Scream scared the shit out of me as a kid. I have never gone back and actually watched them.

It was so weird watching the Jays as the home team at Nats park last night. They even played OK Blue Jays in the 7th inning.

Nate Pearson debuted for the Jays tonight. He's looking good right now. Matching Scherzer through 4.2 innings.

Also, re: Trump throwing out the first pitch. Apparently he was invited, they just hadn't set a date.

At least we know the Red Sox aren't cheating this year. How else do you lose 2 games to the Orioles. Feel free to reference this later this year when the Jays get swept by the Orioles or something.

I loved Regis. Watching Regis and Kathy Lee (and then Kelly) in the summer with my mom feels like such a vivid childhood memory. Regis has the same birthday as me, too, so I felt this weird adoration towards him.

The Jays bullpen is gonna give me a heart attack this year. The starters should be fine but there is seriously no one you can bridge to get to Giles, who now may be on the IL. He left yesteday's game with elbow soreness.

Am I missing something. There's only been 1 Champion of Champions, right? Also, I won't be happy until this show has gone 25 seasons, we get 5 Champion of Champions and then we get a Champion of Champion of Champions.

Hendricks looked so good yesterday. Excited to see how Darvish looks today.

Gonna put Nelson Cruz and Shohei Ohtani (batter) on the trade block if anybody is interested in either. It's annoying to have two Utility-only players.

Apparently Orioles have given Jays permission to play at Camden Yards. Now they just need permission from Maryland.

How did they not make sure they could get same day test results. FFS.

That mostly just sucks due to not being able to have a place to call home. Changing hotels that often would suck and would make it quite hard on team. I'd honestly prefer Buffalo.

This season is gonna be a mess but hey... OPENING DAY IS TOMORROW! Did they say what they're gonna do on the 7 days where they both play home games?

I have never been a DM but would be so down to try. I could ask my friend to help me find a quick and easy campaign if people would be down?

I had no idea Jordan Hicks had type 1 diabetes. Add him to the list of my favourite players for that very reason.

@Maxx Mike Leake, RHP, Diamondbacks Ryan Zimmerman, 1B, Nationals Joe Ross, RHP, Nationals Ian Desmond, OF, Rockies David Price, LHP, Dodgers Tyson Ross, RHP, Giants Felix Hernandez, RHP, Braves Nick Markakis, OF, Braves Buster Posey, C, Giants Michael Kopech, RHP, White Sox Jordan Hicks, RHP, Cardinals https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/mlb/news/mlb-players-opting-out-2020-season/1tvir4y99jak41n0rf0sgjky33

The last little while has just been brutal. This is extremely sad. Grant was my favourite of the non-leads of Mythbusters. He genuinely seemed lovely.

Why did you list Avisail Garcia?

Am I missing something with this?

That would be a great name for a Ninja Turtles Movie where they all come out as gay. Actually, hang on. I'm gonna write a children's book with that premise.

Interesting stuff in Jays camp as Rowdy has been hitting bombs but they've announced Vlad will play DH/1B. Presumably the other would DH most of the time, but it would limit their ability to use the DH as a resting spot, especially with a condensed season.

Went back-to-back with the Blue Jays. Most of the core returned, except for Travis Shaw who left in free agency. That set the stage for Rowdy to either make it or for Vlad to move to 1st. Rowdy ended up having a monster year, especially in the first half. Biggio also really broke out. We had Trent Thornton in the rotation to start the season, but I traded for Jack Flaherty (in his last year before free agency) and traded Thornton to Cleveland. Our roster for most of the season was: DH - Teoscar Hernandez C - Danny Jansen/Reese McGuire (platoon) 1B - Rowdy Tellez 2B - Cavan Biggio SS - Bo Bichette LF - Lourdes Gurriel Jr. CF - Victor Reyes RF - Brandon Nimmo Bench - Greg Allen, Mitch Walding, Nathan Aldridge (2020 draft pick), Miguel Rojas Greg Allen and Mitch Walding played pivotal roles down the stretch when Gurriel got injured as they subbed in at left or third, depending on the platoon. Vlad or Teo would either DH then. Rotation - Jameson Taillon, Jack Flaherty, Hyu-Jin Ryu, Ryan Borucki, Nate Pearson Bullpen - Jose Leclerc, John Brebbia, Ryan Pressley (traded for in the Thornton trade), Dan Winkler (picked up on waivers from Cubs as he was having a dreadful season), Tim Mayza, AJ Minter and Joe Ross We swept the Red Sox, who beat the Rays in the Wild Card game. Next, we paired up against the Astros. We took Games 1, 3 & 4 before finishing it off in Game 6. A World Series re-match was set up as we played the Braves once again. The Braves roster is quite stacked. Ozzie Albies, Ronald Acuna Jr., Freddie Freeman, Francisco Lindor, Adalberto Mondesi, Marcel Ozuna and Eduardo Escobar fill out their line-up and they ahd a deep bench with Swanson, Duvall, Posey and Flores. Mike Soroka and Folty make up a nice 1-2 punch and they round out their rotation nicely with Fried, NEwcomb and Daniel Norris. The Braves took the first two games as Flaherty and Ryu were both beat up pretty bad. Taillon had a good Game 3 and the offence came to life in Game 4 (scored 11 runs). The Braves took Game 5 after scoring 5 runs in the 6th after both Winkler and Mayza struggled. However, Flaherty threw 8 shutout innings before Leclerc saved the game in Game 6 to set up a Game 7. While Taillon gave up 3 runs in the first, we battled back and tied it up in the 2nd inning. Taiilon settled and made it through six before Brebbia, Pressley and Leclerc finished the game. In the 4th, Vlad hit a solo shot. In the 5th inning, a struggling Rowdy came up big with a 2-run homer. Teoscar hit his 1st homer of the post-season in the 8th inning to put us by 4 runs. The Jays win their 4th World Series Championship in front of their home fans. Somehow, Greg Allen was named World Series MVP with Brandon Nimmo being named Post Season MVP.

Hey, I was on a podcast! Rob and Akiva Get Dragged Each week, the hosts take ideas, put them on a wheel and then spin it to see what they podcast about the next week. I pitched an idea where the two hosts would compete in challenges to learn about drag. I got to host!

Yeah, this one makes no sense but the rest all do, so whatever. The Jays have a couple of fun storylines with the Braves (beat them for their first World Series and Anthopolous is their GM).
