Jammin'
Well, everyone got over the mutiny really quick. Via Bastian's Twitter "Jays' clubhouse today was filled with Bob Marley music and lots of laughs. No signs of revolt or mutiny anywhere.1:53 PM Oct 4th from TweetDeck " See what happens when everyone talks.
Judging from Aaron Hill's performance in the '09 season, being concussed was the greatest thing to ever happen to him. It gave him super offensive powers (.286 average, 36 home runs, 37 doubles and 108 RBIs.) and super baby making powers (he had his first kid earlier in the season.) Hill missed most of the '08 season and it seemed that David Eckstein's Blue Jay legacy was not going to be the pluckiest pluck who ever had pluck, but rather ending Hill's very promising career. Concussions can be career ending and I'm sure Hill that thought crossed his mind more than once while he was plagued with dizzy spells and headaches. Anyone who has ever had any kind of vertigo will understand how completely soul crushing it can be.
Let's hear from Rat Boy :"You never want to see anybody get hurt, especially like that. I talked to him at the end of the year there and he said everything he did, he'd get so tired. The way he loves baseball, you never want to see that. That's why everyone, we're so happy for him."
So, of course, Aaron Walter Hill won the AL Comeback Player of the Year.
It's a real shame the way the season ended yesterday, but it was, in a way, a perfect illustration of the season. A not broadcast final game (classy, Rogers), losing to a team in the AL East by 1 run.
Brandon League effectively erased any of the newfound respect I had for him for the whole "Butter was hugging Jeter" quip after the Posada Brawl.
So, this is the last post of the regular season. Nice work Adam Lind, Aaron Hill and Marco Scutaro. Holy crap, nice September. Jose Bautista and Randy Ruiz. Strengthen up your toes, Scott Downs. Work harder and don't sulk, Travis Snider. Change your grumpy pants, Scott Rolen. Farewell, BJ Ryan. Stop sucking, Vernon Wells. Do you miss head bongoes, Alex Rios? Cito Gaston, start talking to people. Invite Butter out to dinner. Bye JP, thanks for your hard work and your lying. You can have him back now, Massholes. Fuck you, AJ Burnett.
2009 will be marked by the blood feud I started with Eyebleaf and the Tao of Stieb over JP Ricciardi. Considering that JP was fired on Sunday, I guess I won that, didn't I?
So, thank you for reading all season. I'll still be posting during the playoffs, probably. And throughout the winter. You can follow me on Twitter, e-mail me or post in the comment section any comments/concerns and helpful suggestions. But please refrain from more death threats. That's not very nice.
