Default Sept. 28-Oct. 1: Blue Jays vs. Orioles Series Thread

Toronto Blue Jays (90-65, conquering Kings of the post-season) vs. Baltimore Orioles (76-79, pack of losers led by their loser manager Buck Showalter)

Probable Starters:

Monday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Marco Estrada, 13-8, 3.13 ERA; BAL: Chris Tillman ERA
Tuesday @11:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Marcus Stroman, 3-0, 1.89 ERA; BAL: Miguel Gonzalez, 9-11, 4.85 ERA
Wednesday @11:00 Mountain Time: TOR: R.A. Dickey, 11-11, 4.00 ERA; BAL: Kevin Gausman, 3-7, 4.49 ERA
Thursday @11:00 Mountain Time: TOR: David Price, 18-5, 2.45 ERA; BAL: TBD

I can't imagine there are many (any?) people left who think Josh Donaldson isn't the AL MVP. What more could the guy possibly do to seal his credentials? I'd imagine David Price is the front runner for the AL Cy Young as well ... and I still can't believe he's on our team!

The Jays are going back to the post-season and while I'm thrilled beyond belief, the Wild Card game just kind of feels 'meh' at this point. I think my true celebration (and perhaps man-tears) will come when they clinch the AL East pennant away from the stinkin' Yankees. With a magic number of 4, it could theoretically happen tomorrow.

Don't know what else to say, really! Playoff baseball!
