That's the plan, yes. The two wild card teams would have a single game playoff, apparently.
Arn said:
Probably not, no. Same chance as always, maybe even less - there's talk about increasing interleague play as part of the realignment, which is an area in which the Jays have always struggled.

Surely a 3 game series would be more exciting? And probably more lucrative.
The Jays were ten games out of the first wild card spot this year, 9 games back on Boston and 4th place overall for the wild card in the AL. If they could win 5 more games they could be pretty close.
I do take your point on inter-league play, however.

By all accounts the Astros were forced into the AL West as it was a condition upon the sale of the team. I wonder why it was the Astros who were made to move leagues whereas Milwaukee may have been the better choice having been part of the AL before. Granted, a Houston/Texas rivalry will be born, nor am I certain there would be another natural fit for the division without having to re-jig the remaining divisions.
And while I'm excited to see an additional wild card team added, I don't know how I feel about a 1-game playoff. A 2-out-of-3 series would make more sense -- the second wild card winner deserves at last one game at home.

Oops! Probably not a good idea to include the new logo in an announcement beginning at noon re. the new logo main page 
but hey, that aside, if this is it (and I suspect it is) that's just damn sharp new logo.

I don't know about robbed but I think Halladay was the more deserving pitcher. Kershaw lead the NL in wins, ERA, strikeouts, WHIP. He also had a 4.59 K:BB ratio, gave up fewer than 7 hits/9 innings, pitched 233 innings, and had a WAR of 7.0. There are really only minor differences in their numbers. Roy was .05 below in ERA, gave up more hits, but had more complete games, had the best ERA+ in the NL, had the best K:BB ratio at 6.63!, and had the best WAR at 7.4.
I think both were deserving there. What probably surprised me is that Kershaw won against a veteran pitcher, and usually when the numbers are close like that, the advantage goes to the guy who has been more consistent. What that leads me to believe is that Roy got hurt for not winning 20 games.

Pretty close to perfection, IMO. ;D Nice to have some good news today.

All the new uniforms look fantastic but Dear Santa, please bring me a "blue" alternate jersey w/cap. OMG is that ever sharp. "The blue is back in Blue Jays!"

It's just a BP cap... I like that they're just going with one cap this year... Same nice blue cap for the road and away.

So happy with the uniforms and logo, I had to upload it as my avatar.
