This Blue Jays team was incredible.
These Blue Jays taught us what it means to be a team. Showed by example what it means to bring your whole self with imperfections and contribute to something greater by working with others.

Mad Max rages against Father Time -- literally -- in high-octane Game 4
SEATTLE -- Max Scherzer refused to let the sun go down. Not now, not yet.
Scherzer was vibrating on the mound, raging against everything the night threatened to be. If Scherzer were a banker or a taxi driver, 41 would be a fine age, but he is neither of those

This is wild, even by North Korean dictatorship standards.
The BBC obtained a mobile phone that was smuggled out of North Korea.
The level of control the regime holds over its citizens is shocking but not surprising.
