Great debut from Macho Man Trey Yesavage last night and the playoff math gets better for us by the day. Everything's coming up Milhouse! #bluejays #baseball

And the baseball gods have decided that it was not meant to be...

If I'd drawn it up differently, Tarik Skubal wouldn't have thrown his worst start of the year when I needed him most, but TBH it's my fault for relying on a full week of health from Ketel Marte, Zach Neto, and Max Muncy.

There's always next year!

This is one of those "too scared to look at the scores in the semi-finals of my #FantasyBaseball league " Sunday nights. Wish me luck and I'll do the same for for you.

Many have tried and failed. He, or she, is not to be trifled with.

My eye balls are completely fried from sitting at the computer all day... Let's go play some #softball tonight! Expected game time temp of 29C.

I've got some really bad news for you about the Cubs ownership.

US sports owners make huge political donations. Which party does your team’s give to?

Nearly 95% of total contributions from owners across America’s major sports leagues went to Republicans. See how your team fared in our database

Here's one for the "no shit..." pile.

Kamala Harris: “In retrospect, I think it was recklessness,” she wrote. “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”

Can't wait for all Biden loyalists who told me to STFU here in 2024 share their victory plans for '26 and '28. #uspol

History suggests that you don't fuck with the Polish air force without paying a big price for it. Careful, Ivan. #histodons

Just a moment...

I'm the parent of a grade 9 student with all sorts of extra curricular commitments like band, academic team, etc., so I'm constantly driving in a loop of drop offs and pick ups. Heading northbound out of the high school parking lot towards one of two main arteries into town there is an unavoidable T intersection with a stop sign where you can take a right into town or a left to the burbs. If city council put a traffic light up, everyone would have equal opportunity to go left or right. But it didn't and won't. The left turn lane is staggered 20 feet behind the right turn lane to make it easier for westbound school buses to turn onto the main access road to the school. I get that. The consequence is that you sit there waiting to turn left, but car after car in the right lane pulls ahead, blocks your vision, and makes it impossible to advance. You can make eye contact, use hand gestures, or honk and swear, but none of the righties ever pause to let you have your go. And isn't this just America distilled.

That is a goddamned shame for the workers.

Many Americans have no idea Crown Royal is actually a Canadian whisky and when I hear this I ask them why a distillery in their republic would lean in on imperial/monarchial language and imagery. I'm an educator after all.

Also, DoFo--buffoon much?

Former CR consumers should consider pivoting to Forty Creek of Grimsby. Perfectly drinkable at a good price point.

Every time I see "America 250" it feels like the follow up is "Jahr eins." Of what, I don't know, but we're done being what we have been.

When was the last time you saw a better book cover? #batman

Some unsolicited advice here:

Profusely thank all your reviewers. Then you call R1 a dilettante (the editor probably already knows this) and attack R2 as a dinosaur. Praise to the heavens R3's attention to detail and depth of knowledge.

If you're going down, do it swinging.

Septembers are for #softball (aka slow pitch back in Canada) down here in this particularly sunny corner of America. Between practices and games, we'll be on the field from about 5-9 p.m. three or four nights a week, fully caked in sweat and red clay dust from the infield by the time the last out has been recorded. All of our players are 18-21 year old university students, and then there's me, doing a fairly passable late career Eddie Harris impression out on the mound. It was a 12-4 win for the good guys during the opener last night and we're back at it at 5 p.m. against our frenemies in the neighbouring preppy residential college with the working HVAC. We're the blue collar free spirits who just know how to win, so bet against us at your peril. Honestly, there's no better remedy for the stresses of stretch drive #baseball fandom than this. #bluejays

Just opened a contract in Docusign and lemme tell you something: there's no worse new feature than an AI generative summary of a legal document. I'm sure "AI told me it was okay" will stand up as a legal defense in court some day. #AI
