Rodriguez is not ingratiating himself to John Schneider or the fan base.

The sky isn't falling, same as ALDS G3, but still not good for the 'pen with 2 more games before an off day.

By way of background: 3-yrs ago, I looked into FL RV parks for snowbirds. One resort, that I hadn't heard from since, sent me an email offer on Mon: 1000$/mo on a site that is regularly 3000$/mo for Jan/Feb/Mar.

Did everyone notice the Disney World ad for 25% discount for Canadian residents? Getting desperate, Florida?

@wilnerness.bsky.social Any W-L stats on #Bluejays when they have a 4-run inning? Thanks!

I promised myself that I wouldn't drink while watching the game. Not helping, #Bluejays

I have it on good authority that only telecon billionaires should have statues in front of baseball stadiums.

How do we watch this is Canada?

Great pod, Mike. I look forward to the post Game 3 edition, when the series is 2-1.

Enjoy Seattle. It's a lovely city and stadium. I saw Ichiro there in the mid-00s.

I'll be following along here and via the blog.

Doug "Tough on Shoplifting" Ford will probably give this guy the Order of Ontario.

#Bluejays fans know this, all too well.

Why was "Captain Canada" at Home Depot and not at Rona?

Learned this in Grade 6 or 7 shop class

Soon enough "fans" like that will be back to showing that, in addition to being MLB GMs or managers, they should also be NHL GMs and coaches.

I'm a fan but not a masochist. I turned it off at the end of 7.

Hot & cold #Bluejays bats since the end of August. Bad time to get cold, again.

But I will take maddening #OctoberBaseball over none, every time.

As Earl Weaver said "Pitching, defense, and the three-run homer."

Still 15 outs to go.

Had to take the dog for his after dinner walk and business.

Did I miss anyt....

Nevermind. #Bluejays

I will still take this over no #OctoberBaseball. Lots of innings left.

I don't care if I ever see the Rogers "Plus It Up" ad ever again, and it won't cause me to go back to Rogers.

But the Home Hardware "Raise a Little Hell" ad is brilliant. I can watch it every break. And I shop there.

I am always genuinely concerned that owners of these places pocket the tips and don't flow them through to the staff.

Good service? Slip the server cash.

Get checked by your doc the first chance that you get. Soft tissue injury is common and insidious after a rear end collision.

Is "swing tightness" a thing?

Why Thanksgiving dinner is better on Sunday than Monday:
1. A lazy long weekend Monday (or a bike ride in the crazy warm temps)
2. Low hydro rates (in ON) means running three loads of dishes without worry
3. In 2025, #Bluejays baseball!

While Virginia voted Harris; the subj county voted Trump. So, Mr Moore, show us your donation records from 2024. If you sent $$ to Harris, maybe I'm sympathetic. To Trump, you asked for this. Didn't donate? Silence gives consent.
