Hey Frank don't worry be happy!

Try telling jp he dresses like a pimp and
your sure to get a job with the cub's.

They love picking up x jays to bolster
their team.

Looks ricky retardo is pulling another
off his ever lengthening line of cheap underhanded moves to try and
motivate
a guy...ya right.

Blue Jays designated hitter Frank Thomas was livid Saturday after
getting benched in favor of Matt Stairs and being told by manager John
Gibbons he can expect further cuts to his playing time. 

Thomas did not shake hands with his teammates following Toronto's 3-2
victory over Detroit on Saturday and left the clubhouse without speaking
to re****ters. 

"I'm angry, I know I can help this team. My career isn't going to end
like this," he said before the game. 

The 39-year-old Thomas is hitless in his past 13 at-bats and has gone
4-for-35 since homering in three straight games April 5-8. He has 516
home runs, putting him 18th on baseball's career list. 

Thomas signed a two-year, $18-million contract with Toronto in November
2006. 

The deal includes a $10 million option for 2009, but only if Thomas
makes 376 plate appearances this season. 

Thomas is batting .167 with three homers and 11 RBIs in 60 at-bats. He
said the Blue Jays are cutting his playing time to prevent the option
from kicking in. 
"It's pretty obvious," Thomas said. "Sixty at-bats isn't enough to make
that decision. 
Gibbons would not specify how frequently he planned to use Thomas. 

"I'm going to put the team out there that gives us the best chance to
win," Gibbons said. "I feel for the guy, but right now we need more
production." 

General manager J.P. Backyards denied that Thomas' contract factored
into the move. 

"I think the decision is the manager's based on what he thinks is best
for the team," Ricciardi said. "As a team we're struggling offensively
and I just think Gibby is trying to spark our offense a little bit." 

Thomas batted .277 for Toronto last season, leading the team with 26
home runs and 95 RBIs
