It sure was the Blow Jays in this game. It's going to be hard to get over. Getting swept at home.

3rd team to ever come back from a 7 run deficit in a playoff game
- 2008 ALCS Game 5 - Red Sox trail Rays 7-0 before coming back to win 8-7
- 1929 World Series Game 4 - Philadelphia Athletics trail Cubs 8-0 before coming back to win 10-8

I think the Mariners have a punchers chance. Like with any sport, division opponents facing each other in the playoffs can be crazy because of the familiarity.
Not an Astros fan, but to the extent this makes YED more likely, then I'd have to be for it.
The lost advantage is there are now fewer teams in the tournament that I think can beat the MFYs.
Go Guardians!
I watched the Red Sox all season, and they were very very bad. Especially watching the Guardians and Rays pitch, I thought, "What was Bloom thinking?"
Thanks for keeping the thread going this year, by the way. I was going to start it but you got there before me. Seeing as how much better you did with it than I did with the Royals, I am glad you did.
Logan Gilbert, Luis Castillo, Robbie Ray and George Kirby, plus the best bullpen in the AL might have something to say about that. And they are much deeper on offense with a healthy Julio than they were a week ago, and are the best defensive team in the AL to boot.
I wouldn't count them out.
Vlad Jr. is an incredible talent, but he got a big taste of humble pie after the walk off against the Yankees and tonight that he hopefully learns from.
Man, I wish the M's were heading to NY. Either way though, I'm pulling hard for the M's and G's against the Astros and MFYs.
In past seasons didnt all teams get a layoff? On balance, I think being able to set up the pitching and get rest has to outweigh rust. Yaneverknow.
Unsure, but the teams with byes will have a six-day layoff, as opposed to two for their opponents (in the AL at least)
They talked shit all year. Whined. Got in bizarre unnecessary fights because their egos were bruised by nothingburgers. And now they got their asses handed to them. It's really wonderful when things like this happen.
Think if Curry played like he did last year against the Raptors how Toronto fans would feel? Generally the Raptor fans are a separate group from the Jays/Leafs fans though.
Sadly for me TSN and other Canadian sports medioa will be 100% Leafs within two days of this.
Both Springer and Bichette diving for the ball when up 5 runs was pretty dumb.

I forgot that, until tonight, no one other than Lou Piniella had gotten them there.
Maybe shoe on head will finally put the rally monkey in the rear view mirror.
Seattle is a big fishing community. Maybe somebody will try fish on head.

Gilbert as well. He only let up 5 ER+ in 3 games this year, and had QS's in all 4 of his games against Houston. I also think the games in Seattle favor Seattle more than the games in Houston favor Houston, if that makes any sense. It would be a serious surprise to me if Houston steamrolls this team. If "IT" is a real thing, these Mariners have a lot of it.
The second time would be on 3 days rest in game 5, almost no one is good on 3 days rest.
