Are You a Blue Jays Fan?
Are You Concerned with the Direction the Team is Headed?
Are You Longing for the Days of Joe Carter and Robbie Alomar?
Of Course You Are!
But have no fear: The Jays have their top man on the job. And he’s not some dime-a-dozen baseball lifer who’s seen and done everything; no, we got ourselves a cracker-jack college boy, with a neat haircut and a notebook!

So that’s why, like me, you are probably filled with optimism when Alex Anthopoulos steps up to the mic and announces his first order of business on the Jays’ long road to respectability is acquiring a … Merkin?

Maybe I read the headline wrong. Let’s see here …

Nope, it would appear that in an effort to shore up the bullpen, we definitely paid cash for a pubic wig. On the plus side, this particular pubic wig happens to be able to throw a 98 mile an hour fastball.
So what’s next, young Alex? Signing Spooge Hargrove off waivers? A trade for Choda Figgins? Albert Pujols?
Only time will tell.

At least the Jays will give us comedy in 2010.

If it’s any consolation you still have the Maple Leafs.

Fucker’s stepping on the logo. And posing for a pic while doing it! Kill him!

The San Francisco Chronicle ran this story as “Giant Merkin traded”

I’d be more outraged if it were the ‘real’ logo of the Jays.
