JP is the Man?


Well folks, it seems like JP could be the man for at least another season. Jays "guru" Richard Girffin reports http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/500525 "Cito's contract status means J.P. is staying"


"The timing of the Gaston news conference, during rather than after the season, confirms what sources have whispered. Ricciardi's job as GM is safe for another year. If the Jays were going to replace Ricciardi, as had been under serious consideration, they would have waited until the new guy was in place. In the majors, the GM in most cases will make the announcement of his field manager."


What does this mean for the Jays?


1) At least one more year of injury excuses for the Jays

2) At least one more year to scare off possible free agent signings

3) At least one more off-season to make one bad trade

4) At least one more off-season to miss out on hosing another team

5) We are now into year 8 of the 5 year plan

6) At least one more year of finishing with around 85 wins

7) At least one more year of the media and fans asking "Will JP get fired?"

8) At least one more year of me going bananas
