Toronto Blue Jays Talk

Jays go again in 20 minutes...now it's time to set their sights on 1st in the AL. Just. Keep. Winning.

and the beat goes on. Jays sweep rays, magic number down to 4. Hope somehow they get the angels in the ALDS. Then I can catch some more games!

So weird seeing the skydome packed like that. Missing out on the fever!

That's a crazy atmosphere to be involved in. Pretty awesome stuff.

Jays and Royals tied for the top spot in the AL. Seven games left for each.

Home field is huge.

Jays hold the tie breaker, btw.

gotta love the soft generation we live in. Everyone mad at Papelbon because he went after Harper after Harper said "fight me right now".

It's such a double edged sword though. Papelbon is right, Harper should show an example to the rest of the team and hustle at all times, but then, Papelbon should also realize that he's the team's golden boy and you can't win this war in the media or with fans. I think if given a redo, Papelbon would take him aside in the clubhouse and say what needed to be said instead of doing it right after the incident.

It's a bad situation all around because Papelbon was brought in to help Washington and they've sucked since he got there and now he's the odd man out if he's picking a fight with the poster boy. Good drama though.

Wait ... there are other teams in the Majors besides the Blue Jays? Wow, learn something new every day.

To be fair, though, you don't physically attack a teammate in the dugout. It was exceptionally dumb. Harper seems like an idiot too, but Papelbon is the King Idiot in this situation.

It was dumb but not that dumb. Everyone thinks Harper had it coming. Read this article to see the opinion of big leaguers: http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-outside/story/jonathan-papelbon-bryce-harper-fight-current-ex-players-support-pitcher-long-time-coming-092715

There's no way you're not a douche if you look like Harper.

Do it in the clubhouse, not in "public".

I would dislike Harper if he wasn't Mormon. They're the best

The second 'm' is silent?

Congratulations to the Blue Jays for making the Leafs drought look even worse.

Now we have to focus on KC. We have the tie breaker and KC needs to make up 1 1/2 games on us in the final 4 games.

Magic number is 3 to clinch the AL I think.
