It is a shame the 2015 team did not make the World Series. The last two months of the season was unreal with the way the team played, capped off by Bautista's Home Run against Texas. Unfortunately, the team let a game slip away in Kansas City when David Price was pitching, and by some bad defense behind him that game. They were burned by a bad Umpire in the elimination game in the 9th Inning. If they had gotten a win in Game 6, I was pretty confident we would have beaten Cueto and Kansas City in Game 7, and headed to the World Series. I am convinced the Jays would have beaten the Mets in 5 games, just like Kansas City did that year. That is "Baseball" for you, and it is a real shame we experienced a couple of bad breaks against Kansas City, since that team had the potential to end our World Series drought since 1993.

Mehar wrote:If the Jays lose tonight, it will not be because of the lineup that was announced. I have no problem with the lineup, and like the fact that Merrifield is on the bench tonight with Belt back in at DH; and Davis Schneider at Second Base. Merrifield has been a below average hitter for nearly 5 weeks now and needed to sit tonight with Belt back in the lineup.
