So I guess my curse strikes again. Dirk Hayhurst to have exploratory shoulder surgery just weeks after talking to me. I really need to stay away from my own teams players.

Check out [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0990413/?c=1[iSugar[/i[/url for a good little film about the MLB scouting process and how it impacts on the lives of those not from America.

Marcus Thames and Randy Winn signed to fill voids in the outfield. That's us more or less done recruitment wise. We still may pick up a middle infielder though.

If he works out then him with his high 90s arm coupled with the improving Homer Bailey could anchor the Reds for the next five years or so. Add into that the possible progress of Cueto and the returning Volquez and this could be a pitching staff worthy of a division champion. Chapman is definitely a gamble but for a club like the Reds it's one worth taking for me.

Can I borrow it for Spring Training? I'll be going to a Jays-Phillies game. I could get it signed for you!
Oh, and Pitchers and Catchers reporting this week. Jays first team workout is just next week. It's nearly here  |

| Jays 5-1 so far in ST. I know we tend to peak too soon but this is ridiculous.  I only hope they can keep it going through til the end of ST. Last year I saw ST 3 games, 3 defeats. This year I'll be at 4 games and would like to see us win at least one fo them.
Roll on March 26th |

Only if they start badly.
So, realistic expectations/hopes for your team this year?
Blue Jays are pretty much going to blow this season. I'm just hoping for a solid return for Shaun Marcum, a good 2nd season from Ricky Romero and Aaron Hill to continue getting more awesome. Anything on top of that is a bonus really. I fully expect the manager to me off on a regular basis by continuing to misuse the BP, stick with Wells in the 4th spot regardless of form and only give John McDonald one start a month. |

Think we have bought well in Lackey, Chapman, Scutaro and Beltre hopefully Ellsbury can do well in Left field and Dice-K can sort his act out because he may be needed later on in the season.
Losing Varitek as primary catcher means that i think there will be changes only for the better and V-Mart is a great catcher and hitter.
Short stop problem has finally been sorted and Lowell's problems at 3rd base have been sorted too. Youkilis won't be having nightmares about 3rd base anymore.
Right field is a bit dodgy with Drew out there but Reddick has done well in Spring Training so he may have a minor shout at first grade action.
I think we can go well this season and be in October again.

Great article from ESPN on life without Roy Halliday and the incredible 'Halliday Effect'. Well worth a read.
Taken from the article:
"Over the past eight seasons, Roy Halladay's team was 60 games over .500 (149-89) when he started -- and 71 games under .500 (493-564) when anyone else started. Scary.
Want to look at this another way? OK, when Halladay started between 2002-09, the Blue Jays had a .626 winning percentage. When anyone else got the ball, they had a .466 winning percentage. If you forgot your calculators, that comes to a 160-point Halladay Effect.
That's more than double the Sabathia Effect (64 points) over the same period. And it's 26 points higher than the only other ace impact that was even in the same solar system, the Johan Santana Effect (134 points)."

That said, I can't imagine that the Mets sell out that often. Why not try the ticket office (or website). That way you're not paying over the odds and you can probably pick them up the day of the game, save you paying a daft postage fee.

Speaking of ticket prices, I cannot believe the Jays are increasing theirs. Of all years to do it, this should be the year they reduce them, or at least have some sort of offer on (Ie - $5 for 500 level tickets all year round) to get the fans back in, if any way to turn the fans away ala Halladay, this is a close second!

If you book through Ticketmaster just pick them up at the Will Call window. Show your credit card and they print them out in front of you.....simples!
Mets are at home 5th-11th July to the Reds & Braves. 27th July-1st Aug to D`back and Cards. Hope this fits in? |

Finally a big name at a 'small market' team decides to stick with them instead of going to the Red Sox or Yankees.The Twins had to pay him what he wanted or they could have been playing to small crowds in their brand new stadium. |

I know, it's a joke. That's one of the reasons I bought a flex pack. That way I get to go to premium priced games and only pay the regular price. Also saves me a bundle on rip-off booking fees and guarantees decent seats. |
