John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Sure, obviously being affiliated with a party is better - but I'm not sure it's any parties responsibility to make a candidate - I'd rather viable candidates find parties that match their own vision but 🤷♂️ 000
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I don't particularly agree with that take but understand it; if voters in that riding want better they can have better and it's not any party that can dictate what voters demand 200
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I suppose, any person living in PRN that is frustrated could opt to run themselves? 🤷♂️ it's sad that there isn't interest by all parties to run, but is that a failure of the parties or a failure of the community to not demand better? 100
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The Habs Saturday night broadcast is a Penguins feed? this is a national travesty 000
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026"He's like the "Louis Varland" of the San Diego Padres, he's THAT GOOD" 060
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Announcer saying "that's gotta be a fine" is perhaps a bit out of touch - a fine for what? Making a viral moment for an otherwise meaningless preseason exhibition game? 000
Reposted by JohnKeegan Matheson @keeganmatheson.bsky.social · 13/09/2026He's done it. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., in the 150th game of the season, has his 1st home run at Rogers Centre. He watched every second of it before he took a step. #BlueJays 1331258
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The Toronto Blue Jays are 6-17 for games on Sunday this year; if they were .500 on those games they'd have 80 wins and be battling for 2nd wildcard spot 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Maybe Carney should rename Super, Huron and Erie - Release, Epstein and Files 😆 080
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's actually not really a wild dichotomy considering the concept of the three true outcomes hitters; batters like Okamoto aren't particularly unique or rare. Kyle Schwarber is the most obvious currently example; but there has been tons written about batters that either homer or strikeout 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I'm sure the White Sox will eventually be fighting for it too; there a non zero chance the Jays will finish with more wins than the central and the west champs which is insane 030
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I think more likely that every single game has guys like this which is both lame and fine but only in a minor league ball park with no fans does it get picked up on the mic; can't really blame the drunk loser for most of that 011
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Something like a minor league park to make a team play like minor leaguers 001
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I was really hoping we would get Dobnak's expected era type performance and not his era-type performance 000
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Imagine if Santander came back and provided the power bat that the Jays need, all the sudden unlocking Vladdy for a bash brothers September! 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I know a few people that have opened medical clinics (in Victoria) and don't think it was particularly challenging; I am skeptical when candidates suggested specially making it easier to open a clinic but don't site anything specific, and doesn't sound like the opinion came from practitioners 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026And I think this is the pedant in me; but when things like business license get lumped under permitting - It muddies the waters what is being talked about. When I think of permitting as a delay, I generally think of zoning changes and building permits. 110
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Sure for brand new builds; but zoning that is specific to a clinic? I get that there isn't a lot of commercial retail in view royal; but most clinics aren't building brand new spaces they are occupying commercial retail office space. 110
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Perhaps I'm ignorant but what permits are required for a clinic to operate in view royal? 100
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Which would probably result in them making the post-season which would be icing on the cake 🎂 020
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I don't really care if the Blue Jays make the playoffs this season; but I'd really like them to play competitive games and finish the season over .500 130
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Have you ever considered going on the podcast @stoppodcasting.bsky.social ? 000
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 28/08/2026A significantly more beautiful colour than that of a Cheeto 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 28/08/2026That's why they say; if you're a bad driver you should maybe call ACAB 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 28/08/2026This meme only half makes sense but feels like the logical progression will be for someone to pitch this idea 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Not the first time this company made bad decisions; cheknews.ca/bc-labour-bo...cheknews.caBC Labour Board agrees Cascadia Liquor illegally replaced workers during strike: UnionThe BC Labour Board has determined that Cascadia Liquor illegally replaced workers while union members are on strike at three locations, according to SEIU Local 2. 021
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I agree that social isolation/teen peer pressure is not the best reason to justify a phone - but this is uncharted territory and parents have a lot of anxiety and uncertainty with how to navigate this. There is no "right" answer 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I assume the WhatsApp conversation is suggesting some unrealistic and naive ages - but it seems there is over 10 year gap between some parents for what is the "right age" 100
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I get how this is a difficult thing to consider and phones on themselves are not a boogeyman - but what is the appropriate age in your opinion? 200
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It's embarrassing how much of my mental health would benefit from Vladdy hitting a homerun at Rogers Centre 001
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Alejandro Kirk challenged the 4th pitch which was a ball but didn't challenge the second pitch which is clearly a strike. Lucky Perez swung and missed three pitches that were balls 000
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Which isn't to say it doesn't matter at all, but isn't nearly as significant as people expect it to be - and even with all his struggles Vlads OBP is third best of all regulars (and that's including Bateman) 000
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Fans should probably understand that batting order doesn't matter as much as people think it does www.dugoutedge.com/articles/bat...dugoutedge.comStruggling to Set Your Batting Order? What MLB Stats Actually SayEvery coach freezes staring at a roster sheet. The data gives a clear framework: OBP at the top, best hitter second, weakest bats at the bottom. Here is why it works. 120

John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 26/08/2026My one and only point was that they could use a guy with an ops over 900 and is hitting lots of homers. My other point was just pushing back against your contract point that is (imo) irrelevant, cheers bsky.app/profile/john... 010
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 26/08/2026But that budget is kind of silly if being the 6th highest payroll makes you less good than being the 5th highest payroll or whatever. I get that they imposed this (appearing arbitrary) budget, but they didn't need to do that 100
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 26/08/2026At the end of the year they don't give the championship to the team with the most efficient contracts; they give it to the best team - and Devers would make the Red Sox better. 100
John @johnquissy.bsky.social · 26/08/2026But why not? Neither player was acquired using pieces acquired through the Devers trade. Their team would be better with all three and there is absolutely zero reason they couldn't have all 3 🤷♂️ 110
