I’m pretty sure 1980’s era King Crimson is too weird for my dog. She keeps giving me weird looks.

One of my hobbies is looking at used drum kits on Facebook marketplace to see just how ridiculously they are set up. No person is possibly shaped to fit on some of them.

Don’t they already get paid like $5000 a pitch?

This is getting to be a problem.

Very much enjoyed the Billie Eilish billionaire shade. I hope this increases.

As a Canadian, we were always told Hawaiin pizza was invented in Canada. I’m in Germany and this came up and a German colleague said it was invented in Germany.

Not a slant to basketball, which I love, but this excludes the 10 million Canadians that tuned into Sportsnet to watch game 7. Maybe the most watched anything in Canadian history.
Truly a brutal day for the “baseball is dying” crowd

I’d have liked that season more if the Jays had won that game, sure. But kind of in the same way that I’d have liked a filet mignon more if it had one more bite. It was still pretty fucking good!

A tremendous World Series decided by the slimmest of margins. Not at all sure the better team won, but that’s baseball. The Blue Jays were fierce, and I’m a bit heartbroken for all the Jays fans in my feed and orbit — Toronto folks have been supportive and awesome to me going back over a decade.

Since May 1st, including the playoffs, the Blue Jays have the highest wOBA in baseball and it's not particularly close.

A note to Canadian parents: It’s Game 6 on Friday, so Halloween is over at 7:30 pm this year.

If you show up at my door after then, I’m giving your children chewing tobacco.

In MLB history, 334 hitters have come to the plate 60+ times in a playoff run.

Of that group, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s 2025 ranks second by wRC+ (248) behind only Barry Bonds in 2002.

With that ninth-inning knock, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. now has the second-most hits in a single playoff run (26), and it looks like we're going to play at least two more games...

I’m in Italy for a conference. But what I’ll remember is watching this World Series game from my hotel room.

This team breaks people’s brains.
The Toronto Blue Jays fouled off 39 pitches in 8 innings last night (they didn't have to bat in the 9th).

It's the most foul balls hit by a team in the first 8 innings of a World Series game in the entire pitch tracking era (2008-now).

Blue Jays’ World Series Game 1 Victory Is a Win for an Old-School Approach
Toronto’s pesky at-bats in the 11–4 win over the Dodgers went against the grain and accomplished a feat not seen in the World Series since 1978.

Last night was the most-watched Blue Jays game Sportsnet has ever had via @SportsnetPR:
•An average of 6 million Canadians watched
•An average of 1.9 million watched Blue Jays Central pre-game
• Max audience of 8.3 million when Jeff Hoffman struck out Julio to end the game

One of my favourite things about baseball is if you hit a huge home run, you have to first run between the members of the dejected other team while you’re celebrating. What other sports celebration is like that?
