Well, what about the Jays? Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos only makes moves which “represent real baseball value”. That’s a post-Industrial Age euphemism for “throwing nickels around like manhole covers”.
His #3, #4 and #5 starters going into Spring Training are Henderson Alvarez, Brett Cecil and Dustin McGowan, who were paid a combined salary of less than $1.5 million this past season.
Roy Oswalt at $10 million+ as a Blue Jay? Thanks, but no. We’d rather acquire several retreads, has-beens and used-to-wuzzes on two-way contracts for the Major League minimum. Now that represents real baseball value.
Don’t laugh. The brilliant eclat of our Blue Jays’ inherent greatness renders our golden heroes by far the best mediocre .500 team in baseball history.
Mr. Rogers: Children, can you say “cheap?”
Children: CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!
Mr. Rogers: I knew ya could.

And Zeus looked down from the clouds above Mount Olympus and was heard to utter, “Yes, there does appear to be something not quite right with the American League East, but I just can’t seem to put my finger on it.”

Gotta hate that moniker, “Scrabble.” Athough I’m from the lowest peasant-class Irish, I can actually spell “Rzepczynski”. But a lot of good Anglo-Saxons can’t. So in a mean-spirited way, “Scrabble” makes fun of the hard-to-spell names of Polish people everywhere.
The nickname was coined by a redneck from Calgary, Alberta, who contributes regularly to the Bluebird Banter blog.
