My job is car. Former editor at Autoblog and Edmunds, current writer for many car sites. I also like Star Trek and the Toronto Blue Jays, so that’ll get sprinkled in here, too. Proudly 🇨🇦

I love that current #BlueJays PA announcer Tim Langdon announced Joe Carter and Devon White exactly how old PA announcer Murray Eldon used to do it. Awesome.

New Blues at home, no white panel? What the hell are they doing? Screw it, I’m staying consistent. #BlueJays

The last time the #BlueJays played a World Series game 6, I was there. I was also 10. And they won. Watching from (very) afar 32 years later, but hoping the rest of history repeats itself.

Could he possibly be slower than Kirk or Bo?

Stroman. At least, Stro definitely pitch ran at some point in 2016.

At the end of this series, George Springer is going to just fall to pieces like the Bluesmobile at the end of The Blues Brothers.

I'm now a tri-national automotive journalist. So very cool to see my byline at Auto Express. As for the car, the RAV4 GR Sport may be new to the U.S., but there was a last-gen one in the U.K. It didn't come close to the new one's chassis enhancements, though. www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/rav4/...

The all-new Toyota RAV4 SUV is an improvement over the model it replaces, but still falls short in some areas

Google Discover is essential to loads of media now, and yet this is the shit it will shovel at you.
The image shows a green BMW M4 with a crudely drawn "Lancer" rear license plate. It is captioned "2026 Mitsubishi Lancer first look: stunning performance revealed"

The #BlueJays will never actually wear this hat in the World Series, but at least I got this before it ended.

50 years??? What about Billy Heywood with the Twins? That was, what, 93?

BREAKING: The Washington Nationals are finalizing a deal to hire Blake Butera as manager, sources tell ESPN. Butera, 33, will be the youngest manager in MLB in more than 50 years. In four seasons as a minor league manager in the Rays organization, his teams had a 258-144 record.

Barring some Game 7 drama, Trey Yesavage’s mind-boggling 2025 is over.

It began with a pro debut vs. MIA’s Single-A team. He went 3.2 IP in front of a crowd of 327.

It ends with the rookie striking out 12 over 7 innings in Game 5 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium.

This is such a gloriously detailed telling of a delightfully parsnickety chapter of #BlueJays history. Worth a read during commercials my fellow fans.

Well, that was bound to happen. Canadian anthem singer screwed up the words. At least the English ones. No clue about the French ones. #BlueJays

That explains why Game 6 in '92 went so damn late! 11 innings ... with the post-game celebration, it was the latest I had ever stayed up by HOURS.

I would seem that Vladdy is out of the zone. Flailing again. #BlueJays

I like to say that advertising is not how we make money, but how we avoid losing money. But that’s no longer the case, because of what I suspect are changes to Google’s algorithm to promote utter crap...

Really wish I would’ve taken that shower instead of watching the pre game show.

Colossal mistake. If you’re walking Judge and Raleigh left and right, what the hell are you doing pitching to Ohtani with no one on?
