Thank you #Bluejays

What a ride.

So tied up in it I couldn’t even tell you which inning that was. ☹️

A broken bat just about sums it up

Yamamoto wants to pitch 9 innings doesn’t he cos he missed out last night.

This is the reason we didn’t pinch run for Bo in that last inning!

Epstein money wired to Russian banks?

Don’t tell me Russia was financing Epstein. Imagine the kompromat they’d hold over the most influential men in the US - and that Mountbatten-Windsor bloke

JP Morgan warned US of $1bn in Epstein transactions possibly related to human trafficking
Bank says it alerted US of ‘suspicious’ transactions just weeks after paedophile was found dead in New York jail cell

What an unlucky pair of events to lose the game to.

Obviously the baseball gods wanted a Game 7.

Rumor has it, that to make Andrew feel better about what happened, King Charles has arranged for him to go on an all expenses paid fishing trip to Venezuela.

A note to Canadian parents: It’s Game 6 on Friday, so Halloween is over at 7:30 pm this year.

If you show up at my door after then, I’m giving your children chewing tobacco.

For some reason, after that Jays game, I am thinking of what Ilya Bryzgalov said about another team of Canadians in 2010: “They came like gorillas coming out of a cage.”

No punches pulled about the Dodgers but this seemed a bit harsh:

“…being populated by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer and a bunch of anonymous grinders.”

That’s the only problem with watching the World Series in Australia - ESPN cut away from the game almost straight after the final pitch.

Quite remarkable performance over three games in LA. A heartbreaking loss followed by two gutsy wins and a pitching performance of the ages

I’m old enough to remember when they wondered if Vladdy would ever be able to play 1st base successfully.
