Estrada will go in game #1

 

[Ynnek]

World Series here we come!!!!!!!

 

[Lunatik]

I would have started Ryan Goins, he has a sparkling 0.00 ERA against the Indians.

 

[Lunatik]

That Cubs comeback tonight, wow!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

That Cubs comeback tonight, wow!

I shut it off thinking it was over. Oops.

Tomlin, not Timlin.

 

[Anglesmith]

Fascinating note: of the 5 teams remaining in the post season, the Jays have most recently won the World Series. And that was 23 years ago.

 

[Lunatik]

Tomlin, not Timlin.

In that case be happy I didn't put Mike as his first name

To add to that none of the teams are really highly decorated and even then the Dodgers have as many titles as the other 4 teams combined.

Los Angeles Dodgers: 1955, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1988
Washington Nationals: None
Chicago Cubs: 1907, 1908
Cleveland Indians: 1920, 1948
Toronto Blue Jays: 1992, 1993

 

[Anglesmith]

The Jays starters have been announced: Estrada, Happ, Stroman, Sanchez.

 

[Anglesmith]

Travis is good to go for the ALCS.

In addition, Liriano is symptom free and will hopefully return.

In addition to the addition, the Jays have offered EE a multi-year extension. Before the season, they offered him a 2-year deal. They don't guarantee that they won't be outbid on this deal, but it sounds like a sizeable commitment.

I thought the rumor was they plan to offer an extension as EE won't negotiate during the season. Which to me seems like a bit of a PR move leaking it like that so fans aren't as outraged if he walks

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

If Edwin goes to Boston, I am going as well. He's so good it's ridiculous, he has class, he's modest, pay the guy his money.

And then you're going to hear someone say, "hey let's take my ka down and watch a little haackey" and come right back

Game 5 of the NLDS is heating up. Dodgers scored 4 in the top of the 7th to take a 4-1 lead. In the bottom of the 7th Nationals hit a pinch hit two run homer

 

[Lunatik]

The Dodgers advance! 5-4 win, they brought Kershaw in to get the save.

I was watching some of the game, missed the end because of a headache. Im glad the Dodgers win.

 

[Lunatik]

3 of my 4 favorite teams are in the LCS', things are looking up

 

[Lunatik]

Jays have announced their starters!

Game 1: Estrada (as we knew)
Game 2: Happ
Game 3: Stroman
Game 4: Sanchez

This sets up Stro to potential pitch a 7th game if needed. The Jays have also announced the Travis is returning for the ALCS and we should also hear news on Saturday as to whether or not Francisco is coming back. I for one am looking forward to player introductions on Monday in Toronto, I hope they blow the roof of the joint when they introduce Liriano, cleared or not.
