Congrats to the Royals. Not gonna be rotten about this.

The Jays really brought back some pride to the city's sports scene that hasn't been there in ages. The Raptors' playoff berths the past couple of years were one thing, but the Jays took it so far.

Hopefully the new fans stick around next season. Jays bringing back a solid group. Rogers going to dish out some cash this offseason.

 

[Helmholtz]

Such a brutal loss for the Jays. When we had Pompey on third with no outs I really felt like we'd tie it up.
Hoping for the best next season.

 

[jello44]

You don't even need the last 7 words of that sentence.

you good peoples cashman

 

[rinse82]

Fuck Toronto.

Fuck you too.


On the balk, was it obvious? I missed it.

 

[Malo]

See you until after the Stanley Cup, Jays fans!

You did good, Cashman.

 

[Askani]

Wow. Amazing.

Great fight Jays. I think you have a solid and, other than Douche-tista, a likable team. GL next year.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Ah so good. Can' wait to spend the entire offseason watching Jay fans complain about the umps.

:lol Can't wait to see Royals fans crying about letting another championship fall through their grasps. Delicious offseason for sure.

 

[Branduil]

Damn Branduil and I liked you before

Congrats to KC, just couldn't get it done

Maybe if they had less fans complaining that only two WS titles in 3 decades is somehow true baseball suffering.

 

[StudioTan]

I feel like the Jays lost this series in that game 2 collapse. That should have been a win.

 

[psynergylover]

damn, feel for you Blue Jay fans, have people on 2nd and 3rd with no outs and still lose....heartbreaker

don't worry the Mets shall avenge your loss

 

[Ninja Scooter]

A-Rod just flushed any chance of ever getting a GM job in the future down the toilet.

 

[outunderthestars]

It was him or you bunt Suzuki.

Neither is optimal.

Suzuki is a great bunter. Then you have a tie game with the go ahead run at third with one out.

 

[lazybones18]

please let A-Rod be part of the WS pregame. Pete can fuck off though

Don't go full Splitter bruh. Just don't do it.

 

[Malo]

Someone needs to start the off-season thread and world series thread. And please don't let frozen prince start the world series thread.

 

[3N16MA]

Mets in 7. 19 inning game 7.

 

[PInk Tape]

That game was so tense to watch, yet so enjoyable.

'Grats to KC GAF and cheers to Jays GAF. Even though you guys didn't win; y'all had a great season.

 

[GK86]

Man, looks like I missed a great game.

 

[Frozenprince]

Suzuki is a great bunter. Then you have a tie game with the go ahead run at third with one out.

He is, but you can't chance a squeeze against the best defensive infield in the majors, and with Davis it's much harder to get one down because his ball is so heavy that you can stab early and pop it.

 

[mdubs]

Maybe if they had less fans complaining that only two WS titles in 3 decades is somehow true baseball suffering.

I just thought you seemed like a cool dude before, oh well

It's more in the context of broader Toronto sports that the sentiment comes from, it hasn't been a good 22 years

 

[Quick]

Hopefully the new fans stick around next season. Jays bringing back a solid group. Rogers going to dish out some cash this offseason.

Yep. I hope to see the Dome filled up a bit more next summer.

And there's so many pluses to build up on. Rogers definitely better spend big time. Watching a budget roster for years has been frustration until recent years.

 

[Lionel Richie]

JUST WIN BABY!

 

[PROh1bited]

Well at least the stress filled nights are over for me now. I'll see you guys in the off season OT.

 

[outunderthestars]

Fuck you too.


On the balk, was it obvious? I missed it.

Didn't look like a balk to me. The umps didn't cost us a win, the complete lack of creativity from.Gibbons, coupled with Revere and Price under performing in the ALCS doomed us.

 

[jello44]

Someone needs to start the off-season thread and world series thread. And please don't let frozen prince start the world series thread.

Is there anything special that needs to be done or can I just make the off-season thread?

I'm surprised it hasn't been made yet!

 

[cashman]

Someone needs to start the off-season thread and world series thread. And please don't let frozen prince start the world series thread.

