Well surprised the Jays won last night.
Dodgers have an unbelievable lineup too. The only weakness seems to be some of their bullpen guys.
But would be fun if they lose.

The Dodgers are of course an amazing team and I also wouldn't be surprised if they just win the next four games anyway. I'm rooting against them though.

I heard some Dodgers hate today at Dunkins. One guy spotted somebody with a SD hat and just started gloating about last night.

Longish story, but my Dad is part of the reason Toronto has a baseball team. An acquaintance of his (friend of a friend), was a guy in the Red Sox front office who was looking to get into running a club. Cleveland was kind of down in the early to mid-70s, so the thought was to pull together a group to buy them out. Initially, the thought was just to keep the team in Cleveland, but my Dad knew some senior guy at LaBatt's who was on the board of the company he worked for in Canada. Dad introduced the Red Sox guy to LaBatt's, and they were all set to buy Cleveland when a dispute between the major parties led LaBatt's to say, to heck with the Red Sox guy and my Dad, let's just get an expansion team for Toronto.

Toronto is Blue for LaBatt's. Les Habs of course had a Molson connection.

Awesome story, thanks for sharing. Your dad was a great man!

PS: I prefer Labatt to Molson's

I don't really know. I don't do pictures in my posts other than youtube, which you can post with just a website paste.

I think you do something like post [img]http://then a link to a host for pictures, then [/img ] with no space between the g and the ] at the end. I don't use a cloud site for pictures so I just don't do it. The Chief or others can explain for real.

Strange play by Gimenez to try for 2 rather than go home. Why draw infield in if there's even a decision on a ball hit to you?

OfftheBat · « **Reply #559 on:** October 25, 2025, 10:38:44 pm »

Yeah Gimenez def. should've went home

Jacob Young is Tony Gwynn compared to Pages.

Ohtoni hit that HR about halfway up the bat. Incredible.

One shot of Max as a Nat in the photos at the end of the 4th was the black eye game

Yea I know that but he’s a way better hitter than Young. Hitters have slumps.

Vladi speed demon!

Nice to have Bo back.

Another ex-Nat makes his mark.

So, who is the second best player ever on the face of the Earth? Ruth or Mays?

I suppose we should have a discussion just about the best human
