You can look at literally every player on this Toronto roster and point to at least one moment the Blue Jays almost certainly would've been eliminated without a huge, difference-making hit from them. Hard to think of a team that embodies the team ideal more than this Jays team.
George Springer is BACK IN THE LINEUP, leading off for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Bo Bichette goes back to his brand new MLB position of second base as Davis Schneider comes out of the lineup.
Kevin Gausman on the mound in just a few hours.

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

The Toronto Blue Jays have won a playoff round for the first time in nine years. And they won it convincing fashion. Yankees had no real answer to Toronto's deep, talented group.

Saw my first urban Toronto wild rabbit since I've been home. This thing eyed me like the start of "Us", kept eye contact the entire time, and didn't move backward or flinch a muscle. My 11-pound Shih Tzu dog looked at it like, "No thanks, friendo" and promptly hauled ass in the other direction.

Pretty special Blue Jays team. Nice to make a lot of people happy.

R.I.P., Robert Redford. All-time great actor, philanthropist and activist. Very hard to pick my favorite film of his, but "Sneakers" was letter-perfect. Redford, Ben Kingsley, Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, Mary McDonnell and David Strathairn. First-rate picture, first-rate person. He'll be missed.

We interrupt this Bluesky feed to inform you -- the umpire in the Blue Jays/Orioles game is comically inept. Both teams are already incensed with the guy, and it's the second inning. Bring on the robot umps.

If Ron is in your area, you'd be amiss to miss him. Singular artist, stand-up guy, poet's soul. For serious -- go see him.

"Nobody's Fool" was one of Newman's last classics. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Bonus Ghost content for today's launch: I stopped by @kphipps3000.bsky.social & @scotttobias.bsky.social's The Reveal to write about one of my favorite comfort food movies, Paul Newman's absurdly charming 1994 comedy Nobody's Fool. thereveal.film/weekend-watc...

What a shame. I interviewed him many years ago. And he was a phenomenal artist, and always one of the best parts of Tarantino's movies. R.I.P.

Brendan Shanahan's time running the Maple Leafs is over. He did many good things in his time in Toronto, but it was time for a change. And there's a very solid foundation for his successor to build on. Shanahan will land on his feet in another market, and the Leafs will try again with someone else.

Sooner or later, there's going to be an HBO prestige-TV drama series, and it's only going to be re-enactments of Leafs Game 7s. And they're going to call it "Game Of Moans"
