I believe the technical term for this is extortion

One for the ages 😱

Luckily they could never do this to the Epstein files, say

I don't think the Big O will be ready for the start of the baseball season, guys

Un magnifique résumé de ce que ces séries au baseball ont pu représenter pour nous, anciens fans de Expos

Such a great read. It made me feel sad, joyful and grateful for what we had with nos Zamours. And like you, I think I would have started to chain-smoke again after nearly 25 years if this would have involved the Expos 😂

Last week, for the first time since we lost the Expos, I really felt moved by baseball. Take a moment to read Dave's essay on what it was like to be there, and stick to the end for the most amazing story about how Amy was such a Mensch!

In case you missed it, my latest for @therovermedia.bsky.social:

One week ago tonight, My sister and I went to Game 7 of the World Series. Here's my essay for @therovermedia.bsky.social on a night I won't soon forget: therover.ca/live-from-th... @amykmtl.bsky.social

First piece about the game I've read. I've avoided highlights since leaving the stadium last week (not easy!). Thanks for a beautiful recap, and to you and your sister for being good humans. Ironically, I'm reading this from Montreal, where I first started watching baseball as a kid at the Big O.

I posted me from a different era earlier:

Stories are everywhere in life. Baseball IS a storied game that invites MORE stories. Here's a good one from @davekaufman.bsky.social Live from the Fall Classic: Game 7 with The Rover therover.ca/live-from-th...

Laughed at the “closed” bathrooms and cried at the kindness shown to a visiting fan. Thanks for taking us along to the game, @davekaufman.bsky.social. I’m so glad you and @amykmtl.bsky.social got to be there.

Hey Kevin, don't stand near a window

"The Toronto Blue Jays were two outs away from winning the World Series. Miguel Rojas, the least threatening batter on the Dodgers, was at the plate."

I have an essay on Game 7 of the World Series coming out on @therovermedia.bsky.social a little later today.

My very good friend Alan Morton passed away today. He turned 57 last week. We bonded over The Hip and he taught me more about golf than anyone, taking me under his wing as his competition partner at our club. He loved life so much. Was a great dad to his kids. A loving husband. This is so unfair. 💔

It ain’t me, babe (go Zohran, go!!)

the ADL is launching a "Mamdani Monitor." Beyond absurd. It couldn't get more hateful and Islamophobic if it tried, and no it will not make Jews or anybody else safer

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

Symbole très parlant de notre société dopée à la voiture. Le Orange Julep perdu à travers une mer de chars. Pour paraphraser Foglia- et pour faire image -, au Québec, on préfère la route à la destination.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”

Slashing immigration by 50 per cent for temporary residents. Holy fuck
