If Jays get behind 2+ again (could happen tonight) this closed and tank thread for 18th pick re-opened. 

If Orioles take wild card lead mods need to start a 'Mike Elias certified genius' thread

If Jays keep within 2 this thread fine to remain open.

Mods need to react to the situation and open/close the appropriate threads. 

Mods really need to lock in down the stretch

Totally agree Olerud.  It wouldn't hurt to be on several bandwagons so you can say you were on the right side of history.  I am getting a dodgers hat just incase.

I honestly won't be getting a Dodgers hat, nor routing for any team other than my beloved Jays.  Every loss results in deepest of deepest depression and reminds me I have had no employment since just before Marcus Stroman's debut.  Every win brings me on cloud 9 and I go upstairs and high five my 85 year old parents and just hope they paid off enough of the house that I can stay here in the basement for the next 30 years. 

The Orioles thing I have clear documentation of my retrospective opinion.  Between 2022 and 2024 I repeatedly declared Mike Elias a certified genius and predicted the Orioles were at the start of a golden age that would last generations.  If they win the World Series this year I will find those predictions and use it to get cred on this board and in society in general.  Don't get me wrong, I don't like the Orioles, it is just business.  If you notice the savy posters like Laika do the same, make many predictions, sometimes contradictory, then go with whatever ones end up being true.

Just saw the catch.  Colton Cowser.  Chosen by Mike Elias 'certified genius' in round 1 pick 5 2021.  While the Blue Jays chose Austin Martin with their 5th pick the year before and then exchanging him for the frustrating and now injured Jose Berrios, Elias used his 185 IQ to pick Cowser knowing he'd get a 5 tool center fielder.

The pick has paid off as Cowser won a game last night leaping high into the night, robbing a homerun, and bringing yelps of joy to Orioles Hangout.   Very hard to believe that there is anything that can stop the Orioles now, coming off of such an inspirational victory.

I bet Orioles hangout doesn't even care if we win tonight.   Their destiny is inevitable and they are fine waiting another few days to take over WC3.

The mods here are bad at their jobs in general though.  There is one good one I think lika.  The other ones shirk their duties and foist them onto us.  Especially brock.  He needs to go.  I just straight up don’t like the guy

I want it now

Fair is fair.   You guys had your fun but now 2.5 back and need our Tank thread for the 18th pick back and this has to be closed. 

Life is short, life is brutal, life is awful and the 2026 Toronto Blue Jays were given expectations the most disappointing team in franchise history,  making an embarassment of the 50th anniversary, losing a generation of fans, having their 500 million man dollar whittle to nothing, hand-cuffing the franchise for the next 14 years, all the while getting the 18th draft pick.

While the Tigers, Twins, Guardians and others will get good draft picks, from 4th to 9th and have nice payroll space and the Orioles and certified genius Mike Elias 13 playoff wins, the Blue Jays will, in addition to losing a generation of fans get the 18th overall pick, choosing the next Chad Jenkins and losing all hope forever.   

Tanking for the 18th pick is the final insult in this awful season, and the thread is a tribute to the misery that is life.  So when this game ends, open it should be.

Fire everyone. 

Release the players. 

Fold the franchise. 

Tear down Rogers Centre.

Raze the city of Toronto.

Devolve to Homo Erectus.

Try again.

The good news is we won’t have to face Cleveland in the wild card round.
