"one plugged in person estimated 25 of the 30 teams own (a Trajekt machine)"

Hmm, let's guess who doesn't. Rockies, Angels, Pirates seem like certainties. White Sox? Athletics? Reds? Just ID the cheap-ass owner, really.

Most importantly, the Blue Jays advanced. But by winning the ALDS in four games, they're in a strong position going into the ALCS. More at sportsnet dot ca www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Update! I found them. An on-site search of "2025 Ford Expedition" came up with nothing, but searching "2025 Ford Expedition specs" unearthed them from somewhere. Meanwhile, over at the totally normal and function Lincoln site, I found the Navigator's specs in 2 seconds without using search.

My god Ford. Finding basic dimensions has become impossible. Consumer site? No. Media site? What media site? Oh, that's supposed to be the media site? LOL. I'm just looking for cargo capacity, not the suspension geometry.

Wouldn't give it to them, no. Honda, Hyundai, Kia ... just to name a few. No beef with Stellantis, though.

I remember the interior. It was very Jaguar ... but put together with cheaper stuff. I have no dynamic recollections.

First Jaguar I ever drove. The mileage on this is bonkers. They must’ve been saving it for special.

No matter who wins Friday, the #BlueJays will be playing either Seattle or Detroit, the two cities closest to their sea-to-sea fanbase. There's going to be a LOT of Canadians at those road games regardless (though almost certainly more in Detroit).

I’m a happy guy.

Before the season, it felt really generous to consider the Blue Jays wild-card contenders.

Now they are headed to the ALCS.

Toronto sports fans have been treated to so much misery of both the expected and unexpected varieties that this club's trajectory feels difficult to believe.

Jays score their 5th and 6th runs. My son brings out the tiny Leafs net in the TV room and goes to me “Daddy, can we play hockey?”

Hence, the most Canadian thing he’s ever done.

White panel hats, grey pants. It’s just wrong. #BlueJays

Oh I know, was thinking more about combination of the vast left field in addition to Santander in right. I had the same Springer thought, but if you put him out there, it's harder to replace him later in the game for defence than it is Santander.

James Riswick @jriz.bsky.social · 3d

So much for outfield defence ... hope Daulton is feeling especially limber today.

Was just sitting at a red light on my bicycle. Car comes up behind me, I don’t look. “Is that a 911?”

It eventually passes me. Subaru Ascent. “Hey, close enough”

I love the white panels … but white panels with grey pants, that’s just wrong. Even white panels with powder blues don’t really work (as seen in Detroit this year) as the trim is different. That wasn’t the case back in the 70s and 80s. On the other hand, LUCK!
