Toronto 6, Columbus 3. It could happen again.

Hello there T, F and C fans, how are you feeling? Happy, maybe a bit confused after that whole playoff clinching thing?  Not to worry, MLSE are here to bring you back to reality. Less than 48 hours they gave us before the playoff pricing and 2016 season ticket renewal pricing was dropped.  Depending on where you sit, your increase could be over 40% (what’s that, that’s where my seats are, oh good.) though some areas are...

The South Couch Report: Toronto vs Philadelphia

Alright then. Today might be the day. The glorious culmination of 9 seasons of failure, slightly less failure, slightly less failure again, then a lot more failure, then even more failure with the hint of possible success, then just as much failure again, then slightly less failure and slightly less failure again and now here we are.  The Playoffs.
