oh Jack Hughes is like SOFT soft

October 1: This season will be a celebration, a farewell to our beloved Calgary arena, its moments and memories October 2: we need to burn down the Saddledome #Calgary #Flames #Saddledome

000

The #31 team in the NHL, my beloved Calgary Flames, are getting *obliterated* by the #30 team, the Seattle Kraken, 5-0 at the Saddledome. My entire winter TV schedule appears to be freeing up. Time to catch up on my watchlist while I wait for Scotia Place and 2027-28... #Flames #NHL #OhNoWeBad

Played my first curling game of the season, and it was against the reigning Provincial Women's Champions. We lost 10-1 and honestly? Pretty happy with that.

Team Hailey Armstrong posing as they receive the Provincial Championship trophy including a trip to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. They are young, talented, and full of hope. They are ready to obliterate you on the ice.

"I just don't like Aaron Nola starting this game. I would have gone with Zack Wheeler... Something tells me this is like a 3-run first, 3 home run first inning for Aaron Nola, I don't know why. Not feeling good." -- Frank Seravalli on the FAN Pregame show today #Phillies #Braves #Postseason

We had a good run, Blue Jays friends! #BlueJays

Blue Jays have burned through all their arms this season and it's really caught up with them now. Not looking good. #BlueJays

Because of the final score, the incredible Kaz Okamoto home run will now sadly be forgotten, much like a certain all-time legendary franchise home run by B* B******* that we have all collectively erased from our memory. #BlueJays

Detroit Tigers look like a really good ball club. Imagine if they had an ace, like say Tarik Skubal, on this roster. #Tigers #BlueJays

120

Blue Jays lose to the very good Detroit Tigers, who move to a +71 Run differential, third place in the American League (behind the Yankees and Red Sox). Detroit's expected win total moves to 83, but their actual win total is 71. They should be winning the Central, but they won't. #BlueJays

000

Vlad looks at the two strikes and swings at the two balls. Oops. #BlueJays

120

Jansen's cutter isn't cutting 🤔 He's blaming the mound. The grounds crew are coming in. The fans are unhappy. 9th inning drama. #BlueJays

Okay Blue Jays time for a hero. If they get a couple base runners, Kaz will get an at-bat. #BlueJays

Theory: Every Blue Jays lefty reliever since 2019 is just Aaron Loup in disguise #BlueJays

Bit of a large home run there from Kaz. #BlueJays

George Springer just put down the hammer. A bases-clearing double hit 101 MPH spots the Jays a 7-run lead in the 8th. Hiraldo surrenders 4 Earned Runs in 1.2 IP, the Jays seemingly running the Orioles out of good relievers after 3 games. #BlueJays #Orioles

Craig Albernaz lets Yaramil Hiraldo throw 49 pitches in 1.2 IP, concluding with a bases-loaded walk to Bateman. Jays take a 4-run lead and this may save Louis Varland an outing. #BlueJays #Orioles

000

FIRST home run by Springer to right field FIRST home run by Vlad at Rogers Centre FIRST back-to-back-to-back Home Runs by the Jays All season firsts happen in the fifth inning today. #BlueJays

GEORGE VLAD KAZ BLUE JAYS GO BACK TO BACK TO BACK #BLUEJAYS

Vlad Guerrero Jr. doubles DEEP to Center Field, as fans and teammates tried to will the ball over the fence. He remains two home runs shy of tying Brett Bateman at the Rogers Centre this season. #BlueJays

000

Home Plate Umpire Scott Barry really called pitch 1 a ball here. It needed to be challenged by Basallo. Even the batter Bateman was confused. #BlueJays

MLB GameDay screenshot from Blue Jays vs. Orioles on Sept. 13, 2026. Brett Bateman is facing Trevor Rogers. Pitch 1 is comfortably and entirely within the strike zone. Home Plate Umpire Scott Barry inexplicably calls it a Ball, until an ABS challenge easily overturns the call.

000

Very odd to see Straw not challenge the first strike. Brutal call by Scott Barry en route to a 3 pitch out. #BlueJays

Screenshot from MLB GameDay, Blue Jays vs Orioles, Sept. 13 2026. It's Myles Straw's at bat in the second inning. The first pitch is multiple inches above the strike zone, it's called a strike by the Umpire, and there is no challenge from the batter.

Jays strike first on a good single, a botched hit and run, and the bloopiest of bloop hits. We'll take it! #BlueJays

After 3 -- let's call them -- warmup batters, Dylan Cease strikes out the side, achieving a Houdini in the first inning. #BlueJays

030

attention all sports gamblers, MLB.com gives Max Scherzer a 65.6% chance of getting a hit today #BlueJays #BeatTheStreak #MLB

Screenshot from the actual MLB.com Story on the Sept. 13 2026 Blue Jays game. In the "Beat the Streak" page, they list the three players with the top hit probabilities (to collect a base hit today). They are: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Alejandro Kirk, and Max Scherzer.

001

The Blue Jays look elite when they get an early lead; the bullpen can shut it down. Great showing by the bats and today the Jays make it look (mostly) easy. #BlueJays

Kazuma Okamoto commits 2 errors on a single play, just five days after doing the *exact same thing* in Sacramento. #BlueJays

Scoring update from the Sept. 7, 2026 Blue Jays game. Zach Gelof scores ona. caught stealing error by third basement Kazuma Okamoto, assist to catcher Alejandro Kirk to second baseman Ernie Clement. Throwing error by third baseman Kazuma Okamoto. TOR 0, ATH 2.
