There's no way the BlueJays can lose this series, is there?   Toronto Mike and I go over the pluses and minuses on this year's squad, and how they'll fare in the best of 3 Wild Card series against Seattle.   I doubt the Mariners will score more than 2 runs against Alek Manoah, who is the best pitcher in baseball right now.   Also, Sportsnet gets their own feed, which means we don't have to watch the U.S. announcers babble on about poutine and ice fishing.  Unfortunately, Dan Shulman won' be doing the Sportsnet games as he is committed to ESPN radio.  Speaking of which, legendary Jays radio announcer Jerry Howarth is a finalist for the Ford Frick award for broadcasting excellence.  He spent 37 years in the booth, and I've got a good story to tell about his early days in Toronto.  We also get into hockey, and specifically the sad story of Hockey Canada, and how it needs to be blown up real good after all it's major sponsors took a hike in light of recent revelations.   Enjoy!
