I promise that I have answered all of these questions sober. I would never answer these questions drunk. I understand that we’re all responsible baseball-thinking adults, so it’s important to take this kind of stuff very serious because baseball is a very serious matter in life. So, let’s get to some of the mail in…

WARNING: THIS IS NOT VLAD CONTENT Before the Internet and social media, there really wasn’t a heck of a lot of content on baseball’s best prospects, never mind everyday highlights. You’d have to go to a magazine shop and seek out some baseball reading material. Any kid who grew up a baseball fan in the…

The good ol’ dirt road is full of twists and effin’ shouts, as all of us hardworking people know. You can walk in the dirt, you can question the dirt, and you can think as you travel down it like a lost Hobo in search of some kind of definitive answer, or next sip of…
Dear Bobby Manfred, On behalf of all Blue Jays fans in Canada, I want to thank you for yesterday’s interactive and fun streaming experience. It was an indelible, Facebook-only moment, and I can’t wait to log in and watch the next Facebook-only Jays game on May 24th against the Angels. I sure hope Shohei Ohtani is…
It’s spring and while there are certainly no signs of it in the air quite yet, baseball is in full swing. It’s pretty clear that attendance has been down across the MLB and MiLB, as the young season pushes on through these February-like days. The players are wearing toques on the bench and the show…
The Clevelander, Mark Shapiro, was at Pitch Talks on Thursday night to take questions from a bunch of hosers on his night off. What a terrible dude, right? The more and more we push forward on the conveyor belt of time – with him as the President and CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays –…
The 2017 Blue Jays’ season was kind of a lot like John Carpenter’s awesome cult classic film ‘The Thing’. The only thing is that the 2017 season was anything but awesome – it was more like this shitty shoulder shrug of what the hell is going on. It was like there was this villainous creature…
So, we have finally arrived at the greatest goddamn day of the year. And who could argue that it’s not – like, seriously. Opening Day is better than birthdays, your kid’s birthday, your grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary, Super Bowl Sunday, your best friend’s wedding, your own wedding, graduation, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, WrestleMania, the birth…
So, we are one beer-soaked (or whatever the hell you drink-soaked) weekend away from Opening Day against the dumb Yankees. And it’s pretty rock n’ roll to know that the shitty winter weather is almost over for another year and soon it will be backyard BBQ time or up at the cottage BBQ time –…
I grew up in St. Catharines – once home to the ‘baby’ Jays and (later renamed) the Stompers in the New York-Penn League – and I have now been living in Toronto for over ten-years. I have been on some good Canadian road trips, but none that have taken me to Canada’s western side. I’ve…
