Toja was really fun to watch for the first part of last season..mostly frustrating ever since. Seems likes a great guy, but I am not really sure what position is right for him. For sure, not a playmaking OM.

If Toja performs in Bucharest like he did here this year he might wind up working in a coffee shop.

More than a small part of me believes that Toja’s selection to the All Star Game has more to do with increasing his perceived value than it does his season performance.

Face it- the guy tanked on us this year. Not hurt, Got a raise. Got a longer contract.

Sounds like he wanted more $$$ to start playing again.

Sad, I really liked Juan as a player (twelve months ago).

I wonder why this team is so infautuated with toja… he hasn’t done anything this year unless they’re watching tape from before the all-star break last year

Jamie,

If Hyndman really wanted to buy into Colombian stereotypes, he could always kidnap Toja.

So Hitch sells the best center mid on the team, and fan favorite, due to a glutony of them? Wasn’t he the one that fired Morrow because he couldn’t sell tickets with him as coach?

Jamie – I don’t think it’s racist. I think it’s a good idea. Who would know coffee better than a Colombian?

Awesome, Buzz. Thanks for working your sources — 3rddegree is the best.

Meanwhile, Los Toros are having fun instigating an international fracas with the Romanian press. Supposedly we made it onto the Bucharest nightly news last night. Good times!

Well, I must say I am impressed with SH. I’ve watched SH and Toja and they seem to have a really good relationship. I am glad to see him fight for Toja and I am also glad to see his best interest as well.

Everything that the coach stated about Juan is true. He is a good player. Maybe not 100% right now but he can still cause some impact on the field and he has made a difference in the team. The players respect him and he is a very kind person.

Whatever happens is for the best and I am glad to see some support for a change.

Thanks Buzz!

Good non-report!

Does anyone else think Hyndman meeting a Colombian player at a coffeeshop is racist?
