I donāt even know how to describe what Iām feeling right now. I’m excited, exhausted, and hanging on by a thread.Ā
The Blue Jays are going to the World Series, baby!!!!
Ever since near the end of the regular season, I swear my heartās been pounding out of my chest. But no matter what, I keep coming back for moreānight after night.
These past few weeks have been insane. Iāve been on the edge of my seat, yelling at the TV, looking away during every opposing at-bat, and holding my breath at every pitch thrown to one of our guys, praying thisĀ next one might change the game. And last night, it did just that and more.Ā
I know Iām not alone. Millions of fans across the country are feeling just as shaky, hyped up, anxious, exhausted, and borderline delirious as I am.
And itās not just excitementāitās a full-body, emotionally draining, high-stakes rollercoaster.
The truth is, my anxiety doesnāt need any help. Iām already out here hanging on by a thread most days. But this? This has been next level. My chest tightens, my stomachās in knots, and my heart races well after the final out, leaving me unable to sleep.
But I love it. I really do. Iāve been a loyal fan since long before they last won the World Series. I love this team. I love their fight. I love that theyāve made us believe again, especially after finishing dead last just a year ago. I love that this kind of stress means “we”Ā made it, that weāre hereĀ after 32 years, and that we finally have something this big to hope for again.
The tears of joy, the elation, the sheer adrenaline? It’s worth it.
And I know Iāll keep doing it until this thing is over (in four games, š), because this is what being a fan means: loving something so much it literally hurts.
So yeah, Iām tired. Iām wired. Iām anxious as hell. My eyes were burning all day from exhaustion, but Iāve never been prouder to be a Blue Jay’s fan. It’s such a feeling of community. And at least weāve got a few daysā reprieve until the World Series kicks off Friday night.

Letās have some more Springer Dingers. Letās have some more Joe Carter moments. Letās finish this and bring it home, boys.
