Word is that the Jays will announce the return of Gibbons as manager on Tuesday morning.

Times like this I wish George was still around. He'd deal A-Rod, sign Hamilton & Grienke, JUST to get people talking about the Yankees instead of the Jays

Blue Jays went ten steps forward and now eight stps back after hiring Gibbons. The guy had a worse relationship with his players than Valentine.

Who else would have you hired? Dave Martinez maybe? Riggleman and Tracey are garbage. Gibbons did a good job, he just had a totally inept GM signing marginal players to retarded contracts.

What is Toronto's deal with bringing back managers? Does anybody else in baseball do that?
I mean I guess Cito Gaston made sense because he won the titles, but Gibbons? He was just there 4 years ago. The Jays weren't terrible under him but certainly this team wants to set the bar a little higher than Hey guys let's be not terrible! |

So apparently the cheapest tickets to Mets Opening Day is $63. That's for the shitty outfield seats that obscure your view of half the field. Any seats worth a shit cost $85.
The Mets barely sold out Opening Day 2012. They've badly misread the market and can forget about selling it out next year with prices like that. I was thinking about going but at that price I just can't justify it. Sell the team, Wilpon. |

I don't think there's a single seat in the ballpark that allows you to see the entire field of play. It's ridiculous. The interior of the stadium is nice but the actual aesthetics of the field of play for Shea were way better.

Gaston made sense, but Gibbons does not.
Maybe Selig said this is what the Jays had to do in order for this trade to go through - LOL |

I liked Gibbons alcoholic sailor persona a few years back, but it seems like a bizarre hire at this point.

Yeah it's totally worth it to drop $63 to stare at a glass partition all game. It's like this all across the upper deck at Citi Field:

No idea, but it's awful. I find myself just walking around the stadium and catching the game from various angles on the concourse.

That's cool. You can get the full experience of watching a baseball game on tv, but you get to spend $200 on tickets and beer!

Yeah was kinda surprised with the amount of Latins on the Jays that he didn't get more of a look. That being said, I'm not at all unhappy with the hire of Gibbons.

$5 million a year seems a bit high for a guy who's just for depth and probably not a starter.
Then again they've been plagued with injuries at the OF spot for the past few years in a row that he's probably going to play a lot if the trend continues. |
