Toronto advanced to the ALCS with a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers in the ALDS.
The first time the Toronto Blue Jays partied this month, right after clinching a wild-card berth on the final day of the regular season in Boston, manager John Gibbons stood before his players and shouted, “watch out for this team,” as the corks started flying.
Well, they’ve popped bottles twice more since then, vanquishing the Baltimore Oriolesin the wild-card before knocking off the Texas Rangers in a stunning three-game sweep in the American League Division Series, capped by Sunday night’s wild 7-6 win in 10 innings.
