I wouldn't mind seeing the cubs go deep into the WS playoffs as they're a club that hasn't tasted success for eons.

But, getting back to the Jays, I'm becoming convinced now that the deck is stacked against us. When I was on twitter the other night watching us lose G2, I was struck by the number of Canadians who were saying that the umps were favoring the Rangers because they are an American team. "Nah," thought I. But, fact is that guy was out at 3rd base, replays showed this and they did see the replays. The jays were being called on strikes that were way out of the strike zone. Even the American commentators said this.

Now, Don Cherry (who admittedly is a hockey sportscaster and a bit of a nutcase) has said that the Jays are being "stiffed" by MLB because they are a Canadian team.

When the Jays last played in WS games, TV ratings went way down because US viewers aren't interested in watching Canadian teams play. And like my late father in law used to say about everything: "It's all about money."

The Jays have the talent to come back, but the odds are slim. Nothing against the Rangers. They've played good baseball. But, it's like when the Owls get a ref who's giving all the calls to the opposition. We have to get our bats working tonight, our big hitters have to come through, if we are to beat the Rangers plus the officials.

5-0 bottom of 6th. Come on Jays

Won 5-1. Great pitching by Estrada.

Nice win, and Price didn't have to pitch either, so all round a good game for the Blue Jays.

Congrats to the Blue jays for yesterdays win and with Price going today a good chance to level series and take it back to Toronto for a game 5 decider.

My lot need to start hitting again, particularly Fielder & Hamilton.

Won 5-1. Great pitching by Estrada.

Not THE Estrada from CHiPs

I believe Dickey is on that mound tonight. He's a knuckleballer. He'll either be unbeatable or be hit out of the park. So Rangers do have a good chance against him. Price will be on hand in case he gets into a jam. Umps much better last night.

Maddix you're not old enough to remember that guy. Are you?

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone.

It's not that old PEI   early 80's I think   so I'm told   but I was more into this

Looks like a game 5 decider already and we are only in the 3rd inning!!!!!!
