TORONTO DOES IT AGAIN !

Game 1... Gray vs Cole...Cole is normally very good but I pound him as if he bent over in the shower on his first day in the Sunday School shower hitting 8 dongs (three from Chisholmand teo from Soto-- I didn't miss) on my way to a 13-6 victory but I lose Devers for the next game. I was worried because I injured 5 guys against Paul but skated through... I don't need more of that crap.

Game 2 ... Alcantara vs Gallen... Darby starts off he game again with a 1st inning run and while I grab the lead back in the 2nd he starts to go to town reminding me of all the homerun hitters he has as he gets 3 from Acuna and eventually pounds out a 8-2 win and evens the series.

Game 3 is in Toronto.. Kershaw vs Gilbert ... Darby smacks a 3 run shot in the 2nd and while he beans Devers again I manage to get one back but that is all as Detroit goes up 2-1 in games.

Game 4 ... Cole is up again on short rest... against Aviedo ( kills his RH team)... Another game by Cole and another pounding he takes and is tired in the 2nd as I lead 8-1.... but it is early and Darby fights back almost taking it before falling to the Jays 8-6... Series tied at 4.

Game 5.. Still in Toronto as another short rest starter Gallen gets the call... against Gray... This is a pitcher's duel that is tied til the 7th when Darby starts walking everyone eventually walking in two runs to take a 3-1 lead.. I make it close at 3-2 but he gets an insurance Seager homerun that I almost put on base.. That's twice now he's done that. I try to fight back in the 9th but only succeed in injuring my catcher Rutschman for game 6.

Game 6.. I need to win the next two... and throw out Alcantara vs Valdez. I would normally bat my catcher cleanup against a leftie but he's out so the boys have to step up and they do grabbing a quick 3-0 lead in the first only for Darby prick to get another 2 run shot to get close.... I do it again scoring 3 in the 4th but he counters with one late and I somehow hang onto a 6-3 win and even the series.

Game 7... Gillbert vs Cole... again... Cole... This guy has no luck.. I score two on a rested Rutschman or Soto...  homer but that is all for a long time... stress is everywhere and he hits a solo shot in the 7th to get within 1. I get another Chisholm insurance shot in the 8th and somehow hang onto a 3-1 victory and the series in 7.

Darby hit nothing in the last two games always missing by one...

Crazy finish to an unexpected playoff run for the Blue Jays...
