5 Thoughts on the Toronto Blue Jays - Playoff Bound Edition

Well there you have it! 22 regular seasons of baseball in Toronto have come and gone since the last time that the Toronto Blue Jays have qualified for the baseball playoffs and finally The Toronto Blue Jays are on their way back!

5 thoughts from a great weekend and a Monday evening in Toronto Baseball!

1.  Kevin Pillar is the American League Player of the Week!  There's a phrase I can honestly say I wasn't going to be typing 5 months ago!  All kidding aside, Good on him.  Dude has been unreal this year for a guy who was maybe going to be the 4th outfielder on this team.   Love the hustle, love the heart and he's looking like he may be turning into a nice hitter as well!


2. I want to Party with Mark Lowe!  Dude looks like the kinda of Guy that would get you into a boat load of trouble!  Amazing!  #beerfacial


3. So as it sits right now the Blue Jays have a magic number of 2 going into Tuesday's game against the Orioles.  If the Jays win and the Yanks loose, the Blue Jays will win the AL East!  Yes,  I would have loved for the Jays to clinch the AL East back in Toronto!  The party would have been unreal and I'm pretty sure the City may have been burnt to the ground given all the pent up angst among Toronto Sports fans over the past 23 years, but since they did not, I hope to dear God they get it done while they are in Baltimore so the Orioles and Buck Showalter have bare witness to it and they burn that visiting club house to the ground.  FU Buck Showalter! FU! #familyblog


...Just thought of this....Do you think the possibility of watching the Blue Jays celebrate in his team's building hurt that much more for Dan Duquette?


4. I love that AA is getting so much love lately from Fans, Media and the Team for the job he's done this year and it is well worth it, but I am really hoping that Gibby starts to feel some of that Love too.  With this trip into the post season he's 1 of only three Managers to bring the Blue Jays to the Postseason.  Dude deserves some appreciation.  GIVE HIM APPRECIATION.......Hey remember when Buck Martinez was the Manager?  Ye me either......



5. As of Monday the Jays have 91 wins!  That's 2 more than I predicted at the start of the year and they still have 6 more games to play.  What an unreal season.... I don't think anyone could have really predicted a season like the one that has played out in front of us, and with all that being said I think however it plays out we are still in for one hell of a ride.  God Damn it's fun to be a Toronto Blue Jays fan right now!
