ST: Blue Jays @ Tigers - June 3-5

[Mehar]

What a difference a year makes. I never thought this team would be in the position they are right now. The fanbase deserves it after years of mediocrity, and especially the disappointing 2013 year. Hopefully this rides keeps on going for the home series which i am planning on to attend.

P.S. Guys i did not catch the game, but how did Happ look overall? I have been this guy's harshest critic because of his inconsistency. This guy does not have to be Greg Maddux, but just be half-decent as a 4th/5th starter, and give this team a decent 5-6 innings each start.

He pounded the strike zone with his fastball, had pretty solid command, I actually think his stat line was a bit unlucky. His infield defense was lacking a bit today. I'd be thrilled if he pitched like he did today every time.

Thanks for this, and good to hear about his command. If this guy just gives this team a decent 6 innings every start, i would be thrilled with that as well.

I can't believe this team is only a half game back of the AL lead, the A's are a damn good team (that run differential!). The tear the Jays have been on is unreal. They have to even out at some point, but they're in a great position now. Even if they were to play .500 ball for 6 weeks they're far enough above the median that they can still hang in there.

Missed the game - at work

this team is unreal right now. We've swept the A's and now the Tigers. Exciting time to be a fan right now, its been far too long

On to the next one

As Wilner said the on the post game, the Jays have now swept four of the last five series. Each sweep was against a team that made the playoffs last year. This team certainly looks legit right now.

Edit: Also, quality relief from Jenkins there. He may have fatigued a bit there towards the end with pitching last night and today, but against that offense he did very well.

I checked my phone while on the streetcar, saw the final score and was doing this in my mind

Possible? Last spring.

Probable? Now.

at what point can we see this as a real playoff possible team?

Uh, now? The Jays are clear favorites for the division, our chances of making the world series are higher than our chances of missing the playoffs

Statement series, do or die type of implications. You falter here in a 3 game scenario there is no longer a light to guide you through that dark tunnel you call a soul. We must succeed, the alternative is unimaginable.

Whoa whoa whoa. This is my schtick. You're playing the suddenly overly optimistic poster. Get it straight, you're ruining everything!

Don't question my methods ever again bro

Me questioning your methods is our schtick! Stop ruining everything again!

I was at the game, such a great experience. First time at comerica park, and man what a ballpark! This stadium makes the rogers centre look like complete ****! If we had a decent ballpark like comerica I would assume more fans would come to our park. Anyways, watching detroit take a 2-0 lead early and then the jays getting 3 runs right after was awesome to watch. Everyone on this team is contributing, and they are such a fun team to watch, the two home runs back-to-back was crazy and melkman ending it in the top of the 9th sure put the icing on the cake when all the fans got up and started leaving. Great Game, and oh yeah, i also got a max scherzer bobble head. Great day to be a blue jays fan!

Lets go blue jays!

The jays should stop shuttling Lawrie between 2nd and 3rd.

Yeah... That's been working terribly so far, the team is really struggling...


Wait, what?

Today is exactly why. He should stay at 2nd.
Platoon tolleson with Francisco if necessary.
