Blue Jays beat Orioles 5-1 in AL wild-card showdown

As usual, the AL East is coming down to the wire. Very nerve-wracking for this Toronto fan. More than the Orioles, the Jays deserve a playoff spot. Like last year, they're a great team. Bautista, Encarnacion, Tulo, Martin, Pillar, Sanchez, Osuna. Third-baseman Josh Donaldson deserves a gold glove and an MVP award, while Happ deserves a Cy Young.

And I never thought I'd say this, but hats off to the Red Sox. A very impressive September so far. But still, I'm cheering for the Yankees over the next few days...

Still lamenting the loss of Munenori Kawasaki to the Cubs, but he did all right in that trade. He'll definitely see some playoff action this year.
