Any Blue Jays fans about?

I know it's a UK site but I know there are Canadians on here.

Any Blue Jays fans want to cheer on the boys with me? None of my friends or family are baseball fans and I need to enjoy the post season with someone!

This thread has been a lot of fun. I grew up in a baseball-obsessed family and just absorbed it like the air we breathed. I have been lucky to have lived in some great baseball cities and so have acquired several team loyalties over the years. DH grew up in western NY near the Canadian border so Toronto has been one of our teams for a long time.

My others are Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies, NY Yankees, and Chicago Cubs.

So may I just add, Let's go, Cubbies!

Bite your tongue Seneca! Jays all the way! It's been 22 years in the making and my boys deserve the win. Grin

22 years is nothing. The Cubbies have been waiting since Aught Eight of the last century

I can see I may have a bit of a conundrum on my hands if things turn out the way the pundits predict.

Oh yeah! ALCS here we come!

Woot!

SenecaFalls · 15/10/2015 03:31

Yea!

We need a little baseball emoticon. This is the closest, I suppose. Tennis

OK, y'all. It's about to start. Jays v Royals for the American League Championship. Let's go, Jays!

ChilledAndPleasant · 17/10/2015 01:09

Am in Toronto and loving the excitement even though I know nothing about baseball. Go Jays go!

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 17/10/2015 01:47

Let's go Blue Jays!!! I am completely obsessed and expect my DH, DS and DD will not see much of me until November. Wink

yikes....

Another Jays fan here....hope they get it together for next game #cometogether

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 17/10/2015 15:02

Not a good first game but there are still six games to go. The Jays can easily turn it around.

Was a bit of a disappointing start, but they were down against Texas at first too. Just ramping up the tension, I'm sure! Tennis

hatters · 17/10/2015 21:19

Sacré bleu!

hatters · 21/10/2015 22:03

It's all a bit tense...I don't think I'm cut out for sport following!

mathanxiety · 22/10/2015 03:16

Parent teacher conferences here tonight, maybe just as well since the local team is not covering itself in glory. But hurrah for the Blue Jays Smile

I'm a huge Orioles fan from the UK. Not kept up with the post season this year, but we were where the Blue Jays were last year. Beaten by The Royals in the ALDS.

I have a soft spot for the Blue Jays as they are under dogs in the AL East just like the Orioles. And I saw my first ever game in Toronto, against the Orioles back in 2001.

I am also followed by Jose Bautista on Twitter, but he does follow a lot of people!!
