The Jays today fired manager John Gibbons replaced by Cito Gaston, who led the team to World Series titles in 1992 and 1993 before being fired himself in 1997.The Blue Jays began the day 35-39, having lost five straight and 13 of their last 17 games to fall 10 1/2 games behind first-place Boston in the AL East.“We’ve underachieved at this point with a good club,” general manager J.P. Ricciar

After trying in vain to keep an underachieving Toronto roster out of last place this season, John Gibbons has been relieved of his duties as of this morning.And his replacement, Cito Gaston???Good luck, Mr. Gibbons; however, I can never respect you for going into Smackdown mode with Ted Lilly and Shea Hillenbrand.

If you have a chance to check out ESPN.com this evening, you should probably read "Players like Bonds, Gibbons, Logan Struggle To Find Work". It's a pretty eye-opening piece on how some unemployed players who implicated in the Mitchell Report have had a very hard time finding work and are still on the market.Obviously, we know the saga of Barry Bonds, but much of the piece is devoted to former Ori

Cuenta la historia que, entre el 28 de noviembre y el 3 de diciembre de 1988, se celebró en España el Salón del Cómic Ciudad de Oviedo, el cual anunciaba, no sin orgullo, la visita de Alan Moore y Dave Gibbons. Los autores de Watchmen recibirían los premios "Haxtur", el mayor galardón que ofrece este Salón. Y bueno, no era para menos.Lamentablamente, el insuperable equipo creativo no pudo a

In a few hours, we'll know if he's made the team or not. Speaking to a few media guys, just out of speculation, they believe he'll be sent on his way and that Scott Moore will make the team...If anyone attended "The State of the Orioles" at Fan Fest with Andy MacPhail and Dave Trembley they could read in between in the lines. What do you all think?

Well, the 2008 regular season is upon us, and the good news is we now know who our fifth starter is --- Brian Buress. I figured he'd get the nod after his strong start, and like I said the other day, he was a great spot starter for the first half of the season, but he wilted and it seemed the more time went on, the less effective he was.Only time will tell if he can stay consistent throughout the 2008 season. Considering the expectations of the pitching staff, he'll be given ample opportunity to get a permanent shot in holding down the role.***After everything, Jay Gibbons may not be suspended, after all.In a piece in the Baltimore Sun yesterday, "The commissioner's office and the players union are negotiating changes to Major League Baseball's drug policy in the wake of the Mitchell Repor

Jay Gibbons.Right now, perhaps no else on the roster is reviled by fans as much as this fellow.He's not done much in the past 2 years, and with an exorbitant salary along with his name in the Mitchell Report and drug connection, it's little wonder why people feel the way they do.Hey, Brian Roberts had his name ensnared in the drug issue; however, he produces -- Gibbons doesn't.What in the world should we do with him? He’s a nice guy, but at this point, he’s taking up space on the roster and could leave a more deserving guy off (item: Scott Moore).Do we ex-communicate him, give him another chance, let him play through his problems, or cut him and see if the Orioles can get their millions back? It looks like he’s gone from a decent power hitter, to merely bad, to perhaps now horrible

Sorry for the lack of posts today - I have been out and about today and I was up in Baltimore County earlier on WNST with James Baker of Oriole Magic on the Sports with Mark Suchy where we chatted about the Orioles and the Hot Stove.It was a good time, and even though we were on for more than an hour and time sure went by real fast.Anyhow, it is a few days after the Jay Gibbons steroid announcement and Oriole Nation more or less wants him gone from the organization. However, it will be easier said than done considering his contract and the time, plus money left on it. I think will he will remain with the team, but he will be role player unless he can hit his way into the every day lineup. As most fans know, Gibbons will be suspended for 15 games.The Baltimore Examiner has more on the situation.Despite Gibbons' carefully crafted apology, the Baltimore Sun's Rick Maese has poked a few holes into it and basically rendered it useless in article on Friday. He shows that Gibbons' lied abo

