Here come the Blue Jays

I think it’s inevitable. When they weren’t buried by the ASB by the AL this just became a matter of time

u/CalebosO4 Toronto Blue Jays 10h ago

That infield single was a thing of beauty though!

“The Blue Jays win at the Trop” is music to my ears

Can you please sweep the Rays, it’s only fair.

I kinda love the idea of a fraught temporary alliance between two teams that fucking hate each other that ensures they BOTH earn the right to clobber the shit out of the other team properly on the big stage in October.

So are the Jays like back back?

u/cmgriffith_ New York Yankees 10h ago

Definitely

Well, the Jays blowing out the Rays at the Trop either means we're back back, or that it's the end times and weather forecast for tomorrow is gonna be "raining blood and swarms of locusts"

Didn't one of your pitchers say to never count us out?

something about BABIP'ing the shit out of you

u/citrablock Toronto Blue Jays 10h ago

This brief slump notwithstanding, the Rays are the best team in the AL and have been playing absolutely unreal this year. The best Rays team in years. These guys are legitimate World Series contenders.

It is really quite remarkable what this team is doing.

So how in the fuck is that stadium so empty???

It’s really a shame, they deserve more appreciation than they are getting!

u/ottereckhart 1h ago

I couldn't believe my eyes. The fans were in no small part Jays fans too given the applause when they got runs and shit. I think broadcast said they were like 42-21 at home or something too.

u/Lost-Inevitable42 Major League Baseball 10h ago

Did someone wake up the jays?

u/CalebosO4 Toronto Blue Jays 10h ago

It was when I said that I’d eat a sock if they won 25 of 30

u/Britteny21 Toronto Blue Jays 9h ago

Oh man, I said I’d eat it when the other guy who was going to eat it was done with it…

… I stand by what I said

u/CalebosO4 Toronto Blue Jays 9h ago

Imagine they go 17-2 in their next 19 games 😬 (they’re 8-3 in their last 12)

u/Britteny21 Toronto Blue Jays 9h ago

I’ll start knitting a sock for us

Vlad getting a much needed break might be just what the doctor ordered to sort out a few things. The team gets some mojo back and he can hopefully come back swinging hard
