AL East

The Toronto Blue Jays will try to push the ALCS to a Game 7 when they are away to the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. Toronto pitcher David Price will be looking to silence critics and doubters not long after the scheduled 8:07 p.m. ET start time. 

Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell has been away from the team since Aug. 14 after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but terrific news trickled in Thursday when the organization announced his cancer is in remission.     

The numbers mean nothing, and yet they mean everything.

Nobody who knows anything would say that David Price can't pitch in the postseason, but by now just about everybody knows Price hasn't won in the postseason—not once, at least not as a starter.

Marco Estrada had been put in this situation before. Just a little more than a week ago, in fact. 

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has suffered a right elbow injury.

Tattoos can be expensive. But your favorite team's logo shaved into your chest hair? Priceless.

That's how one fan demonstrated his dedication to the Toronto Blue Jays—just etched into his chest hair, for everyone to see.

The gods that oversee the game of baseball, they were livid.

And they had every right to be. There's no way they ever envisioned a do-or-die elimination playoff game's being decided this way.
