Really telling that a lot of responses from dudes are like “when you do that, it doesn’t always work.” No shit. The goal is to be consistent and keep doing it. If they continue, you gotta up the consequences and say “if you keep talking like that, we aren’t going to hang out” and then follow up.

I’m fully embracing this make believe world and trying to figure out where I would place Elliott Gould, an obvious Columbo.

We are only one day out of ending the Jays season and I already feel a yearning in my heart that simply cannot be replaced by another team. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m cheering AGAINST the Yankees as any moral baseball fan must, but that can’t be all there is. Go, Cubs, I guess?

Max Scherzer going on short rest to catch Verlander's strikeout total -- and nearly damn well doing it -- is some all time inner circle king petty shit, and I mean that in the most complimentary way imaginable. You gotta tip your cap to a true psycho, and Max Scherzer is an all-time baseball psycho.

Stan, a tan and brown Bernese mountain dog/poodle mix,sitting with Ricky, a white and tan chihuahua/yorkie mix. Both are patiently waiting for a treat, Ricky is standing up on his haunches with his tiny paws crossed. They’re cute as heck.

If this ball season taught me anything it’s that if there’s a next season, I should just save up to get quarter-season tickets. I was at the ballpark a lot this year. Got to see Gausman pitch his last game as a Jay, and watching Springer and Scherzer have their moments today was very special.

I have a lot of love for Springer and Scherzer, but I’m starting a prayer circle for my fave, Davis Schneider. Spent most of his season ping-ponging between the Bisons and the Jays. I hope it’s not the last we hear of Pink Pony Club at Rogers Centre!

Justin Verlander: I want a final start and a few retirement celebrations with my family and my teammates wearing silly tshirts of my insta pics then everyone cries Max Scherzer: you will drag my lifeless body off the mound after I’ve bitten the manager & punched the pitching coach

I think the list of the best tv is really bad in terms of comedies. Just wild that Party Down, What We Do In the Shadows and Righteous Gemstones are not on the list, and if I’m honest, I would include Happy Endings.

Man, I dunno. Schneider’s been swinging a hot bat. Might have left him in there even though there wasn’t the matchup.

Guys, I highly recommend having your favourite baseball team mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. It’s like nothing can do anything to me. Who knows? Maybe I’ll touch a spider later.

Look, I don’t wanna suggest that this goes against John Schneider’s thing where he constantly switches guys out for pitching matchups, but when you let guys get at-bats, they will hit. If you pull them after one plate appearance, all their batting averages would be low.

I wish there was a point during a head cold where you could just go “OK, I GET IT!” And it ends. But no. It just moves to a different part of my head. Day 1: Sore throat. Day 2: Coughing. Day 3: Sinus pressure and sneezing. Like, fuck off already!
