one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

I couldn’t get beyond how self important and full of herself she is (not that there was really any substantive content in any of things she said….)

I’m just vibing rn. If you had told me in April I’d be watching the jays play on Thanksgiving in the ALCS I never would have believed it

This Jays season has been an unexpected, wonderful #blessing. It would be nice not to get ritually humiliated in the ALCS, but I'm not going to act like it wasn't fun as hell if this is where it ends.

Merri flip-mas to all the Blue Jays fans out there who are still nursing their frustration from the weekend. But no matter what happens next, we’ll alway have this (and also a good reminder that anything can happen in baseball!)

I was really hoping for three three-run home runs 😂 (and it was nice to see you and your family in person)

It was lovely to meet you in person and yell at the blue jays together tonight 😂

We should never have opinions about MLB umpires. If we do, it’s not because they’re bad at their job, it’s because they’re terrible. Like unbelievably awful.

I have opinions about Doug Eddings.

There was very little chaos (unless you were a blue jays pitcher haha)

I know it's fun to be super aggravated by my sports team and I KNOW it looks bleak but I choose to believe. I've seen this team win 4 out of 5 games before. They can do it again.

I tried to convince the jays to score some runs but they listen to me about as well as my children do (ie not at all lol)
