Blue Jays Discussion: Will play Texas in the ALDS (Playoff Avatars in Posts 1-4)

[TF97]

She's apparently had concerts all over the states, and after the concert the team that plays in that building has started playing poorly. She had a concert in the Rogers Centre this past week.

I hope the Blue Jays are able to take the Taylor Swift curse and just Shake It Off. I don't think the Rangers have a chance to win this series, not even in their Wildest Dreams, I think the Blue Jays will win in Style by hitting lots of baseballs out of the ballpark. I think on Sunday in Texas, the Rangers will glance at the Blue Jays from across the field and think to themselves, "I Knew You Were Trouble When You Walked In". This Blue Jays season has almost been like a Love Story, as they haven't made the playoffs in 22 years. It really is hard not to be romantic about baseball. I hope the Blue Jays look at the Commissioner's trophy and think "You Belong With Me".

Some of you might get this...

I think what he said is worthy of an infraction...

Agreed infract the traitor

I plan on making the trip down from Montreal and finding tickets while i'm there! Seeing as it's a weekday game a lot of my friends are having trouble getting the days off from work. Looks like I might have to go alone!

Sports Illustrated had a great stat in a story today: of all of the teams in the playoffs, only the Yankees and the Cardinals have won a World Series more recently than Toronto. There are a lot of tortured fanbases in the playoffs this year.

Glad to know it's finally settled.

Honestly I would have been fine with either Stroman or Dickey in game 2.

 

[tml19]

Why is this even a question? Stroman is closer to being at Price's level then Dickey is to Stro's.

There is merit to having Dickey in game 2 which has been talked about ad nauseum. Stro being the better pitcher wins out in the end.

I understand why Dickey going in game 2 could be beneficial but having a player of the caliber that Stroman is way more important. Stroman gives us the best chance to win on Friday and that is all that should matter.

Yep. I'm glad I'm not the one who has to make these decisions!

Ellsbury simply got benched, not injured or anything. Pretty brutal by Girardi, like I have said before I think he is one of the worst managers in the game.

Very good hitters! Hopefully pitching wins out.

Their righty lineup
I would still go with ellsbury
He got hot the last few wks

He gets on with a little chip shot to left center and steals a base..

So apparently SN doesn't have rights to produce playoff games so we will be getting (I assume) the following feeds for games 1-4: Game 1 - FS1 / Game 2 - MLB Network / Game 3 - ESPN Sunday Night Baseball / Game 4 - FOX National.

Does MLB International do the entire postseason or just the World Series? Sure would be nice to get Gary Thorne, voice of the Orioles, for the Jays games. (PLEASE CALL HOCKEY AGAIN TOO GARY!!!)

"DRIVEN TO LEFT FIELD AAAAAAAAANNNNNDDDD GOODBYE! HOME RUN!

In case anyone cares OLG still has an o/u on Ellsbury hits at .5

MLB Network has production qualities of a CHL team. Give me the Fox/ESPN feed any day.

Looks like Sunday we get to hear Dan Shulman call the Jays game. Sweet!

 

[wetcardboard]

Any word if the roof will be open under good weather? Waiting for Rogers Centre to tweet me back.

MLB gets to decide for the playoffs.

Lefty. Chris Young will likely make the difference tonight.

Would love to see houston crush tanaka early and watch the fans leave after 5 innings
With a cold drizzle and ice wind entering the stadium

Chris Young has mashed lefties this year.

I'm praying for the ESPN deportes feed.

A lo profundoooooooooooo y no no no no no!!!

I knew he was a good lefty masher, but those splits are insane. That move makes some sense now, but I still hate Girardi as a manager

Beautiful. Like a young Robert Frost.
