Default 2015 Blue Jays

Yesterday, August 12th, the Jays took sole possession of the AL East!
Won 10 in a row to get there.
The hitting has been great this year...and has improved since the trade deadline...but oh man, the pitching and defense has been superb!
Haven't felt this good about the Jays since August of 1993. Should be an interesting finish to this season...hoping the Pennant and Series drought is over.

Great to see for sure. They have it all covered with superb defense and offence.

Fans are back too.

My only concern is they have been a streaky team this year although all has been good since the trade.

Now where is my 93 world champions t shirt ........

Yup, it's looking good now and the city/fans are excited. It would be SO exciting and satisfying if the Jays make it to the post-season. I hesitate hoping for a World Series win.......but it's on my mind!!!!

Bodog (gambling site) has us top ranked at 4-1 to win the World Series. K.C. 2nd at 5-1.

lots of bandwaggoners following the team these days, but I'm ok with that. I'm a MASSIVE hard-core baseball fan (and player). Glad to see people following a team that deserves support, as opposed to those pathetic Leafs!

I happened to enjoy watching baseball as of last year with my sons play at a higher level (#27 BA >500 ). The intricacy strategy and effort are not understood by most, until you are more involved. Great game for kids to learn the roller coaster of Sport. Winning is great, losing makes the drive home really $hitty.
Also very challenging to get good footage standing behind a fence...

This is exciting, been a fan for years. Watching the New York Cleveland game right now. Tomorrow night's game should be amazing.

Was 100 level on Tuesday night. Took my 75 and 82 year old parents.They hadn't been downtown in 20 years.They had the time of their life! They also loved the dome opening in the 3rd inning I believe. Good to see Hutchison stepping up also! We have an unreal team. Bit upset we lost a few future stars but they certainly are going for it. Been a big fan for years also,so it's great to see this finally happening.

Life long Yankee hater here. Go Jays, beat them Yankees! Donaldson has established himself as a serious MVP candidate, especially if Trout and Angels fall short...T

Well, we lost, but what a game today. Playoff quality really. Priceless ending, is all I can say.
