It's Been A Week....

and I haven't vented since. Why? Out of my many years of being a Jays fan, I've never not cared this much. It breaks my heart watching games on TV and seeing them blow it in the worst way possible. And to vent about it on a blog doesn't help.

Tonight's game just made it worse.

People don't even care enough to boo V-Dub anymore.

I also love the, "If a Jays pitcher gets at least 2 men on base then miraculously the defense provides a triple play to get him out of a mess, you could win a million dollars" contest. Give me a fucking break.

And Casey doesn't have high sock mojo anymore....

And I'm sick of Brandon Effin' League having a career.

Yet tons of people want to get their picture taken with the stupid asshole "umps" who automatically MUST be awesome since they're apparently buddies with Jamie Campbell. Whoopdee shit. That act got stale after the first inning they did it.

And again, that's why I hate Toronto fans.

But welcome back, T-Snide....

At least there's a slim chance that Bronson might become a Brewer soon...that might cheer me up.

I need to kill my liver because of these guys.

Double Crappiness With A Side Of No Internet

If anything good happened last night, it was the fact that The Cod got to feel up Scott Richmond. Oh, sorry...I mean, tried to settle him down.

I don't think I can make a blog post long enough for everything that sucked about last night. I would have posted about it last night, but my internet farted out. I think it was sick of my venting on Twitter. Richmond, fresh from the DL, was struggling. Badly. Was he rushed back? Was he just a bit rusty? I don't know....and I'm not even going to attempt to speculate.

Got this information from Jordan Bastian's tweet: Jays 1-3 hitters went 8-13, 5R, 5RBI, 3 2B, 1 HR. Batters 4-9? 2-24. PATHETIC. Then again, what can you expect when your cleanup hitter is Kevin Millar? Love the guy's personality....but he can't hit!

3 errors. 3 frickin' errors by the #1 team in the AL for fielding percentage! Truthfully, if we didn't end up losing this game, I would be pissed off. Yet, I'm still pissed off. Go fig :P

I guess it's because evil and mean JP traded Scott Rolen away. It's been released that Rolen asked to be traded because of family reasons, and he wanted to be closer to Indiana. In the end, JP accommodated for him and we got some youth. Again, far from being a JP supporter, but the Rolen trade is not a reason for him to be fired. At least in my humble opinion. I won't rant about Jays fans...I promise. Especially since I'll probably offend and upset some of my good friends.

Is it bad that I now prefer to hear Rance Mulliniks' voice over Jamie Campbell? I'm actually not cringing when I hear Rance talk anymore. But when Archie starts to talk, I want to throw something at my TV.

Then to add to it, the Brewers had an awesome 7-run second inning last night vs. the Padres. THEY BLEW IT. And they're in fourth place. Braden Looper's quote: “It’s tough to say that I was a better hitter than a pitcher today. I don’t ever want to say that.” (Taken from Adam McCalvy's tweet)

Ugh. Depressed. Well, at least I get to watch both the Jays and the Brewers games tonight. Hooray for my friend having MLB Extra Innings.

It's already August. *sob*

When Aussies Attack

Well, I WANTED to use an action shot of Ryan Long-Hyphenated-Name to suit the title. But nope. None available. And I'm sick of seeing Doc's face, so I'm boycotting the use of a Halladay picture. So let's just stare at Rowland-Smith's evil glasses of doom. No wonder the Jays were shaking in their cleats at the plate.

Yes. I'm bitter. Losing 2-3 to the EFFIN' MARINERS is just as bad as losing 2-3 to the EFFIN' INDIANS. Bloody Hell....you'd think that by watching today's game, we were at US Cellular Field with Buehrle on the mound! I don't want to take anything away from Rowland-Smith's pitching performance, which was really good. But we should have had this game in the bag.

The thing is, everybody just wants to blame one person for this loss, normally from the list of Usual Suspects (minus Fenster and Verbal....and the other guys). V-Dub popping out, yet again? Gotta love seeing Gene Tenace looking like, "What the F*** are we going to do with you?" when V-Dub headed back to the dugout. Welke for botching that call for poor old Doc? Or JP, who will get the blame for absolutely everything that goes wrong with this team right now?

