The thing I really like about the MLB challenge system is that it makes challenges a measurable skill. You only have two and your batter and catcher’s discipline and choices in using them can impact the game. You have individual and team strategies in using them.

Question for the Hive Mind: We’re going on vacation to Japan soon. (Super excited, should be great fun.) Any recommendations for an e-sim? I’ve never used one before but understand that’s the best way to go. (My phone appears to be capable of adding an e-sim.)

How old is my son? He’s “have a full supper, go watch his brother play flag football for an hour and then come home and have a second even larger supper” years old.

Welp, they made it close In a year where most of the AL sucked but ultimately not the Blue Jays year. They didn’t have the bats to compensate for an entire injured starting rotation and the defense was a step back from previous.

Shockingly difficult trying to find a youth size Blue Jays Okamoto t-shirt. Even on the official website, you can’t get a ‘choose your own jersey name/number’ thing for youth even if you wanted to shell out for the jersey.

They pulled off a few big wins after this, including some bullpen games, and went on a run but this was the breaking point should the Blue Jays not make it. You can only go so long with 2 starters and a wild card. Just ridiculous injuries this year.

Were I the Blue Jays, I would’ve knocked a couple of those runners on base home early in this game to decrease Wheat’s heart rate. It’s as if they’re playing this game without any consideration of me personally.

In 1906, 27-year-old Canadian Peter Lymburger Robertson invented a new screw and screwdriver. Considered far superior to the Philips screw, the Robertson screw is now regarded as one of Canada's greatest inventions. This is the story. 🧵 1/8

Ah, so the White Sox have the season series over the Jays. So if Sox win the Division, then the Blue Jays have to tie the Guardians. If the Guardians with the Division, the Blue Jays have to beat the Sox. The Blue would also need to beat the Rangers or the Astros if they’re in the last WC spot.

It’s kind of amazing that a team with Connor McDavid makes it easy not to pay nearly as much attention to them. I’m not boycotting them. But I’m also drifting. There’s other things I can do in my life. Other teams, other sports.

As a visitor who came to watch a World Cup game, turning the Science World dome into a soccer ball was the single most inspired thing any city did during the World Cup. My 12 and 9yo thought it was the greatest thing. And it really set the scene for both the game and Vancouver being a host city.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

Salary cap ceiling is getting way higher and AAV's we are used to are aren't what they were That said, Makar contract is enormous even under current standard Not only is 20.4M highest AAV of all-time. He is now 2nd highest % (17.9%) of the cap at time of signing Try and guess who is #1 at 20.0%

100 years from now they’re going to change the name back to Lake Ontario to honour the name originally given to it by the local culture who continued to refer to it as such throughout. I believe that will be Woke 25.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

One of the interesting things about baseball is how you can just dig into the couch cushions and pull out a bottom end roster pitcher at any time of the year if you need someone to play a couple innings. It’d be like the Oilers claiming a random Bruin to play 4 shifts in the late second period.
