Several months ago MAGA were defending the orange felon by saying tariffs won’t ever increase prices and now they’re defending him by saying he’ll decrease prices by removing tariffs. Yes, it’s an idiot death cult.

“First they fascinate the fools then they muzzle the intelligent.” ― Bertrand Russell

A selection of Roman glassware, mostly from the eastern provinces & made 1600-2000 years ago - and a clear demonstration of how much the Romans like a bit of colour in their homes!

61 years ago today Detroit’s Gordie Howe set the then NHL record of 627 goals in a 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens. He would go to record 801 regular season goals and 68 playoff goals. What a career!

We lost my best friend Dennis Maywood fifty-five years ago today at his age 20. He never got to live his life. They say time heals, it’s not true. You’re not forgotten Denny.

I stand with the women of Mexico. It is beyond shocking to me that their President could be groped in public. Where is the international outrage? We need to send a message to Mexican women that you are not alone.

In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals. Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there. Or it’s creating it. Either answer is terrible for sports.

Now we have baseball’s Clase and Ortiz being charged with rigging pitching on top of the NBA scandal. Big money attracts criminals. I don’t have a solution but I feel all the online sports betting and their game time advertising is just wrong.

I’m trying to watch the Raptors - Hawks game. Am I the only one who thinks hot pink hardwood is a horrible idea?

Loved the Oscar Wilde quote read out at the start of Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction ceremony this evening: “If you cannot write well, you cannot think well; if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you.” Yay books! (book in pic was in my goody bag, not the winner)

A #Roman helmet with a bit of a decorative surprise - on the back, it features two little mice chasing after loaves of panis quadratus bread. Made about 1850 years ago, it once belonged to a soldier named Julius Mansuetus - did he choose this unusual decoration? 🐭 (📷Christies) 🏺 #AncientBlueSky

If it felt like we had 47 postseason games this year, that's because we did.

Right on!

I’ve had a couple of days to process the Jay’s game 7 loss. I don’t know how many years I have left and while the loss still hurts I’m grateful I was able to witness and feel the roller coaster of emotions in what may well be the greatest ball game ever played. I’m not apt to see another like this.

Only 5 pitchers in all of history have won 4 World Series games on the road during their careers. Yoshinobu Yamamoto won 3 World Series games on the road in 8 days.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

In my 70+ years of watching baseball I’ve never been as engaged and entertained as this year’s World Series. Baseball broke my heart when Expos moved and last night Bluejay’s loss did it again. I love baseball.

yep, this is the baseball place now

Two Hall of Famers, Scherzer and Ohtani, on the mound for the seventh game tonight. The last Series to go to a seventh game was Nats-Astros in 2019. And the Nats’ starting pitcher in Game Seven was…Max Scherzer. He went five, left trailing 2-0, but Nats went on to win the game and the series.

Highest Career MLB Postseason OPS Ever (90+ plate appearances): Lou Gehrig, 1.214 Babe Ruth, 1.214 Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 1.109

Brilliant!

Dodger fans were awfully quiet last night.

Serious question America. How can it be that you announce a framework for a trade agreement has been reached with China yet you terminate trade talks with Canada your neighbour and closest ally? Please explain this to me.

Jays fans will recall that both the ‘92 and the ‘93 World Series wins were also tied at 1-1 after game two.

Although I’m hugely disappointed the Jays lost game 2 what a treat to see Yamamoto pitch the entire game.

YOU READY SHOHEI??????????????

A beautiful #Roman glass bowl, with striped bands in blue, yellow, & clear/white glass. It was made about 2000 years ago, & was found in the area around Mount Vesuvius, after being buried in the AD 79 eruption 🏺 #AncientBlueSky #Archaeology

Max Scherzer will not go willingly.

A MOMENT IN BLUE JAYS HISTORY. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the first Blue Jays player ever to hit a postseason grand slam! 🔥

Shohei Ohtani has hit 231 home runs in the last 5 years and struck out a total of 604 batters while doing it. 😮 Babe Ruth never once struck out more than 3 batters in a season that he hit 30+ homers. Seriously. Stop saying "since Babe Ruth". Shohei is one of a kind.

I usually try to stay away from the political discussions but the Jimmy Kimmel debacle compels me to remind Disney that while reinstatement is welcome the fact that you caved and suspended him in the first place will not soon be forgotten. My personal boycott of all things Disney continues.

Another reason Brendan Carr is censoring free speech..

I have never enjoyed an MLB team more than this year’s Toronto Blue Jays team. At a time where domestic and world news hammers you down daily, they have provided me and my family with endless optimism and spirit. It doesn’t matter in the big picture but then again, it’s also everything.

Happy birthday the greatest story ever told. Somewhere there is a video of me reading this out loud and I am literally crying with laughter as I struggle through it. nypost.com/2019/09/13/m...

My bucket list still includes canal boating in the UK.
