I didn't know, that Canada has a Baseball League Canada has one team. Every expansion, or when a city is selling off a team, there is talk....bring a team back to Montreal....put a team in BC, put a team on the east coast. But, it’s still just us. |

Even though, by all accounts the Canadian people are some of the friendliest on planet earth, they tend to support hockey (ugh) and something called the Canadian Football League much better than the major league baseball teams that have called that country home.
The Blue Jays bubble up every 8 or 9 years with a very good team only to see the best players poached by the deeper pockets of some of the teams residing in US of A. The Expos, which resided in Montreal, were very competitive last century before moving franchise way south.
I hope the Blue Jays make a little noise this year but will be difficult in the American League East with Sox and Yankees still being favorites. At least they should finish ahead of the fire sale Orioles though. |

We have the Winnipeg Goldeyes who belong to the Amercian Association

I still do not understand the logic of we pay big bucks so good players play for a different team. If we are paying them, why not keep them? I just do not understand. And while they have gotten rid of almost every decent player, they have raised the prices. Again. We still have Smoak and Stroman. I think that’s about it though. Even some of the players who were not stars, but I just really loved watching....gone. Players like Barney and Diaz. |

Went to a game Friday night. Sat with a good group of strangers. Got to see Diaz play again, which was nice.
I think our tv announcers need to retire. Been thinking it all year. The team sucks. Management has made some really bad decisions. And our announcers just keep reading their bullet-points about how honky-dory everything is.
But yesterday’s game they under-did themselves. (Thanks the opposite out out-did themselves...because they were so stupidly bad.)
Verlander pitches a no-hitter. I think there was only one walk....so, almost a perfect game. It was a scoreless game until the top of the ninth, when Toro got a 2-run homer.
By about the 7th inning the announcers are talking about Verlander having. No-hitter going, and how few pitchers have ever pitched 2 no-hitters against the same team. All that is good and fine.
BUT
They also keep going on about how the Jays pitchers are matching h8m pitch for pitch. 🤔 We are on our 3rd or 4th pitcher. And though no runs at that point, there were at least 2 hits. How is that matching Verlander pitch for pitch?
I think the guys doing the commentary should be fans of the game, not yes-men to the owners. (I’m pretty sure the team, the stadium, and the station are all owned by Rogers.)
