The Jays Win Their American League Division Series!

The roars of the crowd could be heard all across the stadium. The Jays had just won Game 5 of their playoff series against the Texas Rangers, at a score of 6-3. The Jays followed up with a grand celebration of booze as the Rangers widowed away, knowing that their season was over.

This win, was not easy though.

Stroman pitched a pretty good game, so did Hamels. They dueled to their mightiest, a few runs slipped through, a homerun by Edwin Encarnacion and some other plays by the Rangers too.

It was all pretty textbook, until, the 7th came.

Rougned Odor of the Texas Rangers was at third, Shin-Soo Choo at bat. In the middle of the at bat, Choo throws his bat out and Russel Martin the catcher who had just received the pitch from Sanchez, tried to throw it back, but unfortunately the ball hit Shin's bat and Odor took the moment from the wild throw to score for the Rangers.

Despite the fact that the run shouldn't of ever counted, the umpiring let it slide.

The fans were angry, and the MLB knew that they might of made a huge mistake, where a rule might of needed a change. The Jays protested.

But, the game wasn't over, and the Jays were not done with this game yet.

Quickly, the Rangers defense folded very quickly because of dropped balls, bad throws, and all of the sudden, the Jays had the bases loaded.

And then, the Jays tied it, with a little pop fly in the outfield, that dropped, just out of the reach of Odor. It was like the baseball gods knew of the play that had happened the half inning before, and were bringing it back for the Jays.

But, still, it wasn't over. Jose Bautista went up to the plate. Runners on 1st and 3rd, tie game with 2 outs, the most decisive play of the game happened.

A hit ball could be heard by Jose's bat. It flew high in the air, the fans rose up from the seats, and the ball... It was out. It was out of the field. It.. it... it was gone!!!

Jose Bautista had just hit a 3 run homerun for the Blue Jays, and the crowd roared, the benches cleared straight after. The memories of 1993 for some of the older Jays fans reappeared in their minds.

It was now 6-3 all of the sudden, and the Jays had a nice comfortable lead. And the relieving for the Jays struggled a bit in the 8th, but Osuna came in and took care of the job.

The ninth then came. Only three outs away from moving on to the next round.

But of course, good ol' Roberto easily mowed down the Rangers batting crew. In fact, they barely even put up a fight and the crowd celebrated, the interviews came flooding in, and most importantly... The Jays had their Booze, and they knew they just came back from losing a 2-0 series to winning it 3-2.

I celebrated and cheered for the team I was following for years, ever since I was around 8. I called a few friends on Skype, and we all knew what had happened.

It's now celebration time Canada, but, we still have ways to go. We must now face either the Royals or Houston.

It has already been so much fun in my 1st year in running /t/bluejays Thank you all for supporting the tribe even if I'm not always consistent with the box score and that I don't always post the Game Threads & Postgame Threads on time.
