CEO @LyricFind, in Toronto

[Darryl Ballantyne @DBToronto]

Today we took a big step for our industry. And it’s so much more important than just lyrics!

[LyricFind @LyricFind]

BIG NEWS: In order to restore competition in the digital music space, LyricFind has filed suit today against Musixmatch and its private-equity owner, TPG Global. For more details on the suit and its impact, please read this open letter from our Founder and CEO Darryl Ballantyne.

To clarify, @BlueJays - we were AT our seats. Not n the aisle. Not ON our seats. The people behind us were not disabled. There was zero reason for this.

[Darryl Ballantyne @DBToronto]

Hey @BlueJays - my son and I were just told to sit down by an usher during the 9th inning of the game (at our seats)! Is standing not allowed during games anymore?? What kind of a policy is this??

[Darryl Ballantyne @DBToronto]

Here we go! 💪🏻

[LyricFind @LyricFind]

UPDATE: Yesterday, the court firmly denied Musixmatch and TPG Global’s Motions to Dismiss our antitrust lawsuit against them. We’re ready for discovery, and eager to dig into every piece of material to get to the bottom of this scheme. https://t.co/w0t7nFZvsd

Baseball is broken. @BlueJays @Dodgers #Sasaki

@C_Bass419 Imagine what Rickey could do with the new rules (and bases) for 2023! That would’ve been incredible to see.

The @BlueJays would have beaten HALF of the @NFL teams playing today 👀👀

[Darryl Ballantyne @DBToronto]

@SlangsOnSports @EliasSports What about before 1961? Can we go back further? I feel like it has to be the most ever by a team going into the final inning being no-hit.

[Darryl Ballantyne @DBToronto]

@langdale_j @mypandashallfly @JoePompliano @superfan_nav No, the first Canadian would be James Naismith, the inventor of the game, and who the Hall was named after - inducted in the inaugural class. And many others in between. But happy to have Nav join them!!

Gary Trent Sr: Starts career with @trailblazers - gets traded to @Raptors in his third year after 41 games. @gtrentjr : Starts career with Blazers, gets traded to Raptors after...wait for it...41 games. I just hope Jr. lasts more than 13 games!

@darrenrovell @HeritageAuction MLSE sold fan rings like this for $50K. All the rings are registered - both exec and these ones - reach out to MLSE to confirm. Alternately, see if you can find an MLSE exec with the last name “Toronto”...

Day 4 of quarantine. We’ve set up the Wii, which has been gathering dust for years. The wife has now discovered the Miis for a bunch of ex-girlfriends...thankfully, she is amused. #Nintendo #Wii #QuarantineLife

@MercedesGlobal Andrew Scheer: He’s not as advertised.

[Darryl Ballantyne @DBToronto]

@rossb02 It's all full circle indeed! Eventually everyone figures out that labels, publishers, and even writers don't have them (at least accurately). And yep - manual transcribing is still the best, most accurate method.

[Darryl Ballantyne @DBToronto]

I’ve now been to two of @JustinVerlander’s no hitters, and HE DOESN’T EVEN PLAY FOR US.

[Darryl Ballantyne @DBToronto]

I don’t understand the @BlueJays push to trade @MStrooo6. He’s exactly the player they need long term - and no prospects to replace him! He’s the @DeMar_DeRozan of Jays - loves the city, team, country. Always been proud to be here. And you can’t trade him for Kawhi...keep him!
