Seriously everyone. Don’t be a bitch.

I think.. if the Jays lose the ALCS, I'll be disappointed but not gutted like if they had lost to the Yankees. This is a good thing for this team.

good job boys

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 5h

if they pull Hoffman, who are they going to put in? Gausman? Yesavage?

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 5h

Can we please get some *more* insurance runs?

and 3 more outs. Let's go boys.

I wish I knew more Klingon because in my heart of hearts I want to be as badass as General Martok.

I know I'm probably more Gowron

If Hoffman gives up a home run now- or indeed any runs, I will be gutted. We're so close boys, get this done

GET OUTS NOT WALKS. FFS HOFFMAN END THIS.

The fight about the BC ostrich farm is not really about the ostriches. It’s about far more important things than that. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Bruce Arthur: The B.C. ostrich affair is not about the birds

This isn’t really about the ostriches, but rather it's about basic biosecurity in the age of viruses, and whether a government can make and enforce laws and policy.

okay, this is embarrassing, but I thought Italian MAS boats were all like, frogman torpedoes and stuff like that. I didn't realize they were torpedo boats.

Look, WW2 Mediterranean really isn't my specialty.

when I *have* to do WW2 stuff, I try to stay in the North Atlantic like a good Canadian

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

I guess this means Hoffman probably won't be facing Stanton and Judge? and chisholm? so that's pretty good? I'm okay with that?

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

*sigh* come on boys. 6 more outs

You know what they say, Ernie, they don’t headhunt nobodies.

This would be an excellent time for a Springer Dinger, or a Springer Double, or any kid of positive Springer At Bat outcome that isn't an out. Unless it's George Springer being thrown out at home on an attempted inside-the-park homerun. That I would actually be okay with.

It's been so long since we've had like, a run of posts at @globalmarhist.bsky.social but it's good to be back in that groove.

Tomorrow we have a CFP from the Naval Dockyards Society and their very interesting conference to be held with the National Maritime Museum next March

Jays have just been the better team for all but a few innings in the series

3 5 110

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

I know I'm supposed to be ignoring this game but I've not been panicking too much. Please don't punish me for hoping, Baseball Gods.

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

Captain Kirk! And Miles Straw, you beauty. Now more please. Let's get this done.

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

that's hilarious, sorry

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

Two more innings. 6 more outs (And some insurance runs, please)

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

And I would really love it if the Jays could score just a few more runs?

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

At this point we need 9 outs without giving up any runs. I really hope the Jays can do it

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

I'm envious

Dr Samuel McLean @canadianerrant.bsky.social · 6h

He did indeed. He deserves a sloppy kiss on the cheek. As long as he doesn't make any defensive mistakes and the Jays win the game

Cam Schlittler struck out 12 #Redsox over 8 innings last week with #Yankees facing elimination in the wild card round.

Tonight, he struck out two #Bluejays in 6 1/3.
