Today, my younger brother lost his job because of the orange buffoon's tariffs. After 19 yrs there. He's got a family w/ five kids. I already despised the orange blob. The ultimate clown, guilty of 34 felony counts who has no business running a country. Now there are no words. Except, I'm seething.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Like many others, I've been critical of Atkins and Shapiro but, hey, I believe we need to praise them for their work this season. It's all about team chemistry and it finally clicked with this particular group of players. A job well done, Messrs. 👏 #BlueJays

Final : 4-3. 2025 American League Champions. World Series Bound. 1st time since 1993. Wow. Just wow. I have a hard time processing that information right now. I absolutely can't believe it's true. I'll have a few days to work on that. Game 1 of the World Series in Toronto next Friday. #BlueJays

So weird seeing Bassitt and Gausman in relief. I have flashbacks of the Expos' Steve Rodgers in 1981 giving that home run to Rick Monday. 😰 #BlueJays

Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Lost my voice Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Uncle Georgie! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! What a moment for the MVP... 4-3 #BlueJays

Whatever the outcome of tonight's game is please stay classy. If they win, it's a well-deserved ticket to the Big Show. If they lose, it's the end of a truly amazing and surprising season and with this talented slew of players, they can reach the same heights in 2026. #BlueJays

If you told me back in March that the Toronto Blue Jays would be playing a Game 7 in the ALCS with a ticket to the World Series on the line I would've laughed in your face with utter disbelief. Ridiculous thought. Insane prognostic. I predicted a .500 season. At best. Yet, here we are. #BlueJays

Indeed. Good night.

Final : 6-2. Ooooooooooooooooooooh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What a beautiful team win. Kid pitched a gem. Good work by the bullpen. And Junior... wow. I absolutely can't believe this team will reach Game 7 of the ALCS. Unbelievable. They can go to the World Series Monday night. #BlueJays

Poor Georgie. Seems to be in a lot of pain. But he wants to keep playing. What a warrior. Nothing but respect for this veteran. 👍 #BlueJays

Another great Trey Yesavage performance. This youngster has a very promising career ahead of him. Hats off. 👏 #BlueJays

Ok. Here we go... Game 6. The Kid vs Gilbert. After protesting in the streets against fascism yesterday, time to get back to work. Absolute must-win game for #BlueJays... or the season ends. Oh. By the way, happy birthday to the one and only José Bautista who turns 45 today.

The Ball Kid @theballkid.bsky.social · 5d

Yes.

I just want one thing : that Schneider sits Little 'til the end of the damn season. #BlueJays

Yes. They need to do that.

The Ball Kid @theballkid.bsky.social · 5d

Hope so. Good evening to you too.

Last two Little outings were downright atrocious. Dunno why Schneider keeps sending him out there. Real head scratcher... 🤔 #BlueJays

The Ball Kid @theballkid.bsky.social · 5d

Oh no no no no, noooooooooooooooooooo! Not Georgie! Not the team's MVP! Would have disastrous consequences for #BlueJays if they lose him... 😧

The Ball Kid @theballkid.bsky.social · 5d

Oh Gausman. Another excellent postseason performance. Very well done. He deserves the W. 👏 #BlueJays

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! You made me drop me calzone. What a player... 2-1 #BlueJays

The Ball Kid @theballkid.bsky.social · 5d

Ok. Here we go... Game 5. The beautiful Gausy guy vs Miller. After the last two games, I have total confidence in this team. I smell a sweep. I feel a sweep. I know a sweep is comin'. I know a sweep is comin'. #BlueJays
