NEW YORK — Start spreading the news, the Toronto Blue Jays are going to the ALCS.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Blue Jays have eliminated the Yankees in four games with Wednesday\u2019s 5-2 win<\/a> at Yankee Stadium, finally knocking off the powerhouse that\u2019s felt like their big brother in the American League East for nearly a decade.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Why not the Blue Jays? Why not this year? It\u2019s the dream season no one wants to wake up from.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Yankees have fallen, and now, the Blue Jays fly back to Canada to kick their feet up for a day, waiting on either the Tigers or Mariners to punch their own ticket to the ALCS in their Game 5 on Friday. It\u2019s the Blue Jays\u2019 first trip to the Championship Series since those incredible runs of 2015 and \u201816. Those teams were overflowing with talent and attitude, just as capable of winning a ballgame as a brawl, but this \u201825 team has captured the country in the best way, which is by surprise.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Why else watch 162 games of baseball — a good 500 hours of your summer — if it weren\u2019t for the game\u2019s ability to surprise you?\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This Blue Jays team won 74 games a year ago and came into camp preaching \u201cinternal improvements,\u201d two words which have never been printed across the back of a jersey. In the early days of Spring Training, the dark cloud of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.\u2019s contract situation hung over camp, taking the shine off of just about everything. No matter where you looked, every external projection painted the Blue Jays as a .500 team, maybe even a boring one. Those projections had every reason to.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Blue Jays are the No. 1 seed in the American League, waiting to host Game 1 of the ALCS while Vladdy and his $500 million contract just had a series we\u2019ll be talking about for the rest of his career.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
