how come?

I can't understand how some of these managers think. I always thought that
a guy with a good glove and a good b.a. should be playing and batting in the
upper part of the order so he could get as many ab's as possible. This is
no rocket science level of thinking. How come Joe Inglett was out of the
lineup last night, and is hitting in the 9th spot? I have been following
him since he was in the minors and the Jays are treating him just like the
Indians did.

Your dead right.it's not rocket science,
it has more to with fan appeal imho,thats
why they have Stewart in left field instead
of the late departed Johnson.But dumping
Thomas is a mystery to me he had both
fan appeal and that big stick,both good
qualities,but anything jp does is motivated
by ego and money,so go figure why the
team's chemistry and moral has hit an
all time low.You can see it in their play
and attitude towards the game.Under
the surface there is a huge festering boil
about to explode any time soon imho.

More than likely gibby can feel the axe
on his neck getting closer with every loss.
Jp promised us all when he took the job,
as gm he would quit rather than further
mismanage the team,well guess what
your five years is long up jp,and the team
is eve more disheartening and mediocre,
even compared to the gord ash years.

I see them firing gibby any day now
and putting ernie in charge interim,and
playing out the rest of the season looking
up at the standings in the ale,and saying
if only.

And I think you will see come season
end or before guys like doc,vw's,rios,hill,
etc,asking to be dealt or quiting out right.

You can bet the farm,that other teams
are licking their collective chops waiting
for the jays to implode and the fire sale to
follow.

Guys like stairs,stewart,zaun,know
there chances of remaining every day players anywhere else are
limited,and they are playing their guts out,while it
appears others on the team are just
killing time and collecting their pay.

The brass hats keep shrugging their
shoulders and repeating the same
gibberish time and time again.

They have the making of a fine young starting staff,and bull pen,but
lack of run support and motivation is getting very ugly.They to will
likely jump ship before it sinks.

It has shades of expos written all over
it again...to bad to sad.Perhaps they should have called the team the
toronto
blue leafs instead,I can't for the life of
me understand why anyone would pay
the big bucks,they ask for tickets to see
the leafs flounder every year,but to each
his own I guess.

btw I have a bunch of tickets for up coming games this season,don't
want
to waste gas money etc on a team who
don't give a rats ass,give me a shout if
anybody is interested,good seats my
brother unfortunately works for teddy;>)
