Have to disagree.
Dodgers are terrible for baseball as a whole. Honestly tired of seeing them in playoffs just because they bought their way in. Sure, they’re smarter about it than Mets, but it’s still 100% obscene.
It's the aiming low part of it.
Game 7 #WorldSeries Watch Party at Scotiabank Arena in #Toronto will cost you between $70 and $150 per ticket. Considering the $1,000s that tickets at the stadium would cost, this may be the much more feasible option that still gets you in a hyped atmosphere. #BlueJays #Jays
If there is another rlection, #Liberals will win the biggest majority ever.
#CPC should be very careful what they ask for. In this caee, it likely leads to break up if their party, with Progressives returning & Reformers going back into the whole from once they came.
Buy the best TV available instead.
And steak dinners for all!!
Many more reasons, but mostly due to lack of unions:
1. Lack of unions = lack of benefits of all kinds, not just medical, also in terms of savings, unpaid leave, parental leave, etc..
2. Lack of unions = minimum wages that are frighteningly low, to a level that rivals 3rd world nations
#Rays gave C Nathan Flewelling (18) a taste of A+ ball in 2025. In a tiny sample, despite being MUCH younger than other C in the league, he proved ready for the challenge. His combination of very high defensive skills & intriguing at bat abilities combine to make him a very exciting #Rays prospect.
Who needs the stock market if it’s making 80% of the world miserable?
My theory is this:
By not doing any batting practice RH, Taylor would significantly increase the potential of his swing LH. It doesn’t guarantee anything, but it improves the odds he gets to be somewhat productive at the plate.
And yet they continue to allow Taylor Walls to switch hit.
If it isn’t making the hitter any better, then switch hitting shouldn’t be used.
Pick a side. Try something new. With 80% of the pitchers being RHP, Walls should attempt being a LHB only. Complements Carson Williams best as well.
I will never understand the #Orioles.
#BlueJays may have named Max Scherzer SP for Game 7, but we all know in truth this is going to be a pen day for both teams. Everyone outside of Gausman & Yamamoto is available, and based on what we saw to end Game 6 from Sasaki & Glasnow, I’d bet a lot if $ that Tyler is who #Dodgers call on late.

Keep them.
We’ll build our own.
#Canada
You build what the world needs.
And you sell it for profit.
Not as a raw material, as Canada used to do.
And this includes military gear, not just semi-conductors etc…
He is no President.
He’s a Dictator.
And that’s exactly what a dictator does.
The fact that they forced the use of Glasnow is huge.
As tough a loss as that was to watch, who doesn’t love a Game 7?
November Baseball it is!

Well, you knew the #Dodgers big hitters weren't going to take Game 6 of the #WorldSeries off. They've shown up and gone to work. Can the #BlueJays lineup respond against one of the best SP in #MLB? We'll see...
What does the #TSX say about #Canada 's economy?
The TSX's performance can provide insights into the #Canadian economy's health. Strong TSX reflects robust corporate earnings & growth, and indicates a positive economic outlook.
Here's the TSX over last 3 months.
You tell me how it looks. #cdnpoli

Through two innings, Kevin Gausman is almost halfway to #Bluejays all-time record for strikeouts in a single post-season game. Set Wednesday by Trey Yesavage.
Kevin Gausman has 11 swings and misses through 2 IP folks.
That is an insane level of dominance.
#BlueJays #MLB #Dodgers #WorldSeries
This was the lineup the last time #Jays won #WorldSeries.
They had 3 x Hall of Famers in that lineup.
How many future HOFers do they have in tonight's lineup?
