Division is ours , bye is ours . It’s amazing we’re 6 clear of NYY and people are still semi scared

We have been the best team in MLB for 3.5 months

(And now you can all blame me when we lose 10/12 to end the season)

Were you alive in 1997?

Trauma responses to sports are a normal response for many Canadian sports fans.

The Yankees would need to go 13 out of 17 to beat them in that case, which is 0.765 or a 124 win pace. Boston would need to go 12/15 or 0.800/130 win pace. Neither seem likely to me even with the Yankees having an easy schedule, so I think 92 wins is enough for the AL east this year.

They need to stay ahead of the Astros to get the wild card bye, and 92 should be plenty for that as well. While the Astros have the tie-breaker, they also would need to win 13 of their last 15 to get 92 wins, which I think is pretty unlikely.

Since I wrote this they've won 4 in a row, so if they go 500 from here on out they'll have 94 wins. The Red Sox can't get to 95, and the Yankees would need to win all 12 of their remaining games. Neither the Mariners nor Astros could catch them if they get 94 wins either. They also have the season series vs the Tigers, so if they go 6-6 to finish off Detroit would need to go 10-2 to take the AL overall.

Probably the most important is the Yankees, and the magic number there is 7 with a combined 24 games played by the two teams.

What’s been interesting is they haven’t had like an awful losing stretch since they turned the corner.

Watching the other top teams (Tigers, Dodgers, Padres just as of late) they can lose like 4-5 games in a row.

Blue Jays bad stretches are like losing back to back series where they still grab a game in each of them.

At first I was wondering 97...the Jays were well into suck mode by that time. You must be thinking 1987....and the haunting of Doyle Alexander and his 9-0 run in 11 starts.

Although it was Frank Tananana who nailed that coffin on the last day of the season.

Jays finally cutting loser former touted prospect Orelvis Martinez, probably most famous for an 80-day PED suspension now.

Based loaded, none out.

Time to crush them.

Thatta boy MVP

3-0 Jays

[Hockey]

Jays finally get to a Rays pitcher pitcher early. Keep building that lead.

[MRCboicgy]

Tampa can suck it.

[Hockey]

Wonder if any player will fall for Giménez's fake out where balls go to the outfield. He does it a lot

[flamingred89]

Damn it Berrios.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Textbook fan interference

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Lukes almost got that

[Karl]

Jeffrey Maier strikes again.

[bluejays]

I think it's a stretch to call fan interference. Seems like a HR.

[Kasi]

Berrios can be left off the post season roster. Just not a useful starting pitcher at this point when best case is what like 6 ip, 3-4 ER. And that’s best case on the flip side he can just lose you games.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

The fans glove is past Luke’s’, lol

[flamingred89]

That's absolutely in the field of play.
