The Jays don't lose creatively, it's usually just one of the following:
- Hutchinson pitching on the road
- Dickey starting
- Bullpen collapses
- Hutchinson pitching on the road
- Dickey starting
- Bullpen collapses
This.
Ok I take it back. Just looked and the jays batters are literally #1 in the AL in WAR and 3rd in the mlb. Pitchers are 21st tho. #FireAA if he does nothing

There's a special place in hell for Bill Cosby. http://nymag.com/thecut/2015/07/bill-cosbys-accusers-speak-out.html
- He has a great sense of wall street fashion - I would suit up every day if I could.
- He has a great sense of modern interior design - love it, I model my pad after a similar decorum.
- He has a taste for the finer things in life - love it.
- He has a perfected morning and evening skin regiment - love it.
- He has a daily work out routine and is into looking good - love it.
- He's passionate about 80s music - love it.
- He's OCD about things being organized and clean - love it.
Who wouldn't want to be Patrick Bateman?

You're kidding me right? You're saying a team that has actually won 2 championships in our lifetime is worse than the leafs?
20 years ago? Who cares?
True, most years the Jays go to Oakland or Seattle around this time of the year and get swept by a shitty team for no reason at all. As a bonus they usually lose a 4 gamer in Seattle to make sure they cap off a 2 and 8 west coast swing in anti-style.
Stepan signs 6 years $6.5M
That's a lot of money for a guy who's only scored 20 goals once, 5 years ago and who has never hit 60 points....
lmao says the guy who's team is paying $5.5 million for 6 years for a dman who's barely a 20 point guy....but that ain't none of my business.

Or, as the Rangers put it...
Step is a very glass half-empty/hall-full kind of player.
The guy who was our 2nd best defenseman in the playoffs after Subban, and who' a right handed D that can play on the top pairing who has comparable advanced stats to other defenseman making that kind of cash. Slighting a defenseman for lack of points when he's played for the Oilers his entire career? Try harder.
Oh you mean like Stepan who was the 2nd best center in the playoffs after Brassard, and who's a right handed center than can play against the other team's best centers and has been .78points per game the last 3 seasons and is only 25. Slighting the team's top center whos getting paid 6.5M a year in an era where Oreilly is getting 7.5M. Try harder.
See anyone can do it.
btw both players are overpaid...and so is Babby Ryan.

Like the sound of a shotgun cocking that you swore you heard behind you but it was really just your brain telling you how much it wants to die?
That happens to you guys too right?
Edit : nevermind, not wasting time on this

Alright young people: I need a new album to listen to. I'll give anything a shot. Has to be on apple music.
I think people are used to seeing most RFAs get paid less just because they're younger and have control, but that's changing. And it's a good thing IMO. Players should be paid the most when they're in their primes, not when they're already declining. In the past Stepan might have been paid a bit less now, but then he'll have his most productive season a couple years from now and his contract would look like a bargain. THEN he'd get paid the big money as a UFA when his best years are already behind him. So this is probably better.
He also had never missed a game in his pro career prior to this past year (one game with a broken jaw against Montreal in the playoffs and the first month of the season with a broken leg).
Also, it will be interesting to see what kind of numbers Stepan can put up in a season if he, you know, participates in training camp. Due to various circumstances, he has not had a full proper training camp since 2011.

To Pimp a Butterfly

I'm going to put that one in the file, but I need music to assemble a bookshelf to. This is no time for jazz.
Edit: First thirty to forty seconds sound like the intro to a radiohead song though. Digging it.
I'll give it a go.
If a player gets injured a lot then it makes sense to not trust points pace and look mainly at their actual point totals. But it's pretty lame when a guy like Stepan has one injury in his career, scores 55 points in 68 games, and you see people throw out the "But he's never scored 60 points!" argument.
modern jazz is usually influenced by electronic music, it's underrated

I've never really sat down and listened to modern hip hop. It's been an embarrassing omission in my taste. So far digging To Pimp A Butterfly.
Or when he had 44 points in 48 games in the lockout season.

Awesome
Does that not indicate that you must have particular Rogers plans?
Oh nice. Wasn't expecting another year at all.
It's the same plans that got it free last year I believe. The whole year, that is, not just those who got it till Dec 31.

THANK YOU LORD

Pretty damn psyched about strolling down Flatbush from my new apartment for this one.
Looking forward to seeing the Isles' new abomination to hockey firsthand. I wonder if it will be any better than the shitshow that is NYCFC's setup at Yankee Stadium.

Stepan's contract is pretty reasonable. He'll be 31 when it's up, so the cap should be higher and he'll be coming off his prime years.
His cap hit is lower than Spezza, Statsny, and Koivu.
