The Lost Blue Jays Cartoon: Space Jays

Most people have probably heard by now that Blue Jays pitcher R.A. Dickey is a massive Star Wars fan.

And most people have probably also heard that J.P. Arencibia is a big R.A. Dickey fan.

And Mark Buehrle likes his dogs.

And all that info is fitting because it's all covered in this cartoon I stumbled across.

The Lost Blue Jays 8 Bit Old School Nintendo Video Game

I had this crazy dream the other night.

In it, I was playing a video game on an old school NES. And that video game was about the 2013 Blue Jays.

So I jumped on ebay, poked around for a bit, and sure enough, was able to track it down.

I have no idea how someone was able to predict what I'm sure will be the fate of the Jays this year, but dammit if this doesn't look pretty accurate.

Except I don't think Lind will get as many at bats.

But other than that, I think it's pretty bang on.

J.J. Abrams vs. John Farrell: What's with all these Dream Jobs?

Red Sox fans complained about the 2013 season's excessive lens flares 

I am not really a Trekkie.
I am also not really a Star Wars fan.

That being said, I probably know more about Star Trek mythology than most people.
I also know more about about Star Wars mythology than most people (My geek card should be validated by referring to both Star Trek and Star Wars minutae as "mythology").

Deciphering Tweets about the Toronto Blue Jays: Mike Wilner

This didn't really work out like I thought it would. Next time I do this, I'm making sure completely read the tweet before making a video. I could have sworn it said something about AA dressed like a cowboy. 

Who said R.A. Dickey is going to be a Blue Jay?

So my weekend was kind of ruined by the fact that RA Dickey is apparently going to be a Toronto Blue Jay.

I seriously spent at least 8 hours watching Twitter, in a mall's food court, while pretending to Christmas shop, waiting for the allegedly immanent trade to become official.

Ironically, neither the trade nor my Christmas shopping is done.

It got me thinking, though. Who is telling Ken Rosenthal et al about these trades?

Is it someone from the Jays? If so, who? How close are they? Are they THIS close:

WHO THE HELL IS THAT GUY: Identifying Don Fehr's Entourage

If you're anything like me, you've been tuning out the noise surrounding the NHL lockout since Jaymes Hall left the scene. And while this whole labour dispute fiasco has ensured I've lost any and all interest in the game* there is one thing that has been keeping me following.

It's this guy right here:

Seriously, who is this guy?

Gibbons vs. Lawrie: Chapter 1

There's been a lot of speculation surrounding how new Blue Jays manager John Gibbons will get along with 3rd baseman Brett Lawrie.

Both Gibbons and Lawrie are known for being temperamental, to say the least.

What really rubs me the wrong way is how so many Jays fans seem to be excited for the chance to see a player and manager square off. Look at the comments for any article about Gibbons as manager and at least one or two douche-bags are there, chirping about how they can't wait to see the two square off, as if it's inevitable.

Well I for one don't see that happening. In fact, I imagine their relationship will look more like this:
