    Truth.

    I'm a little annoyed that Leyland is too stubborn to walk Bautista every time.
    Illini.

    Yeah I need a Winn-Dixie grocery bag full of money right next to the VIP section...

    The utterly f***ing sad part of it is, that's not the first time he's done that this year. It's about the fifth in 35 games, not all of which has he played CF in. I'm no sports psychologist, but if I were, my diagnosis would probably be something along the lines of "warning track-a-phobia". As the field under his feet turns from green to red or dirt colour, he seems to close his eyes, duck, take cover, and do everything except catch the f***ing ball. That kind of s*** wouldn't play on a well coached little league team FFS. Why is it acceptable here?

    Then there's Jose f***ing Molina and his scoopity doopity doo-dah s***. Last night's misadventure (strikeout of Brennan Boesch with a wild pitch allowing Boesch to reach to lead off the 4th) reminded me of Patrick Roy's hotdog attempt at a glove save against the Red Wings, only to wind up throwing the puck in his own net (playoffs I think - sorry for the hockey reference - it's the first thing that came to mind when I tried to think of a comparison). Get down on your goddamned f***ing knees and put your tubby frame to work blocking the goddamned ball for goodness sake. Quit flailing around and trying to make a backhanded stab and get down in the f***ing dirt. The most egregious part of the whole thing was that he appeared to be having a good old chuckle about it with Miguel Cabrera, as Cabrera came up to hit. I'm sure Brandon Morrow found that f***ing hilarious. Jose Molina is supposed to be a mentor for J.P. Arencibia, but it is my hope that Arencibia is completely ignoring the on-field actions of his "do as I say, not as I do" mentor. All the more reason to get rid of Molina pronto.

    Unfortunately, I think they're going to have to DFA Octavio Dotel as well. He's just continuing to do what he's done since the start of 2009: being effective against RHB, and making the average LHB look like Albert Pujols. That wouldn't be such a problem if Farrell would put him in a situation in which he has a better chance of more frequent success. But unfortunately, he continues to trot him out there every bit as often against LHB as RHB, and OMG! bad things inevitably happen, and strangely enough, continue to happen. Go figure...Shocking. I think he needs to be DFA'd along with the other two, to save Farrell from his immense Octavio Dotel blindspot/boner.

    The Jays don't want to bring up their better, younger prospects? Don't want to bring back Snider or Cecil until you feel they're ready? Fine. DFA Patterson, Molina, and Dotel and bring up three of the older, fringier guys like Brian Jeroloman (C), Darin Mastroianni (CF), and Adam Loewen (RF) and find out what you've got there. Most likely not much, but at least Maestro can play defense in CF. Jeroloman seems to have suffered a huge drop in CS% this year, but I've always heard he has a good defensive reputation. He's got to be better than Molina, at least when it comes to blocking balls in the dirt. Then move Jose Bautista back to 3B to stabilize the infield, and put Encarnacion back at DH. I can deal with Juan Rivera in LF until a trade can be made or until such time as it becomes reasonable to eat his salary. I just cannot endure the combo of Rivera in LF, Patterson in CF, Molina at C, and Encarnacion at 3B. That's half a defensive alignment full of Bad News Bears. As a Jays' fan, FML at the moment.

    Oh and when Cecil's deemed to be ready, for the love of all that's good in the world, please, please, please DFA Jo-Jo Reyes.

    I sat Trevor Cahill last night vs the Rangers. I figured...at Arlington, homerun balls flying out, and some good bats still in that offense. I have a few aces, so I sit him once. And the STUPID thing is, I start CJ Wilson, figuring that he has the Oakland offense to contend with, which should be a speedy Coco Crisp crossing the plate on a Daric Barton single, if anything.

    Instead, Wilson gets pummelled, Cahill gets his 6th win, and I am a fantasy dummy yet again.

    I guess I should just never, ever sit Verlander or Cahill. I figured with Halladay or Lee on most of my pitching staffs, I can rest a secondary ace with all the innings limits anyway - maybe avoid the pummeling by a good offense. Instead, I just look stupid, every time.

    So forget it, all 4 or 5 aces are always in there, every day from here on out.
