Venue:

Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri (Why isn't Kansas City in Kansas btw?)

AL East Standings

AL Wild Card Standings

Probable Pitchers:

Friday, 8 p.m: Francisco Liriano (6-11, 5.46) vs. Dillon Gee (3-5, 4.66)

Saturday, 7 p.m: Aaron Sanchez (11-1, 2.71) vs. Danny Duffy (7-1, 2.98)

Sunday, 2 p.m: Marcus Stroman (8-4, 4.74) vs. Yordano Ventura (6-9, 4.83)

Need to know:

Last year’s World Series champions currently sit second-last in the American League Central division, 11 games back of first-place Cleveland . . . The Jays swept Kansas City last month in Toronto in the teams’ only other meeting this season . . . Friday marks Francisco Liriano’s debut with the Blue Jays after he was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday’s trade deadline . . . Royals designated hitter Kendrys Morales, who leads the team with 17 homers, received a one-game suspension on Thursday for returning to the field after he had been ejected in Wednesday’s game. Morales is appealing the suspension and is eligible to play until his appeal is heard . . . The Royals have six pitchers on the disabled list, including closer Wade Davis.

Let's go Blue Jays!

I assume Jose will be suspended for 2 weeks after Ventura plunks him in game 3. Because reasons.

Man, what the hell happened to Gavin Floyd? That guy just disappeared. I don't even remember what happened to him.

Nothing less than a sweep will suffice. Man, I hate the Royals.

Gotta keep trending up with our runs scored. 1-2-3-4 in Astros series, hoping for 5-6-7 and a sweep of the Royals.

I remember him getting hurt and going on the DL, it was only the other day I noticed that he was on the 60 day DL.

I guess none of us should be surprised, there's a good reason that he was available on the cheap.

Let's poop on it, as well.

I really think (and hope) the Royals lockerroom is fed up of Ventura's antics...I'd feel much better if he were pitching any game other than the last of the season between us.

Top notch game thread, OP. Now let us destroy these "Royals".

Hoping that the bats can do a little better than they did in Houston. Liriano might need all the run support he can get. But I have a feeling he surprises us tonight. Go Jays!

Oh yeah, and F*** the Royals. Still can't believe this crappy team beat us last season thanks to Amish boy and the home plate ump screwing over Revere. Never forget.
