@Gargantua:
I came here today, thinking for sure there would be a weeks old thread about the Blue Jays!
YG I am gravely disappointed!
Epic Win yesterday!
I am A big Jays fan, but after this post season I got completly turned off from baseball, not because of the bad calls or Baltista acting like an ego clown, but because of the whole baseball culture I wasn’t aware of in the past due to the Jays long playoff drought. I’m a hockey guy first and formost, so to see the Bluejays or any team for that matter party that f**king hard because of a division win, or a single playoff series win to me was absolutly stupid. The Jays clinched the division after game 1 of a double header, and instead of playing the next two games with a full squad and ensuring themselves home field advantage through out the playoffs, they decided to get hammered drunk and party their faces off. So what ended up happening was the Royals went on a three game win streak and stole the American League standings which allowed them to strategically dismember the jays on their home field during the second series. So in the end, The jays celebrated with champaign when they clinched a playoff birth, then again when they clinched the American League East Division, and a third time when they won their first playoff series against the Rangers… can someone tell me how they could posibly top all this if they were to accually win the world series. You would never see that kinda crap in ice hockey, because after each series win leading up to the Stanley Cup final, players will tell you with bold conviction that they haven’t won anything yet… but in baseball if you even get in to the playoffs, you can party like you’ve won everything, it just echos some of the problems I have with soccer, and I don’t think I’ll be cheering for any baseball team in the future.
