Fall in Edmonton is really pretty.

We have a guest for this evening's game.

Every time the Blue Jays score a run, Fred and Rookie get a pumpkin strip.

Fred, a big blonde lab mutt, stands beside his cousin, Rookie, a similar colored mini-daschund, who is about one tenth the size.

George Fuckin Springer gets the party started as early as possible.

Fred, a big blonde lab mutt, is standing at the top of a giant set of stairs overlooking the North Saskatchewan river. Beside him is a similar colored daschund named Rookie, that is about one tenth the size. The river is blue, and the trees are a mixture of green and yellow.

Vladdy admits why he dislikes the Yankees in a 2023 interview: "When a team humiliates you, the Lord grants you the ability to humiliate them

“It was me who was removed from the stadium, I was 7 or 8 years old, so I was like okay... Now when I arrive you're going to feel my presence in the Bronx."

Love how Vladdy has a chance to go head to head with both MVP front-runners in back to back series.

Won't be any different in Detroit either

Mark D @markdrebert.bsky.social · 2d

Do all American play by play announcers say "payoff pitch" literally every full count?

Fred, a big blonde lab mutt, waits with eyes wide open for his first snack of the evening.
