It’s Shapiro speaks season, which means I spent quite a bit of time transcribing close to 1,500 Mark Shapiro words from his recent interview with the dynamic duo of Stephen Brunt and Jeff Blair. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I am going to give you the juicy-ish bits, or just pretty much everything…
Slick speaking Scotty Boras addressed the media Wednesday and spewed some things that he needed to get off his moneyed chest. I’m guessing it’s probably because he has been experiencing some financial discomfort lately (I’m being sarcastic – sort of). It’s here we go dollar dollar bill time, and Scotty needs to make the cash-rules-everything-around…
It’s that time of the year when many of us stare into our crystal balls, which usually lead to nowhere land, as we try to guess what the Toronto FO will do this offseason.
I was at a local watering hole when news broke that the Jays tossed Brook Jacoby and Tim Leiper into the can, AND it’s not exactly shocking stuff. Now, some of you are probably out and about doing your weekend things and have already seen the news on your smart-whatevers. Rumours started to circulate around…
It’s kind of crazy how fast this whole time thing carries us on its conveyer belt to wherever we’re all going. The baseball season is officially over and it’s November already. Soon Torontonians will be trading in their Pumpkin Spiced Lattes for Gingerbread Chocolate Mochas. Joy to the world. It’s only a matter of time…
I was in Playa del Carmen for the past couple of weeks, and I just recently arrived back in Toronto. My girlfriend and I were staying in the Hotel Riu Palace Mexico. It was a bit of a hoity-toity place that exceeded our budget, but life is too short for budgets anyway. Most of the guests…
So I’ve been away for the past couple of weeks in Playa del Carmen doing the whole try not to get burnt by the blazing sun thing by pouring a shit ton of sunscreen all over me, which is something Rosie DiManno might need after Charlie Montoyo burnt her after she asked him this ‘hardball’…
The Starbucks coffee cups were piled high in a room. The white and green cardboard and plastic that stretched across the office floor stood still in a shadow. A single light on the desk dimly lit the 10’ by 15’ square foot space. The green two-tailed mermaid on each cup smiled and watched as two…
Happy Thanksgiving all you hoser turkeys, eh! I know that many of you are out and about doing your out and about things, but I figured I should type up this quick Thanksgiving piece before I do my out and about hoser things. I think that it’s important for all of us to reflect on…
The 2018 American League brackets are set and, ah, some Jays fans don’t know who to cheer for, or aren’t going to cheer for any remaining AL teams. And our friend Minor Leaguer is one of those fans.
The December fringe is going to be a real tricky thing for Ross Atkins to figure out this offseason. And it’s not a terrible position to be in because the Jays have a lot of prospect-y depth in their system and that’s a damn good thing.
I was walking around Kensington Market today and I passed Exile, a staple vintage clothing store, where the employees were already setting their Halloween displays up. And it hit me, in that moment, that September is in its final days, which means that October’s rent is only a few days away.
