Holy remembering some guys/some months, this is a fantastic read! As a lunatic who went to every home game my memory of those seasons was 2015: I love this team no matter what and 2016: why do they stop serving beer in the 7th *cries* And to me, nothing felt play-off bound until August in either year. They were fun years because the fans wanted them to be fun (not iou's).

Lol. Going through those months was definitely a trip Thanks for the kind words, Captain! And yeah, that 2016 year was so weird for a team that was so good!

This was deep! Some of those names and scenarios - wow. So easily forgotten. Each season is a bit like a soap opera and this one is no different, with twists and turns and dramas. I was also wondering today what might have been if we'd squeaked into the playoffs last year. No-one wanted to play us and that offence may be something we never see at that level again - but you never know!

Bravo. Dealing with some of the world is gonna end negativity in Jays chats, it's unbelievable how narrow minded some fans are. Calling the team pathetic, Chapman and Berrios shot and I keep replying 25 other teams would love to have our record. Yes, it's a shit spell rn, but it doesn't mean this team has no hopes of making the playoffs like some folks post. I do hope all the guys I'm thinking about read this article.

Lol. Yeah, I try not to get on fans for being fans as much as I used to, but I've caught so much of that stuff, too. It kinda sucks to watch people not be able to enjoy themselves or this team.

Lmao. For real?? Have you mentioned this before, or did I maybe just see you with it on at a game once and not know it? For some reason that strikes me as something I've seen or heard about — and like you say, there's no way it would have been anyone else.
