I caught most of the game on Fox, and it was pretty amazing. The crowd barely sat down from like the 6th on. Pitchers getting in trouble and then wiggling off the hook. I think the announcers were right, one of the best post season games ever. Both teams fought valiantly to the bitter end. Just need the Brewers to send home the Cubs.

What a game ! First pitch HR for the Jays  :o, and that was it. I guess adrenaline can carry you a long way when you've got some skill & heart. "Big Dumper" came thru to tie it up, and the rest of the way many contributed. Given the status of the pitching staff after Sunday's game their performance tonight was pretty amazing imo. Fox carried the game tonight, didn't watch it all but was in & out often. We'll get tomorrow's game, and game 7 if necessary on network. The rest are on Fox Sports here, so will have to live on the highlights. Keep on Truckin' Mariners   :D   :thumb:  Final 3-1

Yeah, certain teams have the Jays number and Seattle is one of them don't know why that is. :scratch:
It is not looking good at this point 7-3.

The Dodger's Snell pitched 8 shutout innings with one hit, 10 strikeouts, and only one walk. Hopefully the Brewers will rough up Yamamoto today to even the series.

I had to look it up. It was the Angels and the Giants in 2002 for the last west coast WS with the Angles prevailing.

You had to remind me, didn’t you. :cry: As I remember it, the Giants were up by a comfortable margin in game 6, a couple of innings short of bringing home the first title since moving west.  They got too comfortable and completely fell apart.  They actually lost game 7 sometime in the 7th or 8th of game 6.  Come to think of it, that may have been about the time I quit watching MLB…

Not a big surprise here for a couple of reasons. Obviously 'home court' means little to nothing in this series. Toronto was already the best league opponent at T-Mobile park record-wise. But mainly when/if a team makes it to this point it is not by accident, it takes a lot of work and talent. A game or two here & there where things don't go as planned is to be expected. So it's now a 3 game series, am still pulling for the Mariners, and if they manage to pull it off this afternoon I won't be surprised to see a 7th game. Kudos to the Jays for two fine showings, but don't count the M's out yet.

Game 6 is in the Bag!! :singing:

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a windy day
The Jays will be safe and warm

Still pulling for the M’s, but I think Toronto would make for a better series.

Game 7 is in the Bag, Blue Jays win the American League Pennant!!  :thankyou: :thankyou: :hyper: :hyper: :wine: :singing:

The Blue Jays paid their dues
Time after time
They've done their sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
the Jays made a few
they've had their share of sand kicked in their face
But they've come through
the Blue Jays are the champions of the ALCS, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting into the World Series
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Of the American League
We've taken our bows
And our curtain calls
You brought the Blue Jays fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
We thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
We consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And we ain't gonna lose
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end of the World Series
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Of the ALCS
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end, oh
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Queen- We Are the Champions

I’d encourage Toronto fans to borrow from Giants fans with 39,150 voices chanting BEAT LA, BEAT LA, BEAT LA!

Jays down one with the bottom of the second coming up. Tied 2-2 with the top of the sixth coming up.
