“That was insane”, Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman said.

Toronto police say a man has been charged with mischief after a baby was hit by the spray of a thrown beer can at Wednesday’s Blue Jays game.
The opening game is Friday night at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
Choo’s homer was the first for the Rangers since Odor connected off David Price in the seventh inning of Game 1.
The Blue Jays rookie closer has continued his impressive first season into the playoffs. “We didn’t scratch much off him”.
“I’m not a mind reader”.
“I was mixing up two rules”, Scott told a pool reporter.
“I’m not pissed off”, he said. “We’re going to formulate a really good game plan and try to go out and execute”.
For baseball to keep moving forward, it needs Jose Bautista and Yasiel Puig and the bat flips and excitement they bring to the game; it needs players like that, who show the emotions that are associated with being a baseball player; emotions that anyone who has ever played the game at any level can relate to.
In five years, no one will remember Sam Dyson’s name, but everyone will remember Jose Bautista and that home run he hit in the bottom of the seventh off a few Rangers reliever to send the Blue Jays to the ALCS.
Bautista’s reaction wasn’t taken well by the Rangers, who essentially called it bush league, and the entire affair touched off a wide-spread debate about decorum. “In our particular sport, if it’s happening for your team, your guy gets a big hit, nobody minds it. If you’re on the other side, nobody likes it”.
Now the ALCS matchup many awaited will happen. It’s also the history the two franchises share.
AFTERMATH – Despite losing Cox to the Atlanta Braves the next season, the Jays went on to be a consistent power in the AL East. They won the division five times between 1985 and 1993, losing in the ALCS in 1989 and 1991 before winning back-to-back World Series in 1992 and ’93.
Both teams saw improbable moments in their ALDS series.
As did Team Canada athletes, including sprinter and Torontonian Andre DeGrasse.
Just days ago, the Lone Star State stood to become the exclusive home of the American League Championship Series.
That was a big reason why they were able to down the Astros in their divisional series.
“There’s a lot of tension”, he said. “We’re built a little bit differently”. “I gave us the lead in a crucial moment so I was happy to do that”.
When the teams squared off at Rogers Centre from July 30-Aug.
For a time, it seemed like the Blue Jays year was set to end thanks to non-sense, not common sense. They’ll be back, and soon, but in the meantime, the Jays and Royals toppling of Texas’ teams have left the AL with a tantalizing match-up between its best.
The federal Conservatives said Thursday they weren’t anxious that Jays fans would stay away from the polls on Monday. “We’re going to play our game”.

“I’m sure many Canadians will be watching the baseball game after they’ve had an opportunity to go to the polls”, said Kory Teneycke.
