Rangers TV man Tom Grieve calls Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista a ‘crybaby’

Well, at least he didn’t call him Hatchet-Face.

Bautista looked at strike one, tried to check his swing but couldn’t on strike two then swung at strike 3 in the dirt. After he swung at strike three he had a few choice words for the home plate umpire. He then tossed his bat, helmet and elbow pad on the field in protest before leaving.

Once Bautista was thrown out, Grieve had this to say…

“You turn into a cry baby when you act like that. Go sit down and look at the pitch and then apologize to ...

The Jays are almost impossible to watch right now, they've lost 26 of their last 35. I don't think I've been able to sit through a full game in over a month.

Right now I don't really think you can call the Jays a major league baseball team. Most of their players, their ownership, their TV announcers, their stadium people... all minor league. There will never be a more logical time to contract the team. Perhaps with a guillotine.

Agreed. I just spent the last 10 days of August in the Muskoka/Haliburton area without TV, radio or internet, and didn't miss watching them at all. And I haven't watched more than an at-bat or 2 at a time since I got back (Had to catch up on Louie and Wilfred after all).

It is a bit of a downer to see first Tampa and now Baltimore experience success while the Jays are stuck between neutral and the doldrums year after year

Not that I think the Orioles' success is replicable. I don't like them, but I don't begrudge them this year, since it's not going to happen again in a hurry.

It's obviously frustrating for the Jays' organization, living in a universe where they can't get away with anything, but you'd think this would teach them to stop trying to get away with things and just do everything as well as they can.

O's now tied for first.

I am officially rooting for a Pirates-Orioles WS.

This was the most embarrassing game I can remember in Blue Jays history.

Short memory I guess. Jeff Mathis has pitched this season. Twice.

I've blocked most of them out, but there have been games that were at least similarly embarrassing. The SARS game, for one.

They got stomped 12-0, and nearly rained out in a domed stadium.

There was a game in 1995 (I think this one) where Danny Darwin pitched poorly and an acoustic panel fell off the facing of the 500 level, injuring a fan sitting in the 200 level.

And of course there was this game, which ticked me off so much I almost renounced my Jays fandom on the spot.

What is it with domed Canadian baseball stadiums?

14. Matthew E posted on September 05, 2012 at 10:20 AM # hit 0 | hit 0

It's not the stadium; it's the people maintaining it. They buy the thing for 4% of cost and can't be bothered to keep the freaking roof in working order.

A rematch of '71/'79? I could go for that.

So could I.
