White Sox win tonight against the Yankees in the "Field of Dreams" game.
White Sox doing Jays a favour in the standings. https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article...d-dreams-game/
Look for the Kevin Costner speech given before the game. It's in the link above. I'll have to dig out the......... wait. I don't think my VHS player is working. LOL

The 9th inning was painful.

For the love of Brittney Spears' father.............. how many fucking times have the Jays bullpen fucked the team over? Tied up with the Mariners bottom of 9th. Bases loaded on walks. They switch pitchers and he walks in the needed run to end the game.
There were many lost opportunities in the game. When the winning run came in, there were two outs. Three walks in a row?

Then this happened at this years much awaited home opener............ another, "We're back to normal," moment for a lot of Blue Jays' fans. https://www.blogto.com/sports_play/2...dy-jays-games/

An infield home run. Like W - T - F ?
1-1 tie game, bottom of the 8th and center fielder gambles by diving after a shallow hit. He doesn't make it and the ball goes to the wall in the biggest ball park in the league. By the time they field the ball, the hitter runs all the fucking way around. It's all the Tigers needed to win the game. They say the team is young, but this has nothing to do with it. You go through the minor leagues to learn the basics. Center fielder wanted the glory. Well, fuck that....... you just looked like a little leaguer. All he had to do was to stop the ball from getting past him.
Yeah, buddy, you made the highlight reel, lol.
Never, ever, ever, ever, put yourself ahead of the team.

Blue Jays leading 2-0 against the Tigers at the top of the 8th. Another close game.
LOL, Kirk so slow. He hit the ball pretty close to second base, the shortstop decides to throw to first base instead of second, 'cause Kirk is so slow.
I always wAndered why Kirk looks kind of frumpy. Then it dawned on me. His mother dresses him funny. Everybody has nice fitting clothes. Kirk has pants that don't fit him. Today, it looks like he has gators on. It's a better look.

Holy lucifer's slimy balls, Shohei Ohtani hit in the hand by a pitch. I hope he's okay. At the top of his game and shit like this happens. https://dknation.draftkings.com/2021...gels-vs-padres

I'm still hoping to witness an immaculate inning. Chris Sale of Boston, just pitched an immaculate inning against the Twins on August 26th.
I don't think anyone on the Jays bullpen or rotation can do it. They say chances of witnessing one is more likely in modern times, as pitchers are so powerful these days.
I've seen an infield home run, a triple play, but the rarest would be an unassisted triple play. Never in a lifetime, I thought, would you see stealing all three bases in one appearance, but that rarity was accomplished July of last year by Dee Gordon. I have to search for that one.
I love baseball.

Umpire helped Romano out by calling an obvious ball, a strike. Mullins struck out, then Mountcastle. Took the series against the worst team in MLB. Should've swept them. Jays still 4.5 games out. Seattle doing better with 3 games behind in the wild card race.

Jays' three game series against Oakland is probably the most important one this season (pivotal). Still 30 games left, but Oakland is 2 games out of the wildcard race. Toronto 5, while the Mariners are 4 out.
Toronto down 0-2 bottom of the 4th.
Let's go, Blue Jays...........

For sure I thought there'd be a bench clearing brawl in this game. Rookie pitcher, Manoah hits a player up high. Player is pretty upset as two pitches were high. Next batter gets hit in the head. Good thing Manoah is 6 ft 6 and 260 lbs.
Oakland score two runs. The two hitters who got beaned. The A's are really giving it to Manoah. Talk about salty and not letting it go............ Harrison the first guy who got hit is still yapping. This is probably not over.

O - M - F - G ! !
For sure I thought game was over. 8-2 at the top of the 8th inning and it looked like it was over. Pitchers shitting the bed........... butt, butt, butt.......... the Jays come back to tie the game. 2 outs with nobody on and they turn it up. All of a sudden, 6 runs in.
Grand slam............. Lordy, Lordy, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. First pitch homer. Everybody knew it was gone. You could hear it. It was gone! You know it's gone when Buck Martinez didn't do the "Get up, get up ball, get out of here!"

A must win game. Top of the ninth inning, Romano, the Blue Jays' closer with 2 outs gives up a two run homer. !0-8 for Oakland. Can the jays do it? Yes, they can........ runners on second and third with nobody out. Marcus Semien comes up to plate against his former team and smokes that ball out of the park. Another, "No doubt about it," homers.
Hazel Mae is interviewing the hero when Manoah and Vladdy showers him with ice water. Good times!
Hazel is a master now at avoiding ice showers. She saw it coming at the last minute and took off. I am hoping the Hazel Mae Ice Shower, Bobblehead comes up on eBay. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/toro...tion?auto=true
Dan Shulman: An improbable win.........

Was really hoping for a walk-off homer from Semien to end the gam. Was amazing when it happened with all the fans on their feet.
Wish I was there to feel that energy after the tying grand slam.

The amazing part is, the pitching sucked monkey balls. Gotta hand it to the rookie, Manoah. He kept his composure and stayed in the clubhouse cheering the team on till the end.
Just watching "Misplays of the Month." So painful to watch some of the not so great plays.

Lol, Oakland players getting beaned by everybody. Another player got hit by a pitch. Different game, different pitcher. It’s probably their uniforms. Green and Gold colour combo.

Blue Jays doing a reverse of last night? 10-3 lead going to top of the 9th and now 10-8 with 0 outs.
EDIT: Close one.

Pitching sucks Skittles, but thank Lucifer, the bats are hot. Actually the A’s bullpen pretty much as bad as the Jays’ bull pen.
Yankee lost, but Mariners won. Making up five games is not easy.

Wow, the Blue Jays’ bats are smokin’ hot. 7-0 bottom of 3rd with one out. Home plate umpire establishes a wide strike zone, but who cares? As long as ump is consistent.
I wAnder when/if we’ll ever see a female ump………..

Some really important pieces of the puzzle coming back from injury. Good timing, if all goes well. Boston down 11 players due to Covid protocol. Still winning, though. And Seattle…….. damn those Mariners. Wasn’t that long ago when we were cheering them on before the Jays joined MLB.

Listening to Jays on SN 650 and SiriusXM the last few days, so glad to be watching the game with Buck and Tabby announcing/calling the game.
