OT - I'm bored, Part Pangos & Bell!

I'd gladly bring a cutout of Bartman.

Hell Cubs fans were trying to pay to get Bartman to go to the game! It's like they're basking in how much they want to flaunt their newfound success in the face of all the crazy shit that's happened to the club.

I mean, one part of me gets it...because what better way to disspell years of stupid curses and excuses. Then there's the fan part of me that says "please...please bring Bartman and a goat to the game."

Keeeeeeeeeep talking

Funny, I didn't think the town was very into this wild card game...mixture of bitterness, worry, and let's face it 2013 won't be beat. Jake is bringing out anger. The place wouldn't have been quiet by any means, but it would've been tentative. No way in hell it is now. Nothing wrong with confidence, but geez man...why poke the bear or make it any harder on yourself? Don't pretend this isn't a mental game. It is.

I think there is a chapter in the unwritten rules of baseball that discusses why the player doesn't interact with the fans on a level any higher than signing autographs and smiling for pictures.

All they need is something to bring it all together, BBB.

SI curse?

SI curse?

Doesn't that just apply to when they predict they'll win? I don't think they're doing that here.

Cleveland learned that the hard way this season, though...

Might wanna unfollow Corrado - might sting a bit when he's tweeting photos of the Jays' WS parade wearing a Leafs jersey.

I should take your word for it - if anybody knows about jinxes this season it would be an M's fan.

Those two have followed sort of similar paths this year. Should be a solid series. Texas is my back up team because I love Bannister. Miss that guy.

I was pissed when I realized the Jays were gonna rest regulars and give up the top seed because I really, really wanted to avoid Texas. Their bats are almost as lethal as the Jays'.

My saving grace is that they're going to roll 3 lefties, which I would probably advise against given how much fun the Jays have had against lefties but

I don't think their rotation is anything ridiculous outside of Hamels. Then again I don't think the Jays is anything ridiculous outside of Price. Both have guys capable of taking over a game, but not really likely. Both offenses can put up 10 runs and not blink an eye. And both teams are the hottest in the AL. Jays would've rolled up the Yanks/Astros, one of which has been mediocre in the second half, and the other of which lost their way into the second wild card. So yeah, they honestly should've fought a bit more for that top seed.

I'm picking the Yanks tonight because the Astros always find a way to lose in the post-season.

I think the Jays could've swept either the Stros or Yanks. I think with Texas, we're going to see at least one game for each team with a 10-2'ish scoreline.

Here's betting it happens to the Jays in game 3 with Dickey on the mound in Arlington.
