Jason Bryden’s fab web series Kensington Diner is an instant classic, and a beautiful love letter to Toronto. Just look at my majestic pal Amy Matysio on that big Paradise Theatre screen! She killed it! Excellent night out in support of the WEP, @davebidini.bsky.social.

My story about Game 7. Thanks to @thestar.com for asking me to write about the summer game this postseason www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

Lord

Congrats to the Dodgers. They clawed back and hit the big flies when they had to. Rojas, man. Also congrats to the Jays and the power of friendship. It meant a lot.

May the odds be ever in your favor

My first game of the post season tonight. Are Game 7s very interesting?

people talk about Toronto being a cold unfriendly city and I dare them to walk around my neighbourhood on Halloween and come to that conclusion. There are people hanging out EVERYWHERE. On the patio, chatting with neighbours. One house had dog treats because they know there's lots of dogs round here

For terrifying Halloween I’m going as 3-1.

MNF giving the Jays zero recognition there

Read a newspaper, folks

I like it, too. This cover by the Chicago Gay Hockey League is completely delightful. youtu.be/L64ABFtgekc?...

America is psychotic.

Does anyone else not quite believe tonight is happening? Game 5 and tied series vs Dodgers. Surreal. Beautiful. Surreal.

Canada will remember.

That’s simply an exceptional clutch win. Jays ‘25 are a special bunch with glorious chemistry and a roster that weaves perfectly together. How they found the reserve to pull this off vs Shohei is astonishing.

That’s a huge inning for a team after the exhaustion and heartbreak of last night. Jays = guts. And LA pen how we assumed they’d be.

Like Dorothy Parker said, “heterosexuality isn’t normal, it’s just common.”

Sure, they've got Ohtani and Freeman But we've got Fisher and Little ... Let's see how the bottom of the 11th goes, friends #BlueJays #WorldSeries #WantItAll

U take the bat away from Vlad but u gotta do that no?

Well, he’s mortal

Admire the risk by IKF but Sasaki flagging and you maybe just leave hitters to move guys along

Score 5

It's time to give Ohtani the Barry Bonds treatment. He cannot be beaten, only survived. Wow. #BlueJays

Puke nervous

It happened!

Not sure where @npr.org are getting their info. Happy to refer you to: www.westendphoenix.com/stories/onta...

They live to come back.

Listening to this instead, the only anthem I recognize pre-Jays game.

This was the Letterman Top Ten list on October 25, 1993: "Top Ten Reasons Canada Keeps Beating Us In The World Series"

can someone explain to me why toronto is even allowed to play in the world series? since when is canada in the world

I love the way Bidini writes. Awesome story. I could picture it in the same way that Dave and his wife could picture the game as described over the radio. GO JAYS!!

@davebidini.bsky.social has an all-time belter full of saudade. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

My story about last night www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Well. Fuck yeah Canada!!

“As reported by PressProgress, Canada Proud has close ties to Pierre Poilievre and a record of presenting false and misleading partisan content. A report by the CBC revealed that Poilievre had hired the team behind Canada Proud to boost his messages online.”
