Same here. It's been a blast (pun intended)
When I purchased the mlb package online this year I though I threw money away. Worth every cent!

I have followed the Jays from the very start and let me say that I have never seen an offence like this before....ever, in all of baseball.
I don't mind all the new fans jumping on the bandwagon. The team deserves all the support.
The only problem that I have with them going to the WS is that it may cost me $10,000. At the start of every season I tell the wife that if they make it I will be going no matter what the cost is.Oh well Go Jays!!!!

Haha. I told myself there was no way I wouldn't get to a playoff game when it happened, but looks like I'll be missing out. Just got back from a 3 week vacation to Cape Breton with the family and not exactly raking in the dough these days with the state of the oil patch. I'd even settle for a regular season game at this point. Enjoy the game when you go and post some pics!

Murderer's Row on the offence. Did I hear correctly they have the fewest intentional walks against because there is another slugger right behind ??
And the pitching!!!! 'Nuff said
And the defense, just makes the pitchers & sluggers look better.
Hope they win it all......

Blue Jays
I was at the game yesterday. These guys are playing with a lot of co confidence right now. And the fan support here in Toronto right now is something to see. But that comes from being in the centre of the universe

I just wish these fans would come out in full force every year. What happens when this team comes back to earth? I was 8 when they won the last World Series and I've been watching 100+ games a year ever since. I'm used to the struggles though I'm a Leafs fan and Raptors fan as well. Losing is a part of me. Haha. If the fans would come on a regular basis I think Rogers would be willing to dump money into free agents, and making the big trades to get them over the hump.

Great win
Great freaking game tonight!!!!!
They left a whole bloody platoon on base tonight....i think they were 0-12 WRISP going into the 10th. The 1st long ball by Donaldson should have been called a homer + they hit into a ton of dbl plays.
I also love the fact the NYY lost to Baltimore.
L.S.
EDIT**** Dickey was outstanding as well......

Did you guys hear about the big accident in Toronto?
400,000 Blue Jays fans injured when the bandwagon crashed into the stadium.

I disagree. Sure there's bandwagon jumpers. But a lot of us have cheered for them for our entire lives. It's tough to follow a .500 team closely for 20+ years.

It's just a joke but as a lifetime fan you have to agree they have a lot more fans right now than in previous years.

In some of the lean years we were 3rd in the AL east with a +.500 record, they would have been in 1st in any other division. This is one of the reasons for why the wildcard was introduced.
Yes there is some bandwagon jumpers but who cares this team deserves it.

I bought a hat and climbed back on. Baseball is hard enough to watch but when your team is brutal it's hard to justify to stay home and watch the game when there is fish to catch. Lol

Was nice for the Jays to win the double header. 4.5 games up on the Yankees. The bad news is Troy Tulowitzki is out for a spell. Should know more Sunday. However Pennington came to the rescue & that is good.
I wish a speedy but thoroughly good healing for Troy.

I haven't watched much baseball for the last while. But I've been laid up with a bad cold and watched the double header today. This Jays team definitely has something special going on. Wow.

After a disappointing weekend the Jays start a huge series against the Yankees tonight. They are still ahead of NY by 2.5 games. I'm glad Price is starting.
Go Jays!!!!

I honestly believe they will only need to win 1 out of 3 in this series to take the division. Avoid the sweep with Price pitching tonight and the rest is gravy. They aren't outta the woods, but looking good
