Damn. I remember when they cancelled the 2015 world series. It sucked because I was pretty sure the Jays were the best team in baseball that year.

Watch the Tigers?

Speaking of live music, SUGAR just started an instagram page and mailing list. Which. Holy shit, is Sugar coming back!?!

Looks like I'm going to see one of the Rush reunion shows!

“They’re acting like this is their World Series” is my favourite cope because are they acting like this is their World Series or are they acting like they dismantled a team in a series they were unanimously picked to lose despite beating their asses all year and finishing as the best team in the AL

Fell asleep on the couch during the sixth. Very, very excited that the Jays are going to the ALCS!

The difference between MAGA and people like Newsom is that Newsom will go out of his way to make life impossible for trans people while holding a Pride-themed fundraiser for his campaign.

Fuck your “vote blue no matter who” bullshit. I will never vote for someone who doesn’t think I deserve basic human rights

Sports are bad.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 3d

What I have been able to watch has not been encouraging.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 3d

Managed to get the game in Canada. Since there is no rights holder, its on the UEFA website. I would very much like it if we could not lose this game.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 3d

What's very annoying is Disney seems to have the rights in a *tonne* of markets. UK. AU. A lot of Europe. Paramount has them in USA, but they share a parent company, right?

It just seems like there was some reason why they wouldn't pay for Canada, though they pay for most of the rest of the world

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 3d

Nope. Just, nope, nobody is broadcasting it in Canada.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 3d

Has anybody figured out if the Women's Champions League is broadcast *anywhere* in Canada? It doesn't appear to be on Fubo, DAZN, Sportsnet, TSN, Disney, Paramount. It looks like Canadians just can't watch the CL?

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 5d

How about dem Jays.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 5d

Yesavage is almost literally unbelievable. It's next it impossible to process what he's doing in *his fourth major league start ever.*

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 5d

A lot of The Discourse suggested there were warning signs at the end of last season that were ignored because of the Champions League win. Do you agree with this, or is this just cherry picking evidence to fit A Narrative?

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 5d

I'm teaching a section about argument analysis in one of my classes, and I've explained what begging the questions is, and that it absolutely boils my brain when people use it to mean "raises the question."

Baseball is stressful.

If Gaus keeps pitching like this, he’ll never have to buy his own butter tarts in this country again.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 6d

A year ago, he was in the emergency hospital, and was diagnosed with IBD. He was so stressed form being in hospital that he shut down, and we didn't think he'd make it. But, a year later, the IBD is under control and he's a happy fat cat.

Also, it's Ginger Snap's gotcha day, his 12th adootaversary. He's my chonky orange buddy.

An orange cat.

Vlad has decided the Jays will win a post season game, if he has to drag the other 25 there kicking and screaming.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 6d

I really like Trossard. He is good at football and always seems vaguely annoyed.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 6d

That's the title push over. After 5 games. I will still watch the season out, as I genuinely love this team. But given the money spent in the offseason, there is no way to characterize this year as anything other than a massive disappointment. It might even be a slog to get a CL spot.
