Toronto Blue Jays

[diggyj]

Well I'm sad to say that my team is officially sucking this year, and I must say I am shocked and surprised that they are in last place in the AL East. Didn't see that coming at all. So they finally made some changes which I hope will move them up in the standings, if it's not allready to late.

On Friday, the Blue Jays dismissed manager John Gibbons, hitting coach Gary Denbo, who was signed to a two-year deal over winter by Ricciardi, was let go, as were first-base coach Ernie Whitt and third-base coach Marty Pevey.

Cito Gaston, who helped guide Toronto to World Series titles in 1992 and '93, returned as the manager. Taking over as the new hitting coach is Gene Tenace, who spent time as a bench coach and hitting coach under Gaston from 1990 to '97. Nick Leyva assumes the role of third-base coach -- a job he filled on Gaston's previous staff from 1993-97. Dwayne Murphy was hired as the new first-base coach after serving as Toronto's roving Minor League hitting instructor.

GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
