Well here we are...

The longest playoff drought in the MLB will end today at the Rogers Centre.

You're on the clock Seattle!

In the one corner we have the Texas Rangers. A solid cast of characters led by Adrian Beltre, Shin-Soo Choo and Prince Fielder. They didn't really have a "guy" on their team that led them to the post-season but they definitely were one of the best teams in the second half that helped them get here. They did pick up Cole Hamels at the trade deadline as well...





In the other corner you have a team and a fanbase which has been desperately waiting for this moment and a country that has gone baseball crazy. The Blue Jays definitely had an interesting season. They started out very poorly and were hit with some very key injuries at the start of the season. They were 50-51 and more than 5 games back of the AL East crown but AA decided to go all in and picked up the likes of Tulowitzki, Lowe, Hawkins, Revere, Pennington and a guy by the name of David Price who is one of the favorites for the Cy Young award. The team was definitely led by MVP favorite Josh Donaldson and has the best offense in baseball.

Ready to rock. Let's do this.

Was hoping Hamels could find a way to pitch all of them.

On one hand I like UT

On the other hand im not convinced he knows what a based ball is

Mandatory viewing in case you've been living in a cave for the last six months:



Last forty seconds of this next clip is a preview for the type of beatdown the Jays are going to give this to glorified .500 "division winner" this series.

I had to redo the OP and forgot to include this...

The last time the Blue Jays played in the playoffs, this happened...

CITO GASTON TO THROW OUT FIRST PITCH FOR GAME ONE

I know of at least 15 people (includi myself) who are already in Toronto or planning on traveling to Toronto for alcs from saskatoon.

Whole country is going nuts. If they make it to world series trying to get tickets is going to be hard.

Martin Perez annouced as the Rangers game 3 starter, cha-ching.

He is the exact type of average shmohawk LHP that the Jays regularly destroy.

Texas vs Canada. Just the way I like it.
