The rich girls from TO must be home from college. Tubby, unfortunately manish, and super stuck up are all at Hemingways tonight
— Gregg Zaun (@greggzaun) December 19, 2012
Former Toronto Blue Jays catcher Gregg Zaun is one of the more insufferable ex-athletes on Twitter, with relentless plugs for parties he's hosting and other antics which seem a little bit off for a retired 41-year old. At nearly 1 AM Wednesday morning, Zaun tweeted the above, criticizing the quality of women at a Toronto area bar, which apparently has a New Zealand theme.
Anyway, judging by their website, the bar appears to be a place where old men troll for young women who are trying to just have a good time with their friends, who are apparently tubby, mannish, *and* super stuck up. Gregg Zaun deserves the best, because dammit, he's the only career backup catcher who named his fanbase after a TV show!

Just when you think the Toronto Blue Jays were done with their reeling and dealing they surprise their fans again.
After weeks of speculation, the Jays acquired this year’s National League Cy Young winner, R.A. Dickey last night. If this doesn’t convince you that the Blue Jays are trying to get into the postseason since 1993, then I don’t know what will.

Lost in the maze of craziness that has been the Toronto Blue Jays offseason has been the cycle of catchers that has passed through Toronto. Seriously, look at this mess. -JP Arencibia was the starter in 2012 for the team, and looks to be the starter for 2013 as well -Jeff Mathis was Arencibia's primary backup in 2012, and signed a two-year contract extension in August.

Build a new foundation now, or keep up with “Proven Crap?” That does seem to be the eternal debate when it comes to Met fandom in midst of horrendous down years. It was heard during the down fall of the Worst Team That Money Can Buy run, it was heard after the spending spree of 2002, and the debate has been heard today in the days before the R.A. Dickey trade was announced...

I'll open this brief post with the caveat which always applies when considering future major league relievers - a lot of them are minor league starters. One need look no further than Chad Jenkins. His odds of being a productive long term major league pitcher are substantially higher in the bullpen than in the rotation. Among those who've already appeared on the starter lists...

Patience is a virtue. That certainly applies to the patience of Mets GM, Sandy Alderson, who once again proved his critics wrong this weekend when he secured a windfall of popular prospects from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for reigning Cy Young Award winner, RA Dickey, and his personal catchers, Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas. In doing so, Alderson waited out both the starting...

The Toronto Blue Jays are the early favorite to win the World Series after an offseason that has seen the top choice change several times so far.
First the Detroit Tigers were the 2013 World Series favorites at Bovada. The Tigers have had a good offseason so far, signing former Angels outfielder Torii Hunter and re-signing pitcher Anibal Sanchez, the No. 2 free-agent hurler on the...
