Oh, Hendo.
Keep the damn ball in the yard. I know it’s a joke stadium, but… seriously.
I dunno… I got nothin’ but crossed fingers tonight.
Scuttlebutt
Parkes puts on his tinfoil hat at Getting Blanked and does a fantastic job of breaking down the Sergio Santos situation, which there appears to be more to than the Jays are willing to admit– even if it most certainly doesn’t appear to be the case of a diabolical Kenny Williams trading away damaged goods.
Drew had some terrific analysis of the Jays shifty ways earlier, which was buried a little quicker than I’d hoped by additional content. Be sure not to miss it.
And in case you missed it, too, be sure to check out my series preview talk with Ted Berg of SNY.tv, which you’ll find at the bottom of today’s podcast post.
Lastly, for your between-inning viewing pleasure, here’s today’s edition of Getting Blanked…

Does this mean Snider gets called up?
USA!
Well, the bright side is now AA doesnt have to make any stupid moves to try and react to Bautista’s unwieldy public comments to “go for it”
I would like those U-S-A chants following our star player’s injury to die a painful, fiery death.
Fans clapped for Bautista.
Notice if you will, the LACK of the organist playing “Na na na, Hey, hey, goodbye…” as opposed to the LOW CLASS SLIMEBAG in Chicago when Pena went down.
In defence of the chicago organist, I was at that game and didn’t know he was injured. It just looked like a pitching change.
UCL injury. Tommy John, right?
I lol’ed. I really did.
can i be the first to blame the hr derby?
Ball players are pansies,jose seemed like he got shot!
So in that case, whose at bat was that, Bautistas or Franciscos?
Bautista gets credit with the walk…
Would someone be so kind as to tell the folks without a teevee what the shit just happened? Thank you in advance.
The universe imploded. It should be reaching your position shortly.
he swung really hard and strained his wrist. no biggie.
I’m thinking wrist strain, maybe 2 weeks off. The real problem is what does it do to the swing?
Let’s quickly blame this on the home run derby so that we can be the fanbase that leads the revolt against the stupid fuckshow
Somebody tell me WTF happened with Bautista???
Looks like Bautistas injured and we bring up thames. What a thame…..
I’m liking this Loup guy , I thinkm Didnt see him the other day.
I’m stretching…
LOL!!
LOUP for prime minister!
Don’t worry. Adam Lind is back. And he has Wonderbat.
Hey Travis. We’re calling you up to replace Jose bautista. No pressure though.
IF, jose is out, i’d bet you $5 that thames gets the call.
8th inning is my time, coco time.
I want Coco.
SNOOP-A-LOUP!!
Holy fuck Arencibia, way to help your rookie pitcher out you fuck
Bring in coco we need a higher draft pick.
Fuck JP
what the fuck is this loup kid doing in my spot?
coco should drive to the mound from the pen in his rolls royce phantom.
that’d be boss
JPA has been looking ok lately…but that was a brain fart.
Well it’s turned into a clusterfuck.
nice arm kj
JPA and Johnson doing their best to help the ump give this game to the Yankees…
your hate on for mclelland is at a slow boil eh?
Wow Johnson, WOW. FUCKING WOW!
Oh, Kelly. *facepalm*
SPAZ!!!
The strategy tis to stay out of the strike zone for the first two pitches because the Yankess are famous for swinging at balls early in the count. Then get to 3 balls and see how the Yankees hit when you’re behind in the count.
OK I’m gonna grab a little nap while Frasor pitches, can someone wake me up in 2 hours?
LOL!!!!
End of the game coming up here.
If Bautista’s injured, who wants to bet Adam Lind will be batting 3rd by next week?
Any takers?
4th, the left right thing, but EE 3rd, hmmm
If Bautista is injured, who cares?
another 1 run loss, I can’t take this anymore. I’m not watching.
Kelly makes that play 4 times out of 5. He rushed it at precisely the WRONG time.
Jason follows the strategy.
Bautista: left wrist injury, details to follow (fan590)
Hopefully its like the injury EE had earlier and is back after a week or 2.
EE had a swollen fucking hand. Doesn’t appear to be the same injury ;p
Fraser was talking about playing important ballgames.Well time to put up,or shut the hell up.
Bruce Walton just sits there with his hand on that phone the entire night.
even the yankee batters think this guy takes forever.
Coco warming up BABAY!
luv it!
COCO warming lol were fucked!
fuck frasor hits a guy whose 1/15
The home plate ump’s called strike signal is killing me.
if you need me I’m warmed up now
If you get called, it’s already too late.
yeah baby bases loaded. these are the times that I thrive on.
I’m getting sick of Aaron cibia.
i love how he is slower than the yankee batters!
Great shake off of Aaron Cibia on the 2-2 pitch.
the step off is the best.
don’t forget the mound visit
FucK this at bat has lasted three hours
Just keep throwing high fastballs Jay, its working wonders
Shut these fucks up!
