Just a gentle reminder that its November 2nd. If you arent doing it already, everyone should be wearing poppies until noon on November 11th. Then Christmas your faces off.

A little etiquette for the observance of veterans who sacrificed so much for our freedom isnt asking too much. Is it?

Whose idea was it to schedule game 6 of the World Series on Halloween? WTAF?

I signed a contract to be the "outside guy" in a clown costume a year ago and have no escape or not with standing clause. Jesus.

I get a cold concrete bench and a dram or two of Jameson. Not fair.

What is wrong with john Schnieder putting in Fluharty, Little Or Fisher in on any world series game. Expecting a different outcome? Come on.

Game 3 tied at 4. Bottom of the 6th.

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

It's always good to develop new skill sets at almost 72 years old. A small generator fought me for over a week, refusing to start. A couple of youtube videos later, I changed the plug, drained old gas and dismantled, and cleaned the carb. It started on the third pull and ran at a steady RPM. I WIN

OK.
Blue Jays,
Let's, play, ball.

It's time to end this series and head to the fall classic.

Thanks for the great ball.