At this point, might as well just finish the season before starting the off season thread.

You're just jelly.

 

[ryan-ts]

Good game Royals, good luck in the World Series.

 

[orochi91]

Well done, KC, they were the better team from start to finish throughout this whole series.

Jays need to beef up their bullpen and starting pitching next season.

Replacing Goins with someone more capable at hitting would be wise as well.

David Price won't be worth whatever mammoth contract he inevitably signs though, as the guy simply can't perform when it matters most.

 

[Cormano]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BACK TO BACK AL CHAMPS!!!!

*fist bump*

 

[bonesmccoy]

Gah! Phone erupted in after Bautista hit the HR, and continued to until the last out.

What a season. Let's hope Rogers opens up the bank accounts so the rotation and bullpen, and fuck it, the line up, can keep improving.

Congrats, Royals-GAF.

 

[criesofthepast]

The last person I wanna hear from is Alex fucking Rios get him off my TV scrub ass mother fucker. Fuck you.

So Rogers better pony up this off season.

I don't care about Price coming back personally. Would rather save it for Estrada, Jose AND EE in 2017. Keep Dicky with his option. He can still eat innings and he comes pretty cheap. But it Rogers really steps up and you can have allnof the above and Price then giddy up.

Bullpen needs help bad. Cecil needs to be paid too.

 

[Malo]

please let A-Rod be part of the WS pregame. Pete can fuck off though

He's doing the world series, friend.

 

[outunderthestars]

He is, but you can't chance a squeeze against the best defensive infield in the majors, and with Davis it's much harder to get one down because his ball is so heavy that you can stab early and pop it.

So the alternative is to send someone with a .083 BA to the plate?

 

[Big-E]

You dont deserve to win going 0 for 12 with RISP. Horrendous.

 

[Lexxism]

Yep. I hope to see the Dome filled up a bit more next summer.

And there's so many pluses to build up on. Rogers definitely better spend big time. Watching a budget roster for years has been frustration until recent years.

I think there's a great chance of people rushing to buy a season tickets after their great run this year.

 

[billeh]

I just thought you seemed like a cool dude before, oh well

We'll give you a cup for one of those WS wins, how 'bout it?

Jays actually have a better 2nd baseman but he was injured. Devon Travis.

Our bullpen was missing Cecil.

They have Devon Travis.

 

[JDHarbs]

Escobar gets MVP. Great for him.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Come on, Mets. You're our only hope. Can't stand the Royals and their antics.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Fuck you too.

On the balk, was it obvious? I missed it.

I wasn't even close to a balk. He came set for a full second and a half, and delivered straight to home.

You can argue two of the strike calls, which were borderline and probably balls.

Regardless, the Blue Jays have to score at least one guy from 90 feet with no outs. Especially when you've got Donaldson at the plate to end it. Give Wade Davis some credit for going nuts at the end there.

 

[Syphon Filter]

whats wrong?

Agreed. Price seems to have the foritude of Glass Joe from Punch Out. Let the Dodgers or Yankees over pay for his soft ass.

 

[CygnusXS]

So, no baseball until Tuesday. Ugh

 

[Avon Barksdale]

Mets in 5. Lockdown pitching, unlike the Jays and the Astros.

 

[Malo]

Is there anything special that needs to be done or can I just make the off-season thread?

I'm surprised it hasn't been made yet!

Nope. Go ahead and make it!

At this point, might as well just finish the season before starting the off season thread.

I've been holding in my stupid trade proposals and off-season ideas for far too long.

You're just jelly.

You didn't even bother updating the op past the first wild card game.

 

[3N16MA]

Great pitching vs hitters who make contact with everything.

Good series.

Sadly Donaldson wasn't the same the last six weeks of the season. Once pitchers figured out he would swing at almose any garbage on the first pitch, his numbers plummeted.

Joey Bautista is the true MVP of the team.

 

[pestul]

Now I have to listen to my mother moan about calls for about a week. Only the 2-1 pitch to Revere pissed me off, but they should still get that run in.
