Is Morrow the new Zac Jones? If they're not going to play him what's he doing here instead of in Hartford?

Trump and his cronies trying to paint NYC as a warzone hellhole about to fall into Communist Muslim Madness getting dunked on by the NYPD is hilarious and unexpected

I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke.

I got to see them in person this summer when they came to Toronto (and won). They're good.

I'm going to have a similar seating angle for Macca in Montreal next month. I decided it was better than having no angle at all.

Dodger organist Dieter Ruehle plays “Jesus Christ Superstar” as Shohei Ohtani leaves the mound after one of the greatest single game performances in MLB history.

Rationalizing doesn't win you ball games though. Shit happens. Everyone is going after low hanging fruit. Dominguez keeps the ball in the park against a sub Mendoza line batter and no one is having this conversation.

I dunno man. They needed to be up more than 2-1 the way this series has been. Having Hoffman shit the bed instead of Little doesn't change that. Yes rue the bullpen selection. But Dominguez hit a guy and gave up the slam. Rue the rest too and accept sometimes baseball doesn't go your way.

Questionable, sure. Dominguez hit a guy and gave up the big blast. IKF had a baserunning brain fart. Varsho is in a slump. Clement (no fault to him) hit into the most unexpected ending inning double play. Little may stand out as a choice but a lot of other shit went wrong.

Blue Jays jersey watch: Sunday should be a day for the home whites. Mix it up again.

Folks, this has been a beautiful season.

And it’s not over.

These are still the best damn dudes. And they’re coming home and still have a shot at winning it all.

This is the Season of Good Vibes.

Maybe tonight’s not the night to find them…but when you’re ready, dig deep.

The dudes need it.

Exactly. Big Dumper doesn't hit 64 dingers in 2025 off chumps only. I'd rather it didn't go out but here we are.

Bad managerial decision. Should have been Hoffman giving up that HR.

wencer @andrewencer.bsky.social · 1d

And that's fair and reasonable! I well remember 92 and 93, even if I wasn't a Jays fan at the time. The sky fell a lot in those years, even in the World Series. You Gotta Believe, to paraphrase the 69 Mets. And I do.

wencer @andrewencer.bsky.social · 1d

But you can't isolate any single game so far and base the series outcome on it. Flush tonight, show up on Sunday, and kick them in the junk.

wencer @andrewencer.bsky.social · 1d

I don't think it's over by a long shot. We went through multiple blowouts on both sides into an unexpected pitchers duel. And then a brain cramp bullpen decision that might have withstood a few What Ifs.

Fuck everyone on SportsNet is so angry I think the Jays may have a new manager for game 6

Also shit on Little all you want, but Dominguez hit a guy and gave up the big blast.

wencer @andrewencer.bsky.social · 1d

If the bats had capitalized on their advantages more we wouldn't have seen Little probably. If Dominguez had kept that ball in the park it wouldn't have mattered. That's baseball.

It was going so well. Except it wasn't going well enough.
