Dylan Cease! 29 swings & misses Most by a pitcher in a game this season Most by a Blue Jays pitcher in a game under pitch tracking (2008) Tied for most in a game in his career (5/27/21)
"It Takes Two" came out in the summer of '88. I was almost 10 years old. Video Music Box would play it daily. I'd clumsily mimic the dance steps. I'd also wonder why he'd curse out McDonald's signature burger. It became a behemoth and the culture expanded. RIP Rob Base, a true Harlem legend. 🕊️

As I do every year on 4/20, I will be following the Jeopardy! interview segment tonight by saying “Dream blunt rotation. Now let’s get back into the Jeopardy! round.”
If Sosa ends up playing 2nd base for the #BlueJays they’ll have a right side of the infield of Vladimir and Lenyn
Mike Wilner@wilnerness.bsky.social · 4mo ago#Bluejays have acquired infielder Lenyn Sosa from #WhiteSox in exchange for OF Jordan Rich and a player to be named or cash. Rich was #Jays 17th-rounder in 2025. Hasn’t played pro yet. Sosa, 26, is hitting .212/.212/.303 so far this year but hit 22 HR with a .727 OPS last season. Curious.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
Military experts say it will be difficult for the United States to retrieve Iran's nuclear materials. An elderly rapist who shits himself in public says it will be easy. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
That medal of freedom is so heavy, it seems to be limiting Hellebuyck’s mobility.
Just in case anyone wanted just this part of the image:
Liberals say that crime is down. But a new breed of criminal is flooding our streets—members of ICE.
Maybe the real Bo Bichette was the friends we made along the way #BlueJays

Lemon pig time! Last year’s guy hung on all year, despite the cobwebs he made it and so did we. New friend ready to take the torch for 2026
I’m overdue in mentioning that I have a Threadless store and that t-shirts are currently $12! No obligation to buy, of course. We’re all just tryin’ to get by and whatnot. Thanks! misterlorde.threadless.com
Gotta head to my fave banh mi spot now (Banh Ngon on Sargent)
Tu Thanh Ha@tuthanhha.bsky.social · 8mo agoVietnamese food has a concept I don't often see in western cuisine - "ngán." It's translated as being bored but applies when your palate is dulled by the sameness in texture, taste. We want our food to hit different notes. A bánh mì is simultaneously soft and crunchy, spicy and cool, fatty and sour.
