The nonsensical ramblings of a part-time alcoholic. BMX-Beer-Bands-Baseball, not necessarily in that order.

Not sure what’s worse, the broadcast acting like team Canada is really just a bunch of hockey players trying their hand at baseball for the first time, or the infield defence playing like that’s actually true.

Ok so why is Ford negotiating a new trade agreement with the US? That’s a federal issue, is it not? Rather not have that bumbling buffoon negotiating on our behalf thanks.

“Man I was wrong”, says local man who is usually wrong about everything.

So hilarious that Americans seem to think that TikTok is just going to wither away and die because they can’t use it anymore. The rest of the world still exists even if you can’t access it.

Looking at the bullpen itself, this is a strong move for the #BlueJays. 1. Jeff Hoffman is very good and has earned a shot at closing. 2. This slides Yimi García, Erik Swanson and Chad Green into much more natural roles and simplifies things for Pete Walker and John Schneider.

Moving the party further to the right while all of your critics tell you to stop moving to the left. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
Now that Trudeau has resigned, I look forward to 8 or so weeks of the most irritating people in the country asserting that the problem was his compulsively centrist government "moving too far to the left"

After decades of working there. Should probably start day one tbh.
Just learned that Canada Post employees get up to 7 weeks of vacation AND 13 personal days.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The missing context in this post is that 7 weeks of vacation only kicks in after 28 years of full-time service and if the employee was hired prior to April 1, 2009. And it's 6 weeks for FTEs with 28 years hired after April 1, 2009. hrreporter.com/focus-areas/la…

Raise the banner.
Ross Atkins says the #BlueJays were "grateful to be a part of the process" with Juan Soto. When I asked if that financial flexibility could be used immediately elsewhere, Atkins said: “Every player, every acquisition is unique. I would say that those two are incredibly unique."

So in the last two years, the Jays went all-in on the largest FA available and missed out on both. At this point, anything other than handing Vlad a massive contract extension this offseason would be a huge disappointment, and a massive middle finger to the entire fanbase.
