Give em hell Jays.

I'm guessing Estrada game 1, Price game 2, Dickey game 3, Stroman game 4, Estrada game 5, Price game 6, Dickey game 7.

Buehrle and Hutchitson take the spots of Cecil and Loup?

Should be a great series.

(Pluck me if Tulo bats below the half-Mendoza again...)

There's some bad blood there. Should be an awesome series. Hopefully not too many games are at 10 am.

So who get's the ball game 1? Estrada?

Game 1 - Estrada
Game 2 - Price
Game 3 - Stroman
Game 4 - Dickey

Sound about right?
Hopefully Price can find his mojo in the playoffs. He's been underwhelming thus far.

And we'll never be Royals.
It don't run in our blood,
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.



Let's go Blue Jays!

Put Stroman in Game 3 so you can use him again in Game 7 if you have to.

He would be on short rest though... wouldn't he?

The way the last series went, I guess it isn't a huge deal that they don't have home field advantage.

Love it, I was legit bummed when KC was down 6-2 in game 4 because I want all the shenanigans that'll come from this series.

Watched the post-game celebration again and did anyone notice Price and Stro. Those guys seem tight. The whole team seems so close. I really hope Jays match any offer Price gets on the market because it seems like he would be willing to stay here. Fits in for sure.

It's not going to be the money per year, it'll be the term. That's the killer

I like a fly ball pitcher like Estrada pitching in Kauffman stadium and Dickey throwing the knuckler indoors.

We started the post trade deadline run against KC and we'll keep it going against KC.

Can't wait for the drama that will ensue. I'll put the over-under on hit batters at 6.

With Beeston gone the 5 year term cap should go with him. But I agree, term will be the sticking point in negotiation. As a fan I say throw the money at him. What the team decides I have no idea. Price seems to enjoy playing in Toronto but he is also a pretty happy go lucky guy on a winning team so it is hard to read.

Overall it shouldnt be too big a deal. The Jays have a lot of guys under control so they can stay competitive.

And that is the last I will say about that. Whatever happens I want to focus on now!

Go Jays Go!

Is it basically an assumption that Buehrle comes in, replacing the injured Cecil? I like Brett Cecil so I was pretty bummed that he got injured but Buehrle might be an okay consolation prize.

I just started watching the past two months, recovering from major knee surgery because it seemed there was nothing on except Blue Jays in the summer. Got me hooked. Call me a bandwagoner but go Jays!

Anyone remember what the beef was about between the Jays and the Royals?

I remember the dust up but not the stuff that lead up to it.

I saw it as Stroman expressing his emotion jumping up and down and the vet Price with a concern for Stroman, coming back from a torn ACL, from doing anything dumb while celebrating. In saying that those two seem like a very close pairing. Heck, It seems like everyone on the pitching staff is Stromans best friend.

At least we don't have to face the Astros pitching. That's not to say that the Royals are not dangerous in their own right.

I also hate minute maid park because I don't think the Jays have ever won a game there.

Hopefully the players remain calm throughout the ALCS.

I think the earliest start time will be 1330h Mountain time, just like game 2 of this series.
