The Blue Jays can win the World Series tonight.

Those words feel incredible to say.

Let's go win it. #BlueJays

Let's try this again. Grind away #BlueJays and let's get into their bullpen. Just not the ENTIRE bullpen.
Okay #BlueJays nows the time to grind and get into their bullpen.

Are you sure you want to throw a third pitch? #BlueJays

If Yesavage is able to feature his splitter tonight, he'll look like a completely different pitcher.

At least I hope. #BlueJays

I don't know if they changed the colour slightly at some point, but those #BlueJays baby blue uniforms have grown on me.

By the way, I did not mean the ENTIRE bullpen. #BlueJays
Okay #BlueJays nows the time to grind and get into their bullpen.

I'm not sure I'm entirely on board with Bo Bichette on the roster. I hope he has a monster series.

But he has not played in over 45 days.

But, Bo is taking all the risk, he needs a contract next year.

I predict either a total disaster or he hits 2 bombs and turns multiple double plays. #BlueJays

It's sad there's no #BlueJays baseball....

Until the WORLD SERIES that is!!

I opened that site that shall not be named. I was greeted by two "trending news" items.

One stated the blue jays lost in 6 games.

The other stated the blue jays lost in 7 games.

Except game 7 is currently happening. Right now.

As you probably guessed. Summarized by that sites AI.

#BlueJays baseball and thanksgiving dinner on the same day. It's been awhile!

Trey Yesavage has 10 strike outs out of 12 total outs. #bluejays

My Vine and Japanese Maple bonsai transplants in year 0. I had issues with mildew.

One JM *just pushed* new leaves since transplanting.

3/3 JM and 4/5 VM still alive.

One of the VMs didn't grow *at all* after transplant, but also did not die. I hope it comes back next spring. #bonsai

If I have the math right....

A #bluejays win and a #NYY loss and the Blue Jays clinch the AL pennant.

Mariners cannot catch the Blue Jays as the Jays have the tie breaker.

Yankees cannot clinch today.

I planted some Golden Mimosa seeds back in Sept 2023 -- I had written them off.

I moved them to the bottom of the greenhouse as I didn't expect them to sprout.

I didn't properly stratify them.

They were in 2.5x2.5x3" pots since. They didn't get direct water, only runoff.

I thought it was a weed.
