Jays Win!
The Toronto Blue Jays are off to the World Series versus the LA Dodgers.
Highlight of the night, George Springer's clutch 3-run home run that gave Toronto the lead.

Without a doubt one of the key moments of the game had to be Max Scherzer yelling at Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider with two out in the 5th inning.
Scherzer stayed in, K'ed the batter, & pitched in the 6th.

With the Toronto Blue Jays tying series at two games apiece, looks like the Seattle Mariners are not gonna need their ALCS victory podium that was all set to go!

The Seattle @mariners.com have a between innings event called the salmon run!
If the Blue Jays were to host a similar type of event, which animal would we use?

The @bluejays.com bats woke up as they beat the @mariners.com 13-4 in Game 3.

My photo addiction.
Sore hands and a souvenir!
I love photographing fans trying to catch a foul ball.

What’s your photo addiction?

Not to be lost in the Savage Yesavage, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit the first @BlueJays postseason grand slam in club history!
Which is crazy!
Hopefully the ice bath after the game does cool him down!

I studied astronomy in University,
I'll have to check my old text books.
I think I might have witnessed a Star being born!
@BlueJays rookie Trey Yesavage pitched 5 & 1/3 innings of no hit ball, with 11Ks!

These actions violate the spirit behind ICE’s own 2022 directive, Policy 10093.1, which prohibits “improperly or unnecessarily imping[ing] on the news gathering activities of members of the news media” engaged in lawful newsgathering, and its explicit policy against unreasonable use of force.
