Murray-USA TODAY Sports This season a whole lot of digital ink has been spilled in this corner of the internet — and possibly even more words on a certain podcast (which will totally have a fresh episode up at some point today, just as soon as I can get to a better spot for editing!)…
Photo credit: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports Ten years ago, I fell in love with a person who doesn’t really like baseball. Of all the possible problematic relationship dynamics, I know that this one doesn’t even crack the top one hundred. In terms of compatibility, I’m certainly one of the lucky ones. Having said all that,…
Image, as always, by the great @JAHappster Alright, Baltimore. You want to try this again? Because I could go for a repeat of what happened last night seven days a week and twice on Sundays, know what I mean? Maybe have some of your fans show up to this one! And, y’know, there were a…
If Yasiel Puig was left-handed and Canadian, he’d probably get as much ink in these parts as Joey Votto does. OK, maybe not *quite* that much. Because, in addition to being a right-handed hitting Cuban, Puig is… well… Puig. A prodigious talent badly dried up and exiled from L.A., still under contract for two full…
Photo credit: Kevin Sousa-USA TODAY Sports Yeah, so maybe “shows off” is a stretch, since he’s kinda just sitting there. And, y’know, maybe it’s one of those cookie cutter condos, and maybe there are no outstanding shots of him eating a chicken dog outside the Rogers Centre, and maaaaaaybe he thought Canada was going to be…
A deep-ish dig into the numbers and performances and whatever else that was fun from the past weekend of Toronto Blue Jays baseball (probably), brought to you by Draft Kings — get your Daily Fantasy Sports on at Draft Kings! Well we’re really in the thick of it now, aren’t we? The Blue Jays, per a tweet…
Photo credit: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports It is one of the tedious mantras of baseball. A player is stuck in a slump for two months, and when a reporter asks him what’s going on, he says: “It’s just baseball, man. When the season ends, my numbers will be where they always have been.” Sometimes that’s…

Embed from Getty Images Yesterday afternoon was a signature game for both teams. It was one of those holy shit this team is going to win the goddamn World Series ones for the Jays who rallied back from multiple deficits and eventually scored the winning run on an inside-the-park home run. For the Twins, though,…
Embed from Getty Images Last night, the Minnesota Twins crept into Rogers Centre for the first time since last August where they were kicked in the head so hard that not only was their season guttered, but they fell into oblivion the following year too. Remember that? The Twins were in a playoff spot last August before the…
Embed from Getty Images Dioner Navarro is a Blue Jay again, which could make for an intriguing bit of roster shuffling come Monday. That’s the day Navarro is expected to join the Blue Jays after they acquired the popular backup catcher from the White Sox in a Friday trade for a minor-league pitcher.
