Here's a blast from the past....Cito Gaston is the new Jays' manager

    I'm not happy with this but that's simply because John Gibbons is a friend of mine. And again, we have a case of players who can't play causing the firing of a manager.

    Is Pat Gillick's contract up at the end of the season?

    I'm next door to the Jays television folks today...the general consensus is that Ricciardi may not last the weekend either.

    Lotta angry fans in Jays' BLOG! world, pissed that this just seems to be a PR move by J.P. to get the heat off him for the Adam Dunn thing. Might be some merit to that.

    Huggy,

    There is no way JP did this.

    Agreed, but he probably didn't protest too much. Who's idea would it have been to gas the coaches? Can't see Godfrey lobbying for the return of Tenace and Leyva.

    It seems like Ricciardi and Gibbons -- aren't they old friends? -- distinguished themselves less for their baseball acumen than for their ability to rub people the wrong way.

    Duane Ward has no idea why his arm feels better than it has in 15 years.

    Jays also just traded Vernon Wells to the Red Sox for Mike Timlin.

    Before I go to their clubhouse, is that a joke about Timlin?

    Moddy, any GM who thinks Matt Stairs is a better player than Frank Thomas deserves to have his fate sealed. May Godfrey throw his butt down the stairs at the end of the year, if not sooner. lol
