Damn! I'm getting dizzy switching between the WS, Thunder and Avs games.

A very Blue Jays rally. Bo was not that far off from a HR. Maybe his best swing so far in the series. He scorched it. Gimenez was thiiiis close to being doubled off at 1B too. Phew.
Send the series back to Toronto, and let me get more than 3 hours of uneasy sleep tonight. Is that too much to ask?
Three more outs first…
It’s a best-of-three series now boys! 
Great bounce back win today. If that start was Bieber’s last appearance as a Blue Jay, then he went out on a good note. I’ll be happy if the team can re-sign him this winter.

I couldn't get to sleep after turning off the TV last night. Great team win! Feeling a bit groggy today... but at least I didn't stay up for 18 innings the night before! 
I am very curious to see how things go for the starters tonight. Will Yesavage have a better feel for his pitches and give the team a decent start? Every time he's stumbled, e.g. after promotions in the minors, he's bounced back and gotten better. He is young and seemingly fearless. I think he has it in him. On the other hand, I don't know if he's accustomed to pitching this late into the season, and he's probably thrown more innings this year than last. It's possible he's hit his limit for this year. This could quickly turn into a bullpen game for the Jays if Yesavage just doesn't have it. As for the Dodgers' side of things: Will Snell get deep into the game tonight and be more dominant? Or will the Jays' lineup get to him again? Gotta figure he will make adjustments and perform better compared to Game #1.
The dream scenario is for Toronto to win tonight and go home with two chances to win the whole thing. Jays in 6 (or 7) in the 6!
Easier said than done of course. If Toronto loses tonight then they absolutely have to figure out how to hit Yamamoto or Dodgers win in 6. It's a pivotal Game #5.

Yesavage's second game against the Mariners was excellent. I hope he follows that pattern.

Excellent analysis. Starting pitchers, as always, truly matter. With Yamamoto looming... oy...

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
It's actually nice to see starting pitchers go deeper in the games in the series.
I like it!
First time in 705 WS games that opened in b2b homers. GO JAYS!
I want to see that look on Snell's face again that he had in game one.
