Victory as we perceive it now may take longer than our lifetimes to achieve, and it can only be made possible if we find our community and grow our movement organically over time.

Expecting that an 80-year conflict can be solved if only enough people are "aware" of it is utterly naïve.

The brutal truth is that most people are not interested in hearing us, not willing to sacrifice anything in pursuit of a fairer world, and not empathic enough to feel compelled to respond to the cries of the most vulnerable in our world.

That doesn't mean the struggle is entirely for nothing.

If you feel compelled to speak out about Palestine, good. Do it. Better yet, amplify Palestinian voices.

But understand: speaking out does not mean people consent to seeing or hearing you.

Your social media reach isn't being restricted. You're just waving a flag alone on a hill.

Nah.

Can't help but agree.

The Blue Jays played full-send ball, smacked the Yankees in the mouth, and got lucky against the Mariners. It was fun while it lasted.

At the end of the day, they will always be that pariah Canadian team that loses both trades and clutch games to legacy franchises.

Again, I don't think anyone here understands the sheer magnitude of the psychological damage which losing like this does to a franchise. Take the Leafs' 2013 loss to Boston as (maybe) a comparable example.

It's hard enough playing a team like the Dodgers. Now they have to do so while seeing ghosts.

There is one reason though: Jeff Hoffman.

I agree that Game 7 was exceptional beyond belief, but some of those moments you refer to don't happen if Hoffman doesn't pitch an absolute meatball to Rojas on a 3-2 count.

He owned it, which is fine, but he should never play in the majors ever again.

The Blue Jays are, and will continue to be, a great baseball team.

But there is simply no recovering from the psychological damage of losing Game 7 the way they did.

And with Vladdy contracted until the end of his career, the ghosts of 2025 will plague the team into a slow, painful rebuild.

😱

There is simply no way back from this for the Blue Jays. It's the kind of loss that mortally wounds a franchise and sticks in the psyche of its players for the rest of their lives.

Their future as the AL's answer to the New York Mets is inescapable.

Thank you for all you do, Sarah.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays will never fully recover from this loss as a franchise and will spend the next thirty years making the New York Mets look like a good team.

It may have been one of the greatest games of baseball ever played, but we would do anything to forget it ever happened.

They won't. The Jays' window is now slammed shut for the next thirty years.

We are about to witness the Toronto Blue Jays become the New York Mets of the AL East.

If you're unfamiliar, the Leafs are close enough.

The Mariners-Jays series was one for the ages. It had its chippy moments but will mostly be remembered for the high quality of play from both teams.

The Mariners will continue to be a problem in seasons to come.

Your team deserve better than your salty simping for Shohei Ohtani.

Shut up.

I agree with Derek Jeter: the Dodgers are a juggernaut.

But they are also not infallible. The Jays hold a better regular season record and took a game off the Dodgers in their three-game series.

Anything can happen in baseball, but dOdGerS iN 4 is just Mariners fans coping and seething.
