Kansas City at Toronto, 5:00PM PT, TV: FS1
The home team Jays hope Marcus Stroman can continue his good work in the postseason; he’s made two starts, struck out nine and posted a 3.46 ERA. Since they’re down 2-0 in the series, he’d better. The Royals ask Johnny Cueto to pitch like he did in Game Five of the ALDS (8 innings, 2 hits, 2 runs) rather than the way he did in Game Two (6 innings, 7 hits, 4 runs).

First couple sure, but the Queen and Prince Philip are still the hottest ruling couple on earth. Always good to hear from you though God…
Headline from Weekly World News about the Queen’s visit to NZ many years ago: “Savages Serve Queen Lizzie Roast Rat!”
Who is the Governor General these days, anyway?
David Lloyd Johnston
Sounds like a Welshman.
Canadian born but perhaps in his ancestry.
10-4 Jays, top 6th.
In other Canadian news, Liberals projected to lead government.
Another Rule 5 violation. Go, Trudeau!
I’m just announcing news, not commenting. 😉
Besides, I doubt that Canadian politics excites the majority of readers of this blog enough to cause arguments.
Well, it kept me away from watching or commenting on baseball tonight. So, yeah, hold me back from violating Rule 5…
I will say I am surprised by the fact it will be a majority government, but it is probably helpful to have a functioning parliament rather than a cobbled together one.
In general, when things work it’s better than when they don’t. 😉
Hmm, now that you mention it – I suppose that is true. 🙂
In baseball related news. In 1993 Canadians went to the polls and voted out a 9 year old Conservative government and replaced it with a Liberal government.
1993 of course, was the last time Toronto won the WS. That won’t stop me from cheering for KC this year however. (I was also cheering for Philadelphia in 1993 – but called the Joe Carter HR off of Mitch Williams.)
At present, we’re learning how bad it can get.
Best post-Dodgers news out of baseball: Toronto is planning to replace its Astroturf with a dirt infield and real grass, http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/mlb/toronto-blue-jays-installing-grass-at-rogers-centre-just-one-of-many-upgrades-planned-for-aging-stadium
Now, if the AL would just do away with the DH, their games would be worth watching again.
Toronto making up for lost time.
I don’t think there were any game 2 comments in the Game 2 Thread. For me, the comments in the Game 2 thread belonged in the thread below:
New Dodgers Notes
Agreed, but corporal punishment is difficult when there’s a minimum of 2500 miles of ocean between me and the transgressors.
Is there a way to pin a Hot Stove League to be the top thread and keep current event threads below the Hot Stove League thread?
Yep. I had to look up how to do it, but it’s now done. The “New Dodgers Notes” post is now pinned at the top.
Not sure what you mean by this. In fact, I have no idea whatsoever.
Go to the “Home” page and you’ll see that the New Dodgers Notes post is at the top despite its date being several days before these game threads. Ordinarily the blog is strictly chronological.
Trippy, I don’t know if my linear thinking can handle non chronological post listings. (joking)
You’ll figure it out. I have faith.
Haha. Thanks.
