Dear Sportsnet, what are we doing? signed Blue Jays fans

 

  The Blue Jays played their second spring training of the year against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but you wouldn't know it since it was a radio only game and for some awful reason the Blue Jays don't have their games on the radio this season. 

This all started back on February 26th when Sportsnet came out and announced that they wouldn't have radio only broadcasts this year, instead they would be simulcasting the TV broadcast direct to the radio. 

Just a dogshit horrible idea from the big brains at Sportsnet Media, baseball is a sport that is completely different on TV versus Radio. On TV you have the opportunity to let the game breathe, you don't have to have these descriptions and paint these pictures that you do when it's on Radio.  

With only 10 Spring Training games currently scheduled to be shown on TV (we're down to 9 games already) that means we're going to have a lot of days where you're going to get next to nothing for Blue Jays coverage. Unless you want to watch the other teams feed (which I wouldn't recommend after being subjected to seven innings of the YES Network) it's going to be a grind until the regular season kicks off in April.  

I'm going to keep fighting the good fight by shit talking Sportsnet as much as humanly possible and try to crank out as much Blue Jays content as I can, even if i'm staring at box scores and listening to out of town radio broadcasts.

Hello darkness, my old friend : Bills v Chiefs AFC championship Recap

Image
     What a kick in the nuts that was, all of the momentum and hope we had were pissed way in just the first half.  I mean what the fuck happened?  We admittedly looked like shit against the Colts but we squeaked by and won, the same thing happened against the Ravens; we looked god awful but thankfully for us so did Lamar Jackson.  We were unbelievably lucky to make it as far as we did with how bad we looked, we had the opportunity to make changes and adjustments but that would've been too easy. We go into a game against the defending Super Bowl champs, with a chance to go to the Super Bowl for the first time since 93' and we looked horrendous.  The defence was non-existent, no one and I mean fucking no one would guard either Travis Kelce or hall of fame woman beater Tyreek Hill. This was a repeat of last week, just like with Lamar we let Mahomes run all over us without him even getting touched by the defence.  The offence was even worse, chicken shit football from start to fin

WAGONS = CIRCLED: Bills v Colts wild card weekend Recap

Image
    Holy shit, what a batshit fucking crazy game that was. The Bills had to overcome a lot to erase the 25 years of playoff hurt, from dogshit play calling from Brian Daboll, to Josh having to run all over the place, to Gabriel Davis toe-tapping it twice in a row, to that bullshit no fumble call there to end the game the Bills simply wouldn't die.  I'm going to keep it real with you, we did not look good. The play calling on offence was just absolutely horrible, shades of the Texans game from last year. We give Josh all of these weapons to throw to but hey let's run it 3 times in a row and pile on the 3 and outs. If we have any hope of making it to the Super Bowl, Brian Daboll has to figure it the fuck out.  Going into the game it was obvious Jonathan Taylor was going to be an issue with how we've handled the run. BUT the defence decided to show up and held him to only 78 yards, the passing game on the other hand was a weak spot. Rivers picked apart our secondary every

The End : Toronto Blue Jays game 162 recap

Image
      Game 162 for all the marbles....  Should the Jays not have gotten swept by the Nats? Yes. Should the Jays not have gone 3-3 against the Tigers when they were vying for the top WC spot? Probably. Should the Jays not have gotten shit pumped by the Twins 3 times coming down the stretch? Absolutely. But those all unfortunately happened leaving the Jays on the outside looking in and their fate in the hands of the Nationals, Rays, and Angels. While leaving us the fans looking like Charlie from It's Always Sunny connecting the dots for a 1 Game WC birth.   The Jays came out hot and the bats were on fire going up 9-1 on a George Springer grand slam, while the Rays and Yanks were deadlocked at 0-0, the Mariners were down to the Angels, and the Red Sox were down 3-1 to the Nats.  The Jays close out game 162 strong killing the poor O's 12-4, with homers from Springer, Semien, and my king Vladdy Jr if this was going to be it at least they gave us a show to remember. All eyes went to
