This One Heinous Act Deprived Hours of Sleep for Tens of Millions of People
I mean what was the home plate umpire doing here last night, come on… I mean look at where pitch #5 is, actually higher than the pitch right before it…which was called a ball! Sure yes, it eventually resulted in a walk anyway, but calling that pitch correctly means Bichette is safe at second and
Stone Buddha, The Final Boss
This past Sunday, the Toronto Blue Jays announced the signing of Seung-hwan Oh to a major league contract, likely signifying the end of their offseason moves. Reports are that he will be paid $1.75 million for 2018, with $1.5 million in possible incentives, and a $250K buyout for a 2019 option that will vest automatically
The Greatest Of All Time (1977-2017)
Oof. Man…I wasn’t ready for this. But who was? I had expected to get a chance to celebrate when he would visit the SkyDome again and have his named added to the Level of Excellence as the greatest Blue Jay of all time. And then I had expected to get a chance to celebrate when

Today, a professional baseball game was played between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Kansas City Royals. The Jays bashed four bangers out towards an 8-3 win at home. In a game that featured the grizzled veteran Dickey outperforming the trio of Young, Wang, Pounders. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Game Of Inches, Or Less
This is not a Blue Jays blog, this is all just a coincidence. But man it’s fun to cram all these wacky graphics into a post, so on it goes! Playoff baseball is really just normal baseball concentrated. Baseball concentrate. You add some cold weather, filter out the crappier teams, distill a 162 game season
Holy Fucking Shit
No exaggeration, that was that craziest baseball game I’ve ever seen in my life. Maybe the best as well…I mean hard to say for sure now while I’m caught up in the insane emotional high of a postseason series victory, I’ve seen so many games over the years…but definitely the craziest. Let’s recap that wacky
Jays’ Dickey Price Too High For Rangers
Inconclusive. And from this angle I’m not even sure he ever left the bag at all. Certainly not clear enough to overturn the safe call made on the field, which is how the replay rule works. The point is…shut up already. This doesn’t tie into the whole silly “Toronto sports teams are cursed!” narrative –
God Is Great
One. One is the magic number now. My early life as a Blue Jays fan is a little hazy, and I can’t exactly nail down exactly when I really got into it. I do remember very clearly that my dad used to watch a lot of Blue Jays games back in the early 90’s when
Blue Jays? More Like…Dis-Mays
So yesterday…or I don’t know, Tuesday (?) the MLB All-Star game was played and had a bunch of players and some stuff happened blah blah blah, and shitty Omar Infante was not actually elected the starting second baseman for the All-Star team and would have thus made a complete mockery of the whole thing, so
