If there's any solace in Tuesday night's Game 3 collapse, the Toronto Blue Jays will still have more home games these playoffs.Either they'll be back at Rogers Centre Friday night for a tense winner-take-all Game 5 in the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, or they'll be the higher-ranked team heading into the American League Championship Series starting this weekend.And with the latter very much a real possibility as the Jays are just one game away, the team announced on Wednesday that their ticket sales will start soon.As of Thursday at 10 a.m. EDT, ALCS tickets will be available for purchase through the team's official website.Friday's potential Game 5 is sold out, though tickets are still available via the resale market on both Ticketmaster and third-party sites like SeatGeek and StubHub.

Toronto's beloved Blue Jays may be busy on the road to a potential World Series, but when they're not out raking in wins on the diamond, they can often be found dining at local restaurants.Sports superstars have to eat, too, and the Toronto Blue Jays, on top of being the current object of all of the city's sports-related hopes and dreams, are evidently major fans of the local food scene.While restaurants all over the city are due to get a welcome boost in business as the postseason rages on through October, the players themselves have a selection of favourites where they, personally, like to indulge in a post-win meal when they're on home turf.The Jays could potentially play their next home game on Friday should the New York Yankees recover from their ALDS deficit, so if you want to eat like the team, here's where you should be heading. Or, you could always attempt Real Sports' appalling new No-No Challenge, instead.Vladimir Guerrero Jr.Honorary Tor...
