I’m a casual baseball fan. Pulling for the Blue Jays because Geddy Lee does, too. That said, this has been a fantastic series with two equally matched teams winning in conventional and unconventional ways!

Tariffs are being raised on Canada. As if I couldn’t afford Rush tickets to begin with.

Joe Van Haecke @inspirememrv.bsky.social · 10d

I figure if everyone on the interwebs were to Venmo me just $1, I might be able to afford Rush tickets. DM me out of the goodness of your heart!

Joe Van Haecke @inspirememrv.bsky.social · 10d

I’m surprised myself. The last two games, we saw a different team. Hoping we can get back to winning side this weekend.

Oh I SO want to try this now!

Not shut out, just out priced. This teacher couldn’t afford tix and it’s killing me!

Simple AND genius! I find I forget too often and now I have no excuse!

I’m feeling the same.

Aw, thanks. I’m hoping so, too. I’m in central IA- about 5ish hours out of Chicago.

I had hoped differently but ticket prices for the #Rush #fiftysomething tour are out of this teacher’s budget. All those that can go, thanks for supporting a band that has influenced who I am since 1978.

Well poop. Rough day for my teams all around. However, a glorious day of watching high school marching bands share their gift with us.

Rocco and the offense even seem to realize that but still lack in production. It’s like suddenly they’re too scared and up in their heads to be successful.

Joe Van Haecke @inspirememrv.bsky.social · 20d

Have lost all mojo that was there earlier. Something needs to happen. Mouser made some seriously confusing choices lately.

Joe Van Haecke @inspirememrv.bsky.social · 20d

I thought I was the only one wondering what happened to the TEs. Sigh.

Or just one.

Joe Van Haecke @inspirememrv.bsky.social · 20d

Anyone else got some eligibility, esp as a kicker, that we could play for the Cyclones? #bluecy

Joe Van Haecke @inspirememrv.bsky.social · 22d

For the record, I’m not opposed to anyone gifting me Rush tickets for Chicago. Help a teacher out. Just sayin.

I’m a casual baseball fan. I cheer for the Cubs because I married a fan. Also pulling for the Blue Jays because I’m a Rush fan and Geddy Lee is a Blue Jays fan!

I don’t follow baseball closely and even I was questioning that choice.

Not playing to our strengths today was a curious choice.
