i'm excited. we waited 22 years to experience this again, and so far, it has been amazing.
of course I want the Jays to win and advance - but if they don't, I'm happy to see that they fielded a successful team.
a lot of good guys on the team that makes it very easier to cheer for the squad - I'm optimistic that even if Price leaves that this team will be a contender for at least 2 more seasons.
p.s. anyone notice that in Price's interviews, he never talks about the team in the same way as the other members do - even a late acquisition like Tulowitzki? He always uses phrases like "I'll do whatever I can for those guys" or "that's what I'm here for", whereas any other player will use the term 'we' (hell, even the fans do this) or 'us'. Suggests that he's obviously committed to winning, and appreciates the fan support for him since he arrived, but doesn't have the same level of loyalty or attachment as, say, a Josh Donaldson, Ben Revere, or Marco Estrada. Makes sense that he's due a massive payday, but I don't get the sense that he's looking to stick around based on his interviews in the past couple of weeks. Just my two overeducated with sub-optimal financial return cents.
