Toronto Blue Jays Talk

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.

If we can clinch the AL, we would theoretically have home field all playoffs because of the AL all star team winning.

Of course...we would have to win series for that to matter...

You keep saying "we" about a Toronto-based team.

That was really dumb having the makeup double header when they were one away from clinching. They would have had a chance at winning the second game if they were not thinking of celebrating. Then their magic number for tops in the league would have been down to 2.

It was ridiculous and compounded by the fact that they play in 30 minutes.

Jays will choke first round. The divison was their world series.

Why bother even playing?

they will be facing Mike Trout, the best player in the game and the real MVP of the AL.

There was no way around it. I'd rather they play a silly double-header than tack an extra game on the end of the schedule and potentially mess with the pitching rotation going into game 1 of the first playoff series.

It's a 50-50 on who it'll be. And the real MVP? Are you for real?

They should have trotted Hutch out last night. Not sure why they pitched Dickey in that scenario, but w/e.

They stick with the established rotation whenever possible, and it was Dickey's turn. As long as they can line up Price to start Game 1 of the playoffs, that's what matters.

They trotted Hutch out today and he's being gently molested. Man, he sucks sooooo hard.

They are playing the Orioles today. Right now, in fact. They should have made the double-header today (if they won game one yesterday).
