Great pitching by Lackey tonight. Go Cards! I do, however, hope to never see that home plate ump ever again, not even at the store.

After all the drama and letting Borasssss be his mouthpiece to the press, Matt Harvey better bring his (expletive deleted) sauce Monday night. I have a real bad feeling about him getting in his own head right now, and I am really hoping he proves me wrong.
Well my Jays pulled another one out of their butts and forced game 5 back in Toronto. I think Texas is going to have a challenge getting to Stroman on Wed.
It is good to see my favorite team do well, but as a lifelong baseball fan, it is great to see so many great series developing almost across the board.
Going to be a great playoff season in general methinks!

Been travelling in Florida and only caught the Jays on Internet radio. Really looking forward to Wednesday's rubber match with Texas. Met a nice fella from Denver here who wanted Tulowitzki back. Told him that wasn't on, but reminded him that Canada did give them Larry Walker for a good long time.
If the Cubs win today, my commute home is going to be pretty tough (I live near Wrigley). This city is pretty jacked about the prospect of the Cubbies going to the NLCS for the first time in 12 years (never mind possibly going beyond that for the first time in forever). Of course, winning today will be no easy task.
Yeah, the Cubs are in a good position, but the Cardinals just don't go away.
Interesting. Seems to me that the cubs getting to the world series would be a huge story and draw.
I agree. It's been 70 years since the Cubs even PLAYED in the World Series. And Chicago's the 3rd-biggest TV market in the US.
Yup, that's true, although they had a go for the pennant back in 2003. Alas, although Toronto's a huge market in Canada (actually all of Canada other than pockets of loyalty to the Mariners, Tigers, and Bosox), it doesn't have a lot of fiscal clout for the US networks.
I should have noted in my comment above that the Cubs getting to the World Series would be such a draw that the opposing team would be somewhat irrelevant. Cubs/Yankees would be epic, but other than that I don't think the opponent will have much effect on the ratings. Also I'm hoping that the Cards win, but will be rooting for the Cubs all the way if they get by St. Louis.
Yay! We're somewhat irrelevant! We used to be totally irrelevant. A few good trades and look at us now!

HAH! As Homer put it, "It's funny 'cuz it's true!"
The offensive tear they went on after those trades was historic. I really hope the Cards and Jays face off in the WS.
To MLB, Toronto would be generally be in the Milwaukee, KC, Cincy range for TV even though we are as big population-wise (now bigger?) as Chicago. Adding Tulo, Price and a crazy 2 month run will definately help with ratings if they can come back tomorrow and win the ALDS.
The league would be praying to every god they could think of if they ever get the Dodgers/Yankees or any two of the Mets, Angels or Cubs or White Sox in the World Series together.
All I know is that I will be in a bar by the Rogers Centre having lunch by 1:30 tomorrow and then at the game with my lucky Donaldson jersey on!
Should be a great game regardless of the outcome. Obviously I want a 16-0 Jays lead after one inning (can't stand the stress), but Texas is looking tough.
Cubs, LA and the Mets are all looking good. Going to be a tough World Series for any AL team IMO regardless of having home field.
Lucky dog! I was at both World Series' home games in 92 and 93 since my brother was writing software for the Jays. Right behind third base. Magic! Missed the Joe Carter walkoff homer doing a reunion gig I couldn't avoid.
