To the 14th inning.

An absolute marathon. Props to all the Mariners fans who have been standing for what must seem like an eternity.

Incredible playoff baseball drama in Seattle.

This is one of those sporting moments where it’s wonderful to watch if you’re not a fan of Detroit or Seattle.

If you’re a fan or Detroit or Seattle this is likely horrifyingly stressful and anxiety-inducing.

Now in the 13th inning.

Maybe Seattle and Detroit will play all the way until Sunday.

And meanwhile in Toronto the Jays and their fans are watching, resting, waiting as these two teams try to end this thing.

To the bottom of the 11th inning in Seattle tied 2-2.

A Saskatchewan Roughriders victory vs Toronto tonight clinches first place in the Western Division.

And I’m really wishing I was back home in the heartland of football for it. Watching every second from Montreal.

Enjoy it, Rider Nation.

Did you know Canadian short track speed skaters have won 37 Olympic medals — second only the long track speed skaters who have won 42.

A wildly successful program that intends on breaking record haul of six medals at one Games in Milano in February. Journey starts here tomorrow.

He just can’t stay away from the ice.

That’s Canada’s most decorated male Winter Olympian Charles Hamelin here at Maurice Richard Arena — part of the volunteer team for the World Tour Opener.

Competition hits high gear here tomorrow at 1:30pm ET. Watch it live on @cbcsports

Good morning from Montreal sports fans.

It’s looking beautiful here as the leaves start to change colour and fall 🍂 blankets the city.

Heading to historic Maurice Richard Arena this afternoon ahead of the short track speed skating World Tour beginning tomorrow.

A crisp October evening in the big city.

Heading out on a 10-day adventure starting tomorrow that’ll take me to Montreal and then Nisku.

Hoping to return to a World Series showdown here in Toronto.

It’s a busy few weeks, months, year ahead.

Off to Montreal this weekend for short track speed skating coverage. Then directly to Nisku, Alberta for Grand Slam of Curling.

Won’t make it to any ALCS games in Toronto unless it gets to a Game 7… which is equal parts fun/terrifying

Coffee break at the local Starbucks in Toronto wearing my Jays 🧢

The baristas were buzzing over last night’s series clinching victory over the Yankees

And promptly marked up my cup accordingly. Ok Blue Jays. Let’s Play Ball.

Blank ends in curling. Always a hot topic.

Well guess what... at next week's @grandslamcurl in Nisku, changes are coming. Teams will only get one blank end per game. Use it wisely.

More from @JohnDHodge: www.thegrandslamofcurling.com/news/how-the...

How the Grand Slam of Curling is working to curtail blank ends

Unless you’re the ultimate curling purist, you probably don’t like blank ends. We can all think of at least one time we sat down to watch a curling game — live or on television — and had to wait close...

Summer McIntosh has unexpectedly fallen ill and based on doctor's advice, will not be racing in first stop of the World Cup, set to begin tomorrow.

No word at this point if she'll be healthy enough to race in final two stops, including Toronto.

Good morning sports fans.

Especially to all those Blue Jays fans across Canada and beyond.

Feels like fall in Toronto this morning but the boys of summer are still rolling. Have a great start to your Thursday.

The postgame celebration interviews conducted by @thehazelmae are always my favourite.

What a pro. So prepared. Ready for literally anything thrown her way.

Soaked and soaking it up. We all are. Awesome stuff, Hazel.