FUCK YEAH FRAS!
Thank you, Sausage King.
Niiiice
That was a sexy pitch… I was half convinced that dickface behind the plate was going to call it a ball…
frasor looks tired. I think a pitching change is needed.
maybe they’re saving you for the 9th! eh!?
The wiley veteran!!
Pat and Buck need to go
Well done, now get the geriatric and lets move on
Wtf pitch to that fuck
Time for a long fly ball out
Human rain delay at it again.
Batter steps out, Fraser stays on. Batter steps back in, Fraser steps off.
What the fuck, is he a pussy or something?
Well, at least that might have almost been a home run in a bigboy ballpark…
fuck off
Fuck off Frasor
Jason Frasor
FUCK YOU
Fuck, its CoCo time
Wow… Ibanez? Really?
HOW MANY GRAND SLAMS ARE YOU GOING TO FUCKING GIVE UP THIS YEAR JASON?
Frasor is a bum
OK Billy the act is getting a little tired….
Itsssssss ovvvvvvvvvver!!!!!
FOR FUCK’S SAKE.
Now it’s Coco Time.
told you so. that’s what you get for disprecting me. 8th inning was my time, coco time
Fuck,Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yooouuuuuu frasor!!!!!
A grand slam? Seriously? FFS
USA! USA!
how many fucking grand slams has frasor given up for fucks sakes
Time to go eat all the cinnamon rolls I bought yesterday, which I was planning on eating for breakfast with my coffee the rest of the week,
Sounds a little girly, dude.
cinnamon rolls go good with wine
That’s just because wine goes well with everything. (If you have enough of it, that is.)
that explains why I eat hotdogs when Im drunk
He’s channeling his inner woman
should have went with coco.
Please AA,sell sell sell!!!!!!
Someone piss on frasor
how come nothing ever changes? why am i forced to watch this bullshit every fucking time we play this team. why do the losses have to be so fucking humiliating?
billy crystal?? fuck off. Go have another milkshake you pudgy little fucker. Nodding like its something special….go fuck yourself. must be real hard cheering for this team, goddamn over privileged fucking fans. FUCK, FUCK. There is no fucking justice in the world of baseball.
fuck.
Yeah no shit. Get that fucking city slicking retard off my screen. This is the fucking Jays’ feed, stop ballwashing these idiots.
Don’t worry jays fans. I will keep the game close. You can count on me, coco man
Cordero saying a quick prayer that he doesn’t get absolutely shellacked
“Dear Lord, help me remember how to pitch.”
I’m actually kinda pissed that Loup is going to get the loss there… He pitched well enough to get out of that inning if JPA/Johnson weren’t bad…
Good points. Instead, everyone will piss on Frasor.
YES!!!
Coco time! Moments that make life worth living.
Cecil vs sabathia tomorrow will be almost unwatchable.. I fear this road trip will be a very poor one
I’ll watch Hamels vs. Sabathia any day. Pitcher’s duel!
Oh man, I thought that was gone…
Would have been fucking hysterical…
It would have been worth it.
Coco haha
Where the fuck was oliver in all this
He pitched two fucking innings yesterday… what more do you want from a 41 year old man?
They phoned down to the bullpen in the 8th to see if he could pitch tonight.. Here was Oliver’s reply http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO3YmT2d-8k&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Busy being 41 years old and having pitched two innings yesterday.
He’s wrapped up in Bubblewrap until absolutely needed.
Nothing like a ball hit 395 feet for an out, welcome back coco, its been far too long
A losing streak is the best thing,time to shed all the dead weight.
you’re telling me that oliver couldn’t have come in to get 1 out? What pisses me off about farrell is that you knew you’d need a lefty facing the yankees yet farrell uses oliver for 2 innings yesterday in a 3 run lead for no reason. Why the fuck farrell? Fucking useless manager.
The counterpoint to that is as soon as you bring in a lefty, the Yankees bring Andruw Jones off the bench, who coincidentally rapes lefties. Pitching to Ibanez with a right-hander is probably the better matchup.
The real point is Jason Frasor is the fucking white Coco. Stop bringing him in for this high leverage shit. He can’t handle it. He’s worth fucking 2GSAR (Grand Slams Above Replacement) as a FUCKING RELIEVER this year.
I disagree, frasor was sweating like a pig and looking his normal terrified self. At least bring in jansenn. Just do something. Farrell just sits there and waits for the game to implode. You could see that result coming a mile away.
This is the problem with farrell, he give the veterans too long a leash, they have to finish the inning or he wont take them out.
Ok ready for the news on Jose
He’s dead.
Are you snuggling your blankie?
Well at least it won’t be a one-run loss.
Yunel is the fucking worst. He just gives away these fucking at bats.
Maybe Yunel has been posting here under the “it’s all over” guise all along.
Time to get players on the roster that give a FUCK! Am i turning green yet?
Do you feel you have too much brass?
