rofl, ye Roy has lost some points but has been a horse for me regardless, I agree they dont mean a lot, Sobolewski is a top 5 lowest rated guy on my team and hes raking it.

Article about the B.J. Ryan situation soon

 

[mfbmike]

Yeah, Gerald Laird is one of my lowest rated starters but is just a tad slower than Granderson, has a great arm, and is hitting over .300 :irked: Then you got guys rated better struggling to hit over .200. :irked:

I get what you mean, fucking Vernon Wells hasnt hit a homer all month for me while his power numbers are at 79 and 74 respectively while Aaron Hill has hit 6 and his numbers are 37 and 41, idk this game is just weird sometimes

B.J. versus B-Jays

​

BOSTON, MA (AP) -- Two hours after the Toronto Blue Jays' opening game loss to the division rival Boston Red Sox curtosy of a Jason Bay walkoff B.J. Ryan sat at his locker with a towel over his head quietly weeping.

His career as a Toronto Blue Jay was over.

Three hours prior, Ryan blew a two run lead in the bottom of the nineth giving up two doubles and a Jed Lowrie single to cash both runners in to classify as his tenth blown save of the season, tops in the league in that individual category. Walking into the dugout after getting out of the nineth with the score tied 7-7, Ryan was pulled aside by pitching coach Brad Arnsberg and the two had words which led to Ryan walking away angrily and throwing his Jays' cap onto the dugout floor.

"B.J. and I had a conversation after that inning and he said some things that really dissapointed to me and at this moment I don't think I can employ him in my staff." Arnsberg said Saturday after the Jays' 11-10 loss to the Sox.

The following night Ryan was sent down to Triple-A Las Vegas and replaced by 35 year old Marty McCleary effectively ended his career in Canada. However, it has still not been determined what Ryan said to Arnsberg Friday night and the coach is keeping his mouth shut.

"Too much of this has gotten out already that I don't feel right really elaborating on what was said, let it just be known that it was effectively dealt with." Arnsberg said.

Ryan is expected to reject the demotion to Triple-A which would render him a free agent and cut all ties between him and the Blue Jays organization. Whether that is a good thing or not is still to be determined as the Jays continue to hunt for that elusive Wildcard spot.

Nice article, sucks about the loss to the Sox.

Nice article, sucks about the loss to the Sox.

Thanks Woy, hopefully I can bounce back and take the series finale

 

[Yawkey Way]

i would reconsider releasing Ryan..he could always be useful for extra inning games/close games where you run your bullpen dry. I know he's been sent down but hey, gotta pull all the plugs.
