Yeah they added to WS patch to all the hats last night on fanatics. That main 2025 with the baby blue went stupid quick. I bought one of the official WS hats but I think the ALDS hat after they beat the Yanks is better.

I wish there was a law to block or minimize scalping because those opportunist shouldn't be able to rob others that actually want to go to the event.

Knew it was bad news when I hit 31,000. And ended up suddenly on the selection screen. That many people noped out rather quick

I got mine from the MLB shop early this morning.

Eerie symmetry to the games in this ALCS series.

They beat us up in the first two games at home. We beat them up in the next two games on the road.

Then they win 6-2 in game 6. Then we win 6-2 the next game in game 6

They have a dagger through the heart win in game 5 that we led 2-1 through 7 innings.We have a dagger through the heart win last night in a game 7 that they led 3-1 until the bottom of the 7th inning.

In game 1, Springer was the first player on either team to score a run , as he opened the series with a home run. Springer effectively closes the series with a homerun. He was the last hitter to hit a RBI/run.

First two games lost by gausman and Yesavage. Last two games won by Gausman and Yesavage.

I bet there’s more, but that stuff on its own is incredible. Feels like it’s all part of a design. Might just be a team of destiny about to dismantle a juggernaut, the dodgers.

@MikelArteta

Most people in the city of Toronto and in the province of Ontario won’t care about the raps and the leafs until the jays are done



Raps home opener will be the least viewed one since maybe the bargnani primo pasta era. No hype or buzz in the city for either the raps or leafs right now. All eyes will be on the Jays

No one will care to watch This leafs Sabres weekend doubleheader

Jays have to resign Bo. He’s by far the the youngest and the best shortstop on the free agent market this offseason. And good young shortstops like him who can both hit for power/contact, and get on bases often, are the hardest position players to obtain through trades. No team ever trades them.



All of the 2025-2026 free agents, position by position

SHORTSTOPS​

Miguel Rojas (37 years old, 4.5 WAR)
Bo Bichette (28, 4.1)
Trevor Story (33, 3.7) -- can opt out (Red Sox can void via club option)
Ha-Seong Kim (30, 2.9) -- player option
Isiah Kiner-Falefa (31, 2.8)
Jorge Mateo (31, 0.2) -- club option
Orlando Arcia (31, 0.0)
Tim Anderson (33, -1.3)

At least there’s a Silver lining: the Blue Jays front office/Atkins will have serious leverage during contract negotiations during the offseason. This is a good situation for us because we might sign Bo long term but at a cheaper price. His defensive flaws and his injury/ health history will deter other teams from giving him the sun, the galaxy, the moon and the stars.


Can’t wait to see healthy Bo and Santander in action next season. Offensive power!

It's what i said earlier in the year about resigning vlad, if you don't resign them, the yankees or red sox sign them and foor the next 10-15 years they are terrorizing you in the division.
