Super classy. I can’t say that I am a fan of the Dodgers, but it’s hard for me to dislike them or their fans. Did you see this, @mollyknight.bsky.social ? #BlueJays #Dodgers

I can’t believe how down I feel today after that #BlueJays loss. Just a sense of something feeling off the whole day. I have never been so invested in a team. I feel so much disappointment for the guys that gave us so much on the field this year.

Jeff Hoffman said he cost the #BlueJays the World Series. He was great throughout the playoffs; we wouldn’t have been there without him. One bad pitch wasn’t everything. No single player should bear that burden. 3 for 17 with RiSP ain’t great. Every guy on this team can hold their head up high.

Thanks for all you’ve done this year @wilnerness.bsky.social , @keeganmatheson.bsky.social , @snblair.bsky.social , and Kevin Barker in telling the story of this joyful team. You were all great. It’s a tough loss to stomach, but it was a great season. Looking forward to next year already. #BlueJays

Trey had a such a great game tonight. What a performance. The #BlueJays played great baseball in LA. Bring it home, boys! Let it not be lost that another guy had a great game. Alan Porter was solid behind the plate. After the last two games of awful umpiring, Porter was excellent.

Masterpiece

I remember watching the Sprague homer in ‘92 and, even bigger, the Carter walk-off in ‘93. I remember the Bautista bat flip and Encarnacion walking it off with the parrot. Definitely gonna’ remember the Springer dinger. 2025 is quite a year. The long wait is over! Let’s go, #BlueJays! #FourMore

I have hope that the #BlueJays can go into Seattle and sort things out. They’re resilient and played well there this year. Bo missing is hurting, and our pitching has been pretty rough, save Gausman. In 2015, we lost two at home to Texas before taking the games in Texas and then came the bat flip.

Great game from the #BlueJays after a rough one yesterday. Can’t wait for our first ALCS in nearly a decade. Great work managing that lineup with our bullpen. Everyone did their job. Let’s go, Blue Jays!!!

Why does #MLB bracket the playoffs so that the number one seed could play a team with a better record than the team the number two seed plays in the DS? Why not set the DS based on the results of both of the WC series? Is it just so travel is known? I always wondered but never sought out an answer.

It was a tense week, but it is a great time to be a #BlueJays fan! Enjoy it everyone. Congrats to a great team that has been (mostly) a joy to watch this season.

Listen, it hasn’t been pretty the past week or so, but even after tonight, the #BlueJays are still the best team (by record—likely tied) in the American League.

All right, #BlueJays, celebrate, and then let’s wrap this up before next weekend!

This game is highlighting why MLB games shouldn’t be played in MiLB parks. #BlueJays

Solid game, boys! #BlueJays

I passed my dissertation defence today! Almost done!

Maybe #BlueJays fans should pump the brakes on complaining about Hoffman and Schneider. The latter is going to be a finalist (and probably the winner) for Manager of the Year. The former has blown 7 saves. Some of the best in the game aren’t far off that mark. Closers blow saves. That’s baseball.

This game has become a joke. #BlueJays Take the game seriously.

A position player pitching against the #BlueJays… in the 7th!?! #MLB should find a way to punish teams for disrespecting the game. I like @snblair.bsky.social’s idea of losing a reliever for the next game. I am a big Tellez fan, and I respect Bruce Bochy, but come on…

The #BlueJays improved in places they had to improve while not mortgaging the future. It would be nice to have a guy like Miller, but we didn’t have what was necessary to get that done. You do what you can to get better, and it seems to me that the Jays have done that.

Best team in the AL (tied)! Good stuff, #BlueJays!

I can’t believe how bad the Yankees’ defence is. Feels like they make an error every inning. Was like this the last time they were in Toronto, too. Go #BlueJays!

Boooo Paramount made me take these off Et$y but they can still be yours!!!! Who wants a Lower Decker on their head? (I'm beyond broke at the moment so an order would help me out enormously 🙏) #StarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #crochet #cosplay

When @reckless.bsky.social says they think they are building Digital God, I always took it as somewhat facetious. No. It appears that they really do think that’s what they’re doing.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Hey, @wilnerness.bsky.social. Thanks for answering my question on today’s episode of Deep Left Field. I can’t believe I missed Varsho! The #BlueJays had a rough one today, but they have been great lately, and with all those guys coming back, things are looking good for the playoffs this year.

Been looking forward to this one, @karenhao.bsky.social !

Saw others sharing this news on my feed… Makes it that much easier to let the Prime subscription lapse. They had the Expanse, too, and didn’t take that all the way through. They also pulled the trigger quickly on The Peripheral. Too bad. At least there was some good TV along the way. #WheelofTime

Banks is certainly on my Mount Rushmore of SF authors. If some of the people trying to create these worlds took any time to actually analyze the books, they would realize how far off the mark their approaches have been.

We are HIRING for a sharp talented weekend editor, a gig that amounts to playing around with our giant website almost totally unsupervised job-boards.greenhouse.io/voxmedia/job...

Name a show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

This show deserves Season 4 because the whole team behind the camera and in front of it have given us nothing but excellent work. Season 3 took the show to a different level (it was already great), so it would be a shame if we didn’t get more of this team’s amazing work. #renewwot #wheeloftime

Are we going to have to start a #BookSky thread of favorite Canadian authors?! 📚💙

I love the #CBC, but can we please stop discussing a change in party representation in ridings with 1 of 270+ polls reporting?

Anyone else constantly checking the Web to see if #wheeloftime has been greenlit for Season 4?

I feel seen…

I just saw Kevin O’Leary on CNN claiming that unions are the primary reason for poor reading and math scores in U.S. schools. It must be nice to be able to state something so simplistic and unsupported by facts while knowing that there will continue to be people who consider you a serious person.

baseball season is upon us and with longer videos i can finally post one of my favorite videos of the last couple years

Disappointed Vladdy hasn’t been extended, but I’m still hopeful of him being a part of the #bluejays long term. He loves being here, and we love having him. The problem is that putting a valuation on him is tricky. Free agency will clear that up, and, hopefully, he will spend his career in Toronto.

I wrote about why it's not bad for catching last fall during the World Series: www.mlb.com/news/why-the...

Got my copy and loving it, @theverge.com ! Really liked @reckless.bsky.social ‘s editor’s note, too. Great stuff!

It really is about making things more fun for the average person. The hardcore baseball fans get that average isn’t everything, but even knowing that, I would still rather watch hits than strikeouts, and I assume the average sports fan would, too.

Proud to be Canadian today.

Excellent, as always, from @kylierobison.com of @theverge.com. #ai #tech #compsky “But like many sci-fi stories, the most interesting question isn’t whether the technology works — it’s what happens when human ambition collides with physical reality.” www.theverge.com/openai/60395...

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Finally… #bluejays

Just finished @richardchizmar.bsky.social’s Memorials. It’s a creepy, perfectly paced book. In it, we take a road trip with three college students in the early ‘80s who are making a video documentary about roadside memorials in the Appalachian backwoods. Eeriness ensues. Highly recommend! #booksky
