And on a related note.... he and his family deserve none of this!! They shouldn't be thinking about anything except celebrating what this man has done and wil do.

Everybody needs to leave 'em the fuck alone.

There's a serious plague infecting this entire team, and I can't see it changing much throughout the rest of the year.

I wonder, how might they have acquired such bad karma??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

The hilarious irony that I'm at my first professional women's soccer game before I ever got to a men's one 🤩 It's everything I hoped it would be!

Why am I cheering. I do not like this for us at all!!

But goddamn.... I like this for them.

Mariners fans, y'all freaking deserve this! What a game, what a season.

As a sports fan, it's everything I love ❤️

As a Jays fan, y'all are going down 😃😤💪

I have no idea who this man is, and I probably shouldn't be cheering for him as a Jays fan, but it's hard to resist

@benlindbergh.bsky.social I have not stopped thinking about when you said that baseball has the most dramatic playoffs of all the major professional North American sports. Seriously. Whether or not you blame it on the fact I'm a Blue Jays fan, I completely agree with you. This has been incredible!