My, my, my...Kansas City's Jose Guillen and Baltimore's Jay Gibbons were suspended for the first 15 days of next season by Major League Baseball on Thursday for violating the sport's drug program.The pair were linked in media reports to the purchase of human growth hormone. So were Gary Matthews Jr., Rick Ankiel, Troy Glaus and Scott Schoeneweis, but Major League Baseball decided there was "insufficient evidence" to determine they committed a doping violation.This suspension is nothing -- not a big thing. What happened to the 50-game deal? They may be guilty in the court of public opinion, but they are still rich and it's not like a suspension will do irreparable harm to their careers.It's a joke...Technorati Tags:jay gibbons, baltimore orioles, ped, hgh, steroids, baseball, mlb, mitchell report, drugs, kansas city royals, jose guillenGenerated By Technorati Tag Generator

The English school teacher who was imprisoned for allowing her class to name a teddy bear "Mohammed" is back home from Sudan.Gillian Gibbons is relieved, but in a rather low-key English way.Asked if she had been shocked by the punishment handed out to her, she said: "I am just an ordinary middle-aged primary school teacher. I went there to have a bit of adventure and got a bit more than I bargained for." One group who was not happy about Gibbons' escape from Sudan was B.A.I.R. (Bruins Against Islamic References).As was reported yesterday, BAIR spokesbruin, T.D. Bear, was still angry over Gibbons escaping with what he called "light punishment". He had call for Gibbons to be eaten by members of his group.No word yet on BAIR's reaction to Gibbons making it home to the U.K. safely.by Mondoreb[notes & graphic: RidesAPaleHorse][top photo: AP]Sources:CNN - "Toy Row Teacher Speaks of Ordeal"DBKP - "Teacher Pardoned: Unbearable Punishment Averted"Death by 1000 Papercuts Front Page.

Wow oh wow. This is encouraging news. In your face rabid Islamic extremists! Briton pardoned in Sudan Islam insult By ALFRED de MONTESQUIOU, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 46 minutes ago KHARTOUM, Sudan - A British teacher jailed for insulting Islam after allowing her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad was released Monday when Sudan’s president pardoned her, a British Embassy spokesman said. The teacher, Gillian Gibbons, said she did not intend to offend anyone and had great respect for Islam. “She is in British Embassy custody and is with the deputy British ambassador,” embassy spokesman Omar Daair said. He would not give her exact location or say when she would leave Sudan. Gibbons, 54, was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation for insulting Islam because she allowed her students to name a class teddy bear Muhammad, seen as a reference to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Her time in jail since her arrest Nov. 25 counted toward the sentence.

What have I been Saying All along? The Modern world and its citizens should not be cohabiting, teaching, visiting, meeting or coming into any contact with the primitive peoples of Africa, for God's Sake stop helping! I am sad to read that Mohamed teddy bear teacher, Gillian Gibbons, is spared lash but gets 15 days in jail. This light sentence will only encourage more do-gooders like Ms Gibbons to continue to come to Muslim countries where she and her kind will only further infuriate the locals with her wild and wicked Western ways (is that too alliterative?). A good Iranian-style hanging is what was really needed here. If these infidel idiots really want to help the world they should look in their own countries and educate and improve the lot of their own citizens before going to piss-holes like the Sudan. Want to know how Muslims thank the good-will and efforts of this teacher? A crowd of hundreds chanted for her death for insulting their religion. Over a stuffed-anima

The Baltimore Sun has an article on their website on Miguel Tejada and how he's going to be different this year by taking a more active and leadership role with the team. Also, there's another article about Miggy on orioles.com. Manny, Manny, Manny: According to CNNsi.com, Julian Tavarez said Manny Ramirez, his teammate, would report March 1 as he did last year when he received permission from the Red Sox to show up late. Tavarez said: "I spoke to Manny [Sunday] and he said he's going to be here March 1," said Tavarez, a reliever who joined the Red Sox before last season. "He's been going through a tough time because his mom, you know, they told him that she had a tumor. "It wasn't a tumor. She had surgery in between those ribs. She's at home right now recovering and Manny's there with his mom. He's working out," Tavarez said. "Nobody believes that, but it's the truth about his mom. That's really true." Terry Francona believes differently. "That's unfair because I hav
