The Kansas City Royals have established a Dani... FellsJerseyreputation for dramatic postseason comebacks the past couple of years, beginning with last season's wild-card victory over Oakland.
Turns out, the Toronto Blue Jays have some never-say-quit spirit as well.
After going on a second-half run to make the playoffs, then rallying from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Texas in a best-of-five matchup, the Blue Jays will try to beat the Royals in another win-or-else situation in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series on Friday night.
Toronto forced the series back to Kansas City with a 7-1 Kevin Huber Jerseyoppose him for Kansas City. He was only marginally better, allowing three runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings before watching the comeback win from the dugout.
''I'm very fortunate and happy that this game has landed on my turn, here in Kansas City, and with the opportunity to take this club to the World Series,'' Ventura said through catching coach Pedro Grifol, acting as a translator. ''I'll be ready for this game.''
The Blue Jays promise they will be, too.
Toronto lost the first two games against the Rangers at home, then won three straight with its season hanging in the balance. The first two were at Texas, and the last at Rogers Centre, but none of the victories was even close - all by at least three runs.
The Blue Jays lost the first two games in Kansas City, too. But in Game 3 in Toronto, the hosts [url=http://www.nflbengalsofficial.com/Authentic-Kevin-Zeitler-Jersey]http://www... a 1-0 deficit and rolled to an 11-8 victory.
''We've been through a bunch of hurdles all year,'' Blue Jays outfielder Chris Colabello said. ''We were 7 1/2 games (back) at the deadlines. ... We had to claw back from that. We were down two games back in the division series and we clawed back from that. I'll tell you what, we're going to leave everything we have out there.''
They may have to do just that. While the Blue Jays have won four straight elimination games, the Royals are 6-2 in their last eight postseason games at Kauffman Stadium.
Make no mistake, either: The ballpark matters in this series.
While the homer-happy Blue Jays were built with the small dimensions of Rogers Centre in mind, the speedy, defensive-minded Royals were built for their home park.
