The elections taking place across the #UnitedStates over next few days will have a significant impact on political momentum in that country. Get out there and make your votes count folks. Your democratic rights are under attack, so take advantage of them while you can. #uspoli

How much different would the 2025 #WorldSeries outcome have been if Jose Berrios & Anthony Santander were both healthy?
After one of the greatest #WorldSeries battles we've ever seen, the #MLB Offseason has begun. The following are free agents:
Chris Bassitt
Bo Bichette
Max Scherzer
Ty France
Isiah Kiner-Falefa
#BlueJays payroll obligations are already at $226M, most notable Arb cases with Varsho & Clement.
I don't know about that call man....
#BlueJays are one fly ball to the outfield away from winning the #WorldSeries....
#Dodgers have 3 wins, #BlueJays have 3 wins
#Dodgers have 4 runs, #BlueJays have 4 runs
What #BlueJays have that #Dodgers don't is 3 more outs...
Hope the announcers have their calls ready....

Congrats to Ernie Clement for becoming the player with the most hits in one #MLB season's playoffs with 30 hits.
Heck of a feat. #BlueJays
Again. I'm 100% pro-Cap.
Always have been.
Brains & how much heart & work ethic your team has should be the reason you win, not just because you can buy more talent than most.
That's just complete BS.
Every other league gets it.
ALL of them.
You need a cap, and you need open books so that money is shared 50/50 between owners and players.
End of fucking story.

I hope that people who judge Vladdy’s defence by iffy metrics are gaining an appreciation of his game in this postseason.
#WorldSeries Game 7 so far
Mammoth HR? ✅
Hit batter leads to benches & pens clearing? ✅
Stellar defensive plays? ✅
Edge of your seat innings with lots of traffic on base? ✅
Future Hall of Famers showing off throughout? ✅
Rookie (Yesavage) emulating Madison Bungarner heroics? ✅
Really has it all
#MLB
#BlueJays are 6 outs away from winning 2025 #WorldSeries
One more Yesavage inning then onto Hoffman?
When Max Scherzer gets inducted into the Hall of Fame, his strike out totals will rank him 9th overall, behind Walter Johnson and ahead of Greg Maddux. #BlueJays fans got to enjoy what he's all about tonight, even as he nears the end of a tremendous career. The definition of Fire & Ice. #MLB

Here's what I don't get about that Ohtani AB.
He was up 0-2 against Ohtani - why throw one in the middle of the plate?
Go fish.
#BlueJays
Wrobleski hits Giménez
Springer hits Wrobleski
Hit for Hit.
End of story?
We shall see....
