Baseball Season 2016

Yes. I live about 5 minutes walk from the Roger's Centre.

Nice, I was at Wellington and Blue Jays until a few months ago. In the east end now.

I'm Wellington and John. Which part of the east end? I'm looking for an area to move to early next year, so interested to hear recommendations.

I'm in the Upper Beaches, north of Kingston Road and just east of Main. It's definitely quieter out this way but Kingston Road is a decent strip with a few bars (including Feathers which allegedly has the second biggest Scotch collection in North America - I plan to have a Brighton scarf up in there in the near future). Leslieville is a 5/10 minute cab ride which is a bonus. The big sell though is the 10-min walk to Danforth GO and 10-min train ride to Union. I wish I had been in a position to buy 5 years ago because the prices have gone way up.

I'm nervous already. I can't see it being anything other than a close game with 1 or 2 runs in it going into the 9th.

Or how about NO runs in it going into the 9th.

 

[Simster]

Middle of the ninth. One hit please. PLEASE.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

2-2 end of the 9th

Osuna injured

 

[Simster]

Right, bottom of the 10th. Come on Jays, let's get this done

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Congrats to the Blue Jays who take it 5-2 in the 11th innings with a homer and progress to the ALDS to meet Texas.

Good game to watch as a neutral

 

[Simster]

Yes!!!! Orioles pitcher blows up in the 11th and the Blue Jays win

 

[Badger]

What. A. Game.

Great pitcher change at the end for Orioles

Bring on the Rangers. No love lost there, should be a great series.

Yes, there's going to be emotions flying whatever the outcome.

WTF is the deal with the start times though?

Thursday 4.30pm ET (3.30pm in Texas)
Friday 1pm ET (12pm in Texas)

I don't get it

Then there's this of course

I hate the Rangers more than the Yankees to be honest.

Nothing Toronto fans aren't used to. I'm on holiday from tomorrow, fortunately.

Great how things have played out that we can now start Happ, Sanchez and Estrada for games 1, 2 and 3. With Liriano and maybe even Stroman in the 'pen, I fancy us to beat them again. The pitching has been a delight.

I think I've got things sorted. Half my team (including my boss) are working from home tomorrow, so I'll either do the same or just leave early. Then we're going to the pub for the dev manager's 50th birthday lunch on Friday, and he likes baseball

We do look strong in terms of pitchers, they've all had decent seasons. That was supposed to be our big weakness going into April, it's funny how things change. I still never feel confident we'll get enough runs though. Too many occasions when we have men on 2nd/3rd base and fail to score.

Just watched the the game from last night.... wow!!! Where was Britton he should of came in the 11th men on bases! What a atmosphere as well, some noise again at the Rodgers centre! What was that idiot doing throwing a can at Kim during his catch in the 7th, mental.

Can't wait for the Rangers v Jays series as a neutral, nice little rivalry building there, like to see jays win but also Rangers for Hamels.

Big pitching match up tonight, hoping for a Giants win!

All this wild card nonsense with the little teams.

Let me know when it's the turn of proper baseball.

Big match for the Mets tonight and Syndergaard has grown into just the pitcher we need - he'll face off against veteran Madison Bumgarner.

He went 2.1 with a 3.32 ERA in last year's playoffs.
