“Get the f— outta here.” Not quite what a gloriously fired up Max Scherzer told Blue Jays manager John Schneider when he thought he was being taken out of last night’s game, but that was the gist of it. Tremendous theatre and a new Jays all-time highlight. #BlueJays #Scherzer #baseball #MLB

The Blue Jays are giving fans a magical post-season ride. But do Canadians feel they're Canada's team? A new Angus Reid poll says yes. Check it out. jimbyerstravel.com/2025/10/16/m... #BlueJays #baseball #MLB #Toronto #sports #Jays

What a game. What a team. Bullpen was fab last night. But look at the hitters: 5 of the 10 top American League postseason batting averages belong to the Jays. Clement, Guerrero, Varsho, Barger and Lukes all top 8. Clement hitting an absurd .643; Vladdy .523. Go Jays! #BlueJays

Great things to see and do in Detroit, Michigan, including amazing architecture, fab food, great museums (the Motown Museum!) and excellent hotels. A heckuva sports town, too. jimbyerstravel.com/2025/10/05/a... @VisitDetroit @SATW @PureMichigan #Michigan #Detroit #travel #music #Motown

Apologies to Cleveland fans, who haven’t seen a World Series title since 1948, but happy to see the Detroit Tigers advance to the ALDS with a 6-3 playoff win over the Guardians. #Tigers #Detroit #GoTigers #baseball #MLB

No excuse for the screaming and foul language by American fans at the Ryder Cup. None. Show some class, people. Support your team and gently chide the Europeans. But don’t behave like insolent children and embarrass your country like this. #RyderCup

Thanks to Meet Boston and VISIT FLORIDA, as well as Elite Sports Tours, for invites to enjoy a private box at TWO Blue Jays games this week. This former baseball writer definitely appreciates a Jays game during a pennant race! jimbyerstravel.com/2025/09/27/m... #BlueJays

Jimmy Kimmel was terrific last night. Free speech is a right guaranteed by the Constitution, a document Trump and the GOP claim to worship. We are in very dangerous territory. But maybe Trump and the FCC have done us a favour by sparking this debate. #JimmyKimmel

Blue Jays make the playoffs. That’s not something we expected a few months ago. Congratulations!! #BlueJays #baseball #Toronto #MLB

Air Canada Vacations unveils its first-ever Travellers’ Top Picks Awards. Winners include Bali, Greece, France, Italy, Singapore, Hawaii and New York City. jimbyerstravel.com/2025/09/19/a... #Greece #Italy #Hawaii #Paris #France #Rome #NewYorkCity #travel #Singapore #Bali

Jimmy Kimmel said nothing about Charlie Kirk and the doofus Trump that deserves even a slap on the wrist. To suspend his show demonstrates a chilling approach to US culture and only serves to embolden Trump and his McCarthyism witch hunts. I stand with Jimmy. #JimmyKimmel
