Tough loss for the #Whitecaps, as the dream comes to an end….a few fatal errors and a ball that hit both posts without going in did them in…losing sucks

Giveaway by the #Whitecaps costs them…and Miami takes the lead, against the run of play #MLSCupFinal ugh

And a bad giveaway by the #Whitecaps costs them a goal…against the run of play…man, that’s a crusher….2-1 Miami #MLSCupFinal

What a match…#Whitecaps even the score, then blast the ball off two posts, but it stays out…omg #MLSCupFinal

#Whitecaps much better towards the end of the half…but still down a goal #MLSCup

Carlos Delgado was blessed with as much talent to crush a baseball as nearly anyone. He also used his platform to speak out against injustice.

@jayjaffe.bsky.social on the Hall of Fame case of the longtime slugger, whose candidacy will be decided tomorrow by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee:
2026 Contemporary Baseball Era Committee Candidate: Carlos Delgado
The longtime Blue Jays and Mets slugger bashed a ton of homers, and — more importantly — used his platform to speak out against injustice.

My #Vinyl Saturday continues its tribute to the late great guitarist, Steve Cropper, who died this week, with this appropriately festive, soulful compilation..Cropper was part of Booker T and the MGs, and two cuts on this album came from their own #Christmas record…Ho Ho Ho

The guitar world lost one of its greats this week, with the passing of side guy extraordinaire, #SteveCropper. Also longtime member of Booker T and the MGs…and, oh yeah, he co-wrote Otis Redding’s biggest hit, The Dock of the Bay…playing now on my #Vinyl Saturday #OtisRedding

What is it with blowing up boats anyway? That's not how the drugs get into the States. They come from Mexico in vehicles. So maybe Hegseth should start blowing up narco-terrorist semi-trailers and drug mule mini-vans, and hitting them twice to leave no witnesses and incinerate the evidence.

Man, is this guy lost….#Canucks #Messi @whitecapsfc.com

No masks, no swapped out plates, no badgeless enforcement. ICE and CBP: stop being the Gestapo.

Who hasn’t been there?
He'll be back
A raccoon entered a liquor store the other day and drank his fill: rum, moonshine, even peanut butter whiskey. Then he passed out on the floor of the bathroom. Don’t worry, he’s OK, and was safely released back into the wild.

Bad teams cough up goals in the final minute of a period…#Canucks have done it twice tonight….Quinn Hughes looks burdened
