America's pastime: Hope springs eternal . . . (aka the baseball thread)

What an inning!

Rangers just gave that one away. And those fans were scary!

I missed the inning, but congrats, Toronto! Hope we see you in the WS. :slight_smile:

Am so happy to see my guy RA Dickey moving on.

That 7th inning was wild. And yes, the fans were crazy.

Osuna must have nerves of steel.

And the Royals move on to the ALCS vs. the Bluejays. Let’s go Royals!

Cueto was great tonight! So happy to see the Royals win!

I’m in NY and was in a theatre so didn’t see, or hear about, the game until after it was over. Sounds like a wild one and I’m happy to hear that Osuna did, yet again, what he’s done all year for the Jays. This 20 year old does, indeed, have nerves of steel. He’s amazing. And bravo to Jose!

The best thing about baseball is that, no matter how long you’ve been a fan, you’ll see something you’ve never seen before. That Toronto-Texas game was one of the craziest I’ve ever seen.

Explain to me again how instant replay will speed up the game??? :slight_smile:

I think it is more important that they get the call right than the game move quicker.

meanwhile, in LA:

C’mon LA. Stop beating up opposing fans. Makes the Toronto fans throwing garbage look angelic.

Rooting for the Mets right now, 3-2 Mets in the top of the 8th. And after reading the article above I hope for a peaceful non-violent exit for all from the stadium!

Cubs versus Mets on Saturday!! You have to imagine the MLB and TBS are really happy!

@garland I thought you might enjoy this article and videos of R.A. and his teammates celebrating with Jays’ fans after the win on Wednesday.

Congrats to your Mets!!

Thanks, @alwaysamom --Maybe we’ll see you guys soon!

Well, the fat lady didn’t sing today in Toronto. After yesterday’s debacle, the Jays beat the Royals 7-1 and Marco Estrada pitched the game of his life, saving his team from elimination for the second time in this post-season. On to Kansas City!
