I cringe to think of all the articles and headlines I wrote over my journalism career that contained phrases like “autistic man,” “blind woman” or “handicapped child.” In my defence, times were different when I graduated J-school.

I’m showing this to my mom, who inexplicably lives in Texas and wonders why I don’t visit anymore.

I briefly considered spending $2,500 for a ticket in the nosebleeds tonight, but sanity prevailed. Sitting on the couch in my Toronto Blue Jays T-shirt will have to do. #GoJaysGo

I can’t wait to see what *tomorrow’s* front page looks like. I’ve been mulling over headline options, and I think I’d go with the simplest choice — CHAMPS! — in the biggest type size possible.

I get such a kick out of watching Varsho run. He looks like a speedy toddler trying to avoid a spanking.

Ripe with possibility.

Betts and Freeman are great, but they don’t scare you like Ohtani. Heck, no one does. Maybe in an alternate universe Mookie just walked and Freddie crushed a 3-run homer. We’ll never know.

It’s totally intentional that Toronto is in a different country. Completely by design. We Canadians prefer it that way.
