Great game, in spite of that jagaloon Blue Jays fan throwing the can of beer on the field.  Don't want to jinx it, but I'm rooting for the non-Canadian team.

Don't make me root for the Jays. :mad:

That's it.

Go Blue Jays Go!

(going down to bottom of 11.  These wild card games are intense.  Reminds me a little of the 2014 Wild Card with the Royals-As (albeit without the wild 8th and 9th inning comeback)

Man so much for two teams who love to smash the home run. This is nerve wracking as hell. I hate it when the Orioles are in extra innings on the road :(

I had a bad feeling about Jiminez there. Fuck.

Oh well. RIP 2016 Orioles you had a good run.

I was just trying to avoid saying Orioles to keep from jinxing them.  Didn't work :(

But anyway, there's nothing like MLB playoffs.  Such an electric atmosphere-- the crowd hangs on every pitch.  Forgot what it was like not to have the Cardinals in the playoffs.  Kind of relaxing in a way.

I had plenty of not going to playoffs between Armando Benitez blowing that lead to Cleveland and 2012.

Baltimore really needed that game to be at home though. That damn sweep by Boston.

As I've well established, I feel like a newbie in postseason baseball, not really having paid attention until the last two years.  Yes, there's nothing like the atmosphere - everything can change in a single pitch.  Pretty cool to watch.

I was surprised he was not brought in in the 10th and they just rode him until they won.

But hey emptying the bullpen is what being a big league manager is all about.

The thing that fills me with more angst this morning than Zach not getting in there in extra innings is more Bourn's missing the ball on that liner by Pillar. If he makes that play Britton is on for the save in the 9th.
