WooHoo! We live to play another meaningful day.

Glad Osuna was able to not lose control after that balk. But I feel so bad for Happ. Again the bullpen lost his 21st win.

Thank you Yankees. Thank you Braves.

So, both the Jays and Orioles got wild card berths.

That puts the top 3 teams from the AL East in the playoffs.

Sox go to Cleveland for game 1 on Thursday. Have to play better than they have the last week. Seems like they have checked out since they clinched the division.

Hope to see you at the ALCS. We may be down a few players though. We have to make it through the O's and then the Rangers. The one game might become a hockey game....but the series with the Rangers will probably just be a slugfest.

Other than one fan, it was a good clean game tonight.

Umpire seemed to be having an "on" night....which mean players from both teams were occasionally disagreeing with him, but on replay almost every call looked good.

Not sure who was calling the game. Post season we never get our regulars. But these guys were much better than last year. But, could somebody tell them, Montreal is not in Ontario. Lol

Next up....Texas. I'm not looking forward to this. I hope they have excellent umpires. It's gonna get bumpy.

Dramatic win for the Jays.

Texas will be tough. Especially if Osuna blew out his shoulder. Which it looks like he may have, despite the Team saying it was "fatigue".

I don't believe it's fatigue. Not really being talked about here though. Everyone wants the police to release the picture they have of the person ( I suspect female) that threw the can. They say they have a picture and are suggesting the person turn themselves in or they will release it.

Is this who you want, or who you think will win each matchup?

Of course I want the Jays to go all the way. But if we don't, I'll probably be rooting for the Sox. Definitely will be rooting for them if we get eliminated by Texas.
