GameThread Game #161: Blue Jays at House of Horrors

World Series: Philadelphia Phillies v Tampa Bay Rays, Game 1 Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images

Tonight’s game is the last one John Gibbons will officially manage, as Russell Martin has been assigned the task for tomorrow’s game.

We can’t say we haven’t been entertained this year.
