Keep your eyes on the ball - Drunk Boy

I am still reading drunkjaysfans.com as I don't consider it media, and it's a pretty interesting source of info. I rarely follow their links and don't read any of the other jays sites they link too. I tried to comment once from my blackberry but it didn't seem to work. Basically it kind of fills the void left by the end of firejoemorgan.com.

I was dissapointed in this though. I mean basically who cares what Riccardi thinks anymore and why are you analyzing it? He's an arrogant prick, get over it. You didn't know this when they hired him? I mean they were looking to fill a fairly lousy job opportunity, clearly none of the good options wanted it, why are you surprised that an arrogant prick took it? The chances that he's ever going to say something good about the jays now that doesn't make him look good too are about zero.

What you should be concerned about is why the team has gone from hiring the only dick who would take the job, and either not firing him earlier when they figured out the couldn't do it, or not supporting him properly in it, too promoting somebody who couldn't refuse it. How is that an improvement?

Further, how the hell are they not taking on this crap head on? I ran into part of this conversation on the fan when i switched there looking for the Yankee/Twin game, and couldn't stop laughing. First that anybody could actually seriously think that Rogers is going to blow 130mil+ on this team next season, and next that Sam Cosentino, who I think actually still works for the Jays somehow, was the only guy who could see through it. I mean come on! Beeston hints that there's actually some hope they may spend enough money to legitimately compete next year and the media laps it up? How about going back at him with "where was that money the last 3 seasons", or "why shouldn't I believe that this isn't a naked attempt to sell seasons tickets". I don't pay attention but is there anybody in the media calling Beeston on anything?

Stop falling for the Riccardi distractions, and the Beeston smoke and mirrors. More like this.
