Not showing your cards and not telegraphing your plans to your enemies is a great war strategy. I am not sure it is a great strategy here, unless you think Americans wanting good affordable health care is your enemy, or you still don't have a plan and need another 'two weeks'.
BARTIROMO: How do you want this to play out once the ACA subsidies expire?
DR OZ: We have lots of great ideas, but I don't want to show our cards. As the president often says, why would I telegraph to you what we're gonna do?

Let me write a short thread as it is of interest to many. I'll start off by saying that the landscape has changed from when I got into hockey analytics and when I got hired by the Calgary Flames.
Hey @hockeyanalysis.com, just saw a couple of your posts on X, and I was just wondering if you happened to have any advice for someone aspiring to work in the hockey analytics space or something along those lines

Prime Minister of Ontario?
BREAM: How do trade talks get back on with Canada?
BESSENT: We'll see. This is very serious. The prime minister of Ontario, who I imagine is smarting quite a bit from the Blue Jays loss, spent $75 million interfering in US public policy. A price has got to be paid for this.

41 runners left on base for the Blue Jays in games 3, 6 and 7 combined. A season defined by being able to string together hits for big innings but they couldn't quite do it in those three games.
A great season otherwise and one to remember for Blue Hays fans despite the ending.

I am curious how close Necas' contract is to what the Avalanche were offering Rantanan before they traded him.

The Blue Jays could have won the world series tonight if they had intentionally walked Ohtani in the 7th inning of game 3.
But better to do it at home I guess?

Varland had given up 4 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks in his last 4 outings (4.1 IP). He might be getting over worked. He absolutely needs tomorrow off.

I hate even more that they didn't run Bassitt for another couple innings. He was a starter all year and he only pitched 8 pitches in an 18 inning game where the starter went just 4.1 innings.
Bassitt threw 8 pitches to get 3 out in 8th. Hoffman took 10 to get the worst hitter in the playoffs out.

These two bullpens are one inning away from both pitching complete game shutouts. Go figure.

If the Blue Jays had intentionally walked Ohtani 5 plate appearances ago they may not have needed to intentionally walk him 4 straight times.

He's TACOing before even implementing the announced tariffs.

Trump: "Ronald Reagan loved tariffs. He used them sparingly, which he probably made a mistake on that ... trade wasn't his strong suit ... Canada shouldn't have done it ... I don't know when [the new tariff] is gonna kick in. We'll see. But I really don't want to discuss it."
