I'm almost as amped up for today's game as I was for the Jays and Stanley Cup playoffs in the early 90s as a kid. :ultimatewarriorsprint:
I used to think hockey playoffs were the best in sport. In the last 10 to 15 years, my mind has made a complete change -- baseball playoffs are the best. Every pitch and out counts. Getting to watch baseball playoffs wall-to-wall from 1 pm to 1 am EST can't be topped.I am from Toronto originally and through luck had family in the same neighbourhood as a blue jay's dad when I was a kid and my family was good friends with his parents. I got to go to his dad's house quite often for visits and sometimes he was there sometimes I would just sit and watch soccer with his dad as he was a massive fan and I knew nothing of the professional sport while they had a few beers and talked.
Anyways, they would routinely gift me free tickets and when I would go to games he would tell me to meet him at a specific entrance and then give me free stuff. Some things I got were blue jays hat and shirt, things like the playguides with some signatures in there of the players, that kind of stuff mostly things from the store for free.
I got to see probably a dozen free games. But I never really watched the sport outside of that. It was just something for a 10 year old kid to do and I could spend time with my uncle as he would take me to the games I got the tickets for. And so, when I moved from the city I stayed a die hard Leafs fan but basically forgot about the blue jays.
I have no idea of the sport but f it might watch the game with you guys today for old times sake.
Nothing beats the NFLI used to think hockey playoffs were the best in sport. In the last 10 to 15 years, my mind has made a complete change -- baseball playoffs are the best. Every pitch and out counts. Getting to watch baseball playoffs wall-to-wall from 1 pm to 1 am EST can't be topped.
Eh hard disagree there. NFL is probably better then the NBA but MLB and NHL playoffs are in a league of their own.Nothing beats the NFL
Agreed, MLB playoffs are so intenseI used to think hockey playoffs were the best in sport. In the last 10 to 15 years, my mind has made a complete change -- baseball playoffs are the best.

I couldn't give two shits about the NFL.Nothing beats the NFL
No right or wrong, just preference.Eh hard disagree there. NFL is probably better then the NBA but MLB and NHL playoffs are in a league of their own.
NBA is just a bad product at this point.No right or wrong, just preference.
NFL > NHL > MLB for me.
NBA is unwatchable
