The Blue Jays are getting a lot of attention in the sports news – and for damn good reasons, it should be mentioned. The club qualified for the World Series last night by beating the Seattle Mariners in an ultimate game… even though Vladimir Guerrero Jr. arrived at the stadium with an Auston Matthews jersey on his back.

We know the reputation of Matthews and #7 games, after all…

It's been a party in Toronto since last night, and everyone's happy with the way things turned out. That said, the Jays' X account is as active as ever after yesterday's win, and there's a post that's pretty funny, because the club decided to plant… Shane Wright. Here's the background: on October 18, the day before Game 6 of the series between the Blue Jays and Mariners, the Kraken players entered the arena for their game against the Leafs (in Toronto) with a Mariners jersey on their backs, so the Jays decided to taunt Wright – who's from Ontario -… by telling him that wearing the Mariners vest probably hurt.

I love it, when sports clubs get creative like this on X. It may sound cocky for a while – especially among fans of the team or player who's getting screwed – … that said, it's amazing how last night's Jays win is the talk of the town – even in the NHL. Craig Berube and his Leafs take on Sheldon Keefe and the Devils tonight in the Queen City… and both coaches started their press briefings the same way: talking about the Jays.

It's cool, seeing what's going on in Toronto right now.And obviously, the Jays are making the most of it. I wonder if Shane Wright will accept the club's invitation? Hehe.Because that would be fun!

'Overtime'

– Hard not to go with MacKinnon's.

– Two former Habs.
