Today is a great day for Canada and, therefore, the world!
Let's go, Blue Jays
👏🏽👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Last night was a tough watch! On Blair & Barker yesterday, they made it sound like Bo was more than a few games away from his return. I think they might've guessed that Bo would play again on the next home stand (we play 4 more at home, then 6 on the road). The Ms are 0.5 games behind us in the race for the last wild card spot. I hate to say it, but I think we're going to fall out of the wild card spot and then hopefully reclaim it once Bo returns
A hard loss today. I was in attendance for the game they lost to Oakland at home, so that’s the second time this year I’ve watched the Jays lose 5-4 at home after the away team scored the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth off a pitcher named Jordan. At least I got a bobblehead this time!
Honestly, I’m worried about this team making the playoffs, let alone winning a series.
I agree! Get well soon, Bo!
We all miss Bo dearly. Hopefully he comes back and leads us to the promised land.
On SN590, I just heard the ceremony is scheduled to start at 3:00 and first pitch is likely around 3:47
If they take anywhere near as long to tear it down that they took to set it up we won't have first pitch until 4:30 haha.
Great seats! I haven't been to too many ballgames. I've sat behind home plate, along the foul lines, and in CF, but never had that vantage point. I hope you see Whit steal 2nd!
