latest Toronto Blue Jay With Minor League Deal
For all the momentum of a youth movement carrying this team, the Toronto Blue Jays sure seem to like their fair share of moves involving cagey veterans. The latest of them involves Vladimir Guerrero, who will come out of inactivity (not necessarily by choice) to join the bluebirds with a one-year, $1.3 million dollar minor [...]
Toronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 8th Edition: Last Call For Coco Cordero
Well folks, this was one to remember. The short? The Toronto Blue Jays suffered a 7-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics. The whole story, on the other hand… – I think we’ve all beaten the “our bullpen sucked” storyline to death in ’11, but no matter how many guys the team brings in, the late-innings [...]
Toronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 6th Edition: Drew Hutchinson Continues Rocky Ride
It wasn’t a total slam dunk of a west coast road trip that I think we were looking for, but even with the Toronto Blue Jays‘ 4-3 loss at the hands of the Anaheim Angels, the team took 4 out of 7 away from the two best teams in the AL West this week. It’s [...]
Toronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 4th Edition: Henderson Alvarez Continues Shutout Tour
You know these young kids in the MLB – they’re never ones to let the veterans have all of the fun. After Brandon Morrow had a er…pretty impressive showing on the mound last night, Henderson Alvarez just had to get in on beating up the Angels, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to their 2nd shutout [...]
