Did not know that..........

I knew Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon were tax free states. Learn something new every day. NVM, income tax.

Watching the Mariners Tigers double header. Just realized, wth? Who cares about this series, Jays have finished on top of the wild card race, lol.

Put in Yuseless Kikuchi tomorrow, ffs.......... I want to see Moreno get some opportunities. I have a feeling this guy is going to be the next A-Rod......... okay, maybe not. Here's to hoping.

Lol......... still watching the Mariners game. They showed this old clip because one of the players kicked the ball foul when the ball just died in fair territory. Funny, but not as funny as this...............


One of the comments. Not a blown call by the ump, hee hee, hue hue, pew pew........

I've never seen a baseball park so empty. It's the last day of baseball for the Orioles, but nobody to watch them. So sad. Mind you, it is game one of a double header, so more fans will make their way to say good bye to their team.

Good to see the noobs, Moreno and Lopez, doing well.

So long ago, but what an exciting time. Looking forward to post season.............


Anouncers at today's game were saying Bichette watches this to get pumped up for games. He was a teenager when he was drafted by the Jays. His dream is to experience what Bautista did in Toronto.

But why Tampa specifically?

Florida's tax rate is statewide, there are other teams in different cities in Florida that suck ass, so I still wonder why Tampa has such good teams across the board specific to that city?

The two teams that joined the MLB together back in 1977.

Damn............... Go, Jays, GO!!!!!!!!!!

1:07 start.


World Series Wins:

Toronto = Two

Seattle = Zero

So happy all three games are in TO. Player intros including everybody behind the scenes. Wouldn't happen if it were in Seattle.

That flag.......... been so long since we've seen it.


Encarnacion throwing out the ceremonial pitch to Guerrero. Junior gets the ball signed. Probably not going to him, but damn.

Jays behind 4-0 at the bottom of the 6th.

Seattle pitching is better than Toronto. Bull pen is 1000 times better than Toronto.

Hitting is at par, so Blue Jays are in tough. Castillo > Manoah. Seattle has better fielding record. If the Jays can't string hits together, they're toast. Stranding players again.

If the Jays lose this series, I don't mind, because Seattle is a good team and they deserve it.

Baseball always comes down to better pitching when it comes to the playoffs. A hot pitcher always silences hot bats, hopefully whoever pitches tomorrow is on point.

Look at the bright side, the wildcard used to be only one game, and Castillo can't pitch the rest of the series lol

Cy Young winner and former Blue Jay, pitcher, Robbie Ray for Seattle. Damn........... if the Jays somehow win game two, the pitcher up for game three is one of their best, Logan Gilbert.

Like I mentioned earlier, their bull pen is one of the best there is.

Yeah they gotta step it up for sure, if they can get an early lead that will be key before it gets to the bullpen. Ray isn't having as good of a year as in the past so they have a chance.

Still early, but Gausman is getting it done. The Jays have to take advantage of the good pitching, 'cause that is the biggest issue with this team. Inconsistent pitching.

Go, Jays, GO!!!

Hopefully, Robbie Ray pulls a Russell Wilson.


YES!!!!! Kirk with a stand up double and......... and....... Teoscar with a Homer!!!!!!


Finally, the crowd has something to cheer about.

Should have kept Gausman in there. Two outs, let him finish the inning. Mayza comes in and gives up 4 runs. Gausman has dropped jaw as he watches his work go down the toilet. The runs go on his record, too. Damn......... the bullshit screws it up again. I was going to say, the Jays are up 8-1, not enough to bring Yuseless in the game, gulolol.

For the love of Linda Lovelace............. Chapman beats out the ball to first base. If he had run through, he would have been out, but he goes head first into first and gets his hand on the base a split second before the pitcher got his foot on the bag.

9-5 Jays at the bottom of the 7th.

OMFG! Bass is ass.......... 9-6 now and runners at first and second with ZERO outs! Romano is in, but it's now bases loaded with no outs. For crying out loud. pitching lets this team down AGAIN!!!

It's a do or die game and the bullshit continues.


The Jays' fans deserve better.


Damnit to hell............ tied game, but worse yet, two injured Blue Jays players on the field. Collision trying to get a pop up. Bichette is sort of okay, but George Springer had to be carted off...........

Adversity if there ever was one.


Seattle with the lead............ looks like this year will come to an end. Well, I can finally get some gardening done.

One run to tie the game and two to win it. No runs and it's over. Down to their last three outs. Seattle throwing out a starter. Why not? Win this game and you're going on to the next series.

It's official. Seattle sweep the Jays.

Congratulations, Seattle. Well deserved win. Blue Jays pitching killed it. Ahead 8-1 and they blow that lead. 10-9 final.

Oh well. It is what it is.



Seattle now needs to go all the way.

Casual observer of the Jays this year but definitely figured for me anyway the 2 keys going in were the bullpen and whether or not the bats could be silenced. I thought the Mariners were beatable and regardless of who they were to face next it would have stopped there. Better luck next time.

Bichette is a horrible fielder. Get the fuck out of the way it's way easier for someone to run in on a ball than to chase it like that. You injure the best player on the team and blow the lead with selfish bullshit like that.

Wow, so nice to see the Yankees get swept in the ALCS.

Glad to see that cocky blood sucker, Bader, get nothing.

Pretty obvious now that the Jays couldn't have hung with any of the finalists.............. there's always next year. How about Aaron Judge as a Blue Jay? Wishful thinking. Jays need better pitching.

Man so much crazy shit always happens in the MLB playoffs. Astros up 5-0 with Verlander cruising and suddenly the Phillies come back and win it 6-5.

I really didn't care for either team to win this but I think with the Astros being the cheats they are im cool with them losing and not having a legit World Series win to boast about.
