I really think the Jays win the World Series if IKF takes a better lead off of third base when he got thrown out by Rojas. Leads! The small things matter so much.

If we were all dying of thirst in a desert, and three assholes were hoarding more freshwater than they could drink in 15 million lifetimes, we wouldn’t applaud their work ethic or ingenious gaming of the system. We’d take back our fucking water.
