I'm an emotional little jackass.<br /><br />@ Shane: DJF started this gangster blogging shit, and this the mother fucking thanks they get? In all seriousness, thanks for the comment. There's a ton of Jays content out there in the blogosphere; I appreciate anyone and everyone who comes by to read this corner's. The DJF guys are good at what they do; they're pioneers. Their comments section has gone to hell, and that's unfortunate, but it's definitely good for some laughs. There's some gold in there, every night.<br /><br />@ Steve: Robbie goes in as the first Blue Jay. I think I'm going down to Cooperstown for that one.<br /><br />@ William: I wasn't aware that Key started out as a Yankee. You learn something new every day. That shit is true.<br /><br />@ Death By Leafs: I too loved the unis. It's tough to relive the highlights and not get emotional. Those teams meant a lot to all of us. Like I wrote in my post after the game, no matter how many times this team finishes 4th, nobody can take 92 and 93 away from us.<br /><br />@ BK: Eckersley needed to be brought back down to earth. I couldn't have picked a better guy than Robbie to bring him back. Hard to believe that there could be a bigger home run in the franchise's history than Carter's, but Alomar's might just be.<br /><br />@ William: Thanks buddy. My boy Dean, who blogs over at 25th Hour (check your local blogroll), will appreciate your kind words. I too am quite in love with the banner.<br /><br />@ Showcase: He's most deserving. Kaberle went up there seamlessly.<br /><br />@ Zack: That's hard to believe, first of all, and encouraging, second of all. There's no Masshole hatred towards Robbie, that's probably why he's supported. During those years the Jays were dominating, I have no idea what the Red Sox were up to, because they were complete ass. Go Jays.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-24583851633109301342009-08-08T22:29:08.975-04:002009-08-08T22:29:08.975-04:00I just figured you'd probably want to know tha...I just figured you'd probably want to know that there is published Masshole support for Alomar as a first or second ballot Hall of Famer.Zackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320020022211823499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-79664680651694678112009-08-08T17:59:17.727-04:002009-08-08T17:59:17.727-04:00pure props for sauga sont!pure props for sauga sont!showcase29https://www.blogger.com/profile/06195174988322165600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-70214581997812660372009-08-08T07:21:59.968-04:002009-08-08T07:21:59.968-04:00By the way, I keep forgetting to mention how much ...By the way, I keep forgetting to mention how much I love the logo on the top of this blog, with the Toronto skyline and the three players above them.

I wish I had gone, but reliving all those moments on TV and watching the assembled heroes take the field gave me goosebumps.<br />I actually can't watch or even think about Carter's home run without getting goosebumps and hearing "Touch em all, Joe" in my mind.<br /><br />It's sad to state this on the day that JR retires, but winning lasts forever.Death by Leafsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-77412414343584436942009-08-07T22:27:10.830-04:002009-08-07T22:27:10.830-04:00Alomar was one of the greatest talents I've ev...Alomar was one of the greatest talents I've ever seen in baseball.

Him and Barry Larkin and Alan Trammel all retired right as offense exploded, and I think it's going to hurt their Hall of Fame cases. Alomar definitely gets in anyway though; can't keep him out with those numbers.Steve G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12021363760202667755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-50772093330708407822009-08-07T18:52:50.385-04:002009-08-07T18:52:50.385-04:00You're cool.
