We're all slaves to something.

Ohhh we're playing pretend outrage?

Are you going to apologize for using a username that references the medical condition Spasticity? You do realize that it's incredibly offensive to people with conditions like Cerebral Palsy, right? You should be embarrassed.

I thought it was in reference to a completely different disability, being a spasto.

Jays talk

If they do end up doing to tear down'ish season.. Shapiro might be the right guy to do it, some of the returns he got in Clevlend are nice

Donaldson would hurt...but the return would be humongous big

But just because we grinded through multiple failed rebuilds doesn’t mean they all fail. Think about the team in Cleveland that beat the Blue Jays in the playoffs last season. That team is very good, and is loaded with depth all over its roster. A big reason for that is because Mark Shapiro was willing (with the reality of the team’s very tight budget in mind, surely) to deal away star players before they hit free agency.

In 2008, he traded C.C. Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers for Matt LaPorta, Rob Bryson, Zach Jackson, and Michael Brantley (!!!), and Casey Blake to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Carlos Santana (!!!) and Jon Meloan. A year later, Cliff Lee and Ben Fransisco were sent to the Philadelphia Phillies for Carlos Carrasco (!!!), Jason Donald, Jason Knapp, and Lou Marson. In 2010, Jake Westbrook was moved in a three-team trade with the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals for Corey Kluber (!!!).

Can we just talk about politics instead?

Language evolves and changes meaning over time.

For a reference, watch Season 13, episode 12 of South Park: The F Word.

Slavery based on "race" was not a factor during the majority of humanity. It was based on tribe and power. Roman's enslaved Roman's (as well as anybody else they could).

Meh. 3 cups in the last 6 or 7 years. I'm sure they are fine

they want to trade Crawford, Panarin, Seabrook, fire Quenneville and Bowman.

So, I think they are fine and happy

Meh. Sucks for them but they've got a whole lot to fall back on in the last few years.


It's gotta suck BECAUSE they are like the Raptors (before this season the Jays) to us. You have the expectation of win it all/go very deep so it cut's deep when they disappoint early on.

Was Jays game yesterday, it was not inspiring.

Going to be a long summer after the playoffs.