Oh wait, I got it. It's John Gibbons' fault.

All kidding aside, I just want to put the blame on the team as a whole. Yes, there are a lot of distractions going on right now. But seriously, get your asses in gear so that way fans'll actually want to stick around to watch the team through another rebuild, and to prevent this team from going the way of the Expos.

On a side note, Kevin Millar is so bad, that even when he makes a play, it's an out, and he gets charged with an error.

Tomorrow's an off-day, at least on the field. I'm sure the Jays will still find a way to lose something. Maybe their luggage on the way to Oakland.

Nah. Can't Wait To Vent :(

This picture was taken in the first inning, after a balk was called against Rzepczynski. Could the photo have been a foreshadow of what was to come? Seriously guys.....pardon the language, but WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!

The Jays' bats were pretty silent, other than Scott Rolen's for the first half-or-so of the game. But Rzepczynski still had a good outing, and Camp was consistent yet again. Then appeared the new closer, Scott Downs...whom I REALLY don't want to start referring to as "BJ #2" NO idea what the Hell is going on there....but it's not pretty. Will the Downs experiment as closer be finished? Will JayFray get the chance? Will Accardo possibly get his prior temporary job back? Who knows what this team will bring in the next couple of days.

Speaking of with, stupid Sportscrap and their commercials for tomorrow's game. "Watch Roy Halladay as he takes on the Mariners in what could be his final start as a Toronto Blue Jay." Then, advertisements for Connected, stating two words and one form of punctuation: "Halladay Trade?"

I don't know what's worse to constantly hear. Fans bitching about how much the Jays suck, or the fact that Halladay might be traded before the deadline.

And it's good to know that it just didn't seem this way through my television speakers. To post what Jordan Bastian tweeted during tonight's game....

"I will say it again: the Jays fans here in Seattle are much, MUCH louder than the crowds that show up in Toronto."

But I shall no longer vent about fans here in Toronto :)

At least one positive...it does look like Jingles is starting to be a little bit more comfortable at the plate.

And if there's anything I learned during tonight's broadcast? That oftentimes, you must be aggressive at the plate and be sure to not give in to (insert pitcher's name here) especially since the next pitch will be a breaking ball.

See? I shouldn't post blogs when I'm half-asleep and depressed. The Legend, Mr. Dirk Von Hayhurst, was sent down to Vegas today to make room for Scott Richmond, who was removed from the 15-day DL while Brian Tallet has been moved back to the bullpen. It's nice to see Scott back, and hopefully the Legend will return in September.

Oh, and Brewers lost to the Nationals. Again. Boo-urns.

I need a drink. Or sleep. Or both. I just can't be bothered to offer any of my insightful insight tonight.

What the F*** was that?

Out of my almost 28 years of existence...that was probably one of the worst things I ever witnessed.

I don't know how to put it....the Jays lost the game after leading 8-0 or leading 9-1? Let's say 8-0.

We had 16 hits. 16 for crying out loud! Then what happened? The bullpen.

If the bullpen was going to blow it, at least put Dirk Hayhurst in since I can't stay mad at him for making any mistakes. Instead, he just sits there....day in and day out. I don't want to know what's going on with Downs. League can just disappear anytime soon. And in Shawn Camp's defense, despite his 0-5 record, he's been one of our most consistent pitchers out of the bullpen. At least, in my humble opinion.

It was just the most brutal thing I had ever seen, despite every single GOOD thing that happened. Hilly's chin-pube induced 2-homer game for one. Hell, that's all I can think of at the moment. Well, other than at BP when Cecilicious was 2 feet away from me, running into the dugout...*ahem* Fangirl moment over. (Sorry, gotta focus on ALL the positives lol)

Call me a moron, but how was today's game in particular JP's fault? Apparently he's the one who has to pay for what happened. And by no means am I a JP defender.

To show the gravity of how AWFUL today was....look at what was created on YouTube that I just found today. This is what the world's coming to....Jays losing after being up 8-0, and this.
