Your yearly update, Tom Cheek

I’ve been wondering for a while how you would have described it. What you would have said?

It’s been 148 days between Game 5 of the American League Division Series and Thursday’s visit to Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park (est. 1853). An exuberant crowd filled the Rogers Centre. Edwin Encarnacion homered off Cole Hamels to tie the score in the sixth.

Then it got wacky in the seventh: Russell Martin’s toss back to the mound hit Shin-Soo Choo’s hand and Rougned Odor scored, fans tossed beer cans, then three consecutive Texas fielding errors came ahead of misplayed pop-up to score a run, while a runner was being forced at second.
