Long-time, old-ass Jays fan. Frequently dumb takes. Will ease into the 2026 season as the 162 sked unfolds. Still have a 2025 hangover.

Not sure what’s gonna go down Game 6 or 7*, but this #WorldSeries has the potential to be one of the all-time greats of the modern era for all the individual performances and crazy milestones.

[Section 524 • Andrew @Section524]

Unfortunately for the #BlueJays - higher ticket prices, higher Sportsnet subscription prices, sellouts, merch support, World Series berth…
It all means higher expectations.

Hard to get the ‘support our underdogs’ fan treatment anymore.

The backlash could gain volume soon.

I think that is a first in my life.
Yelling the word 'Mauricio' as a swear word.

WELCOME BACK, ALEJANDRO KIRK💣

The @BlueJays rehabbing backstop leaves the yard in his first game for Dunedin!

[Mitch Bannon @MitchBannon]

The return will be cash considerations.

@bnicholsonsmith @MitchBannon Our cupboard is bare. Let's give him a go. Maybe Pete can straighten him out. He can't make us worse.

And another thing, Torontonians.
Enough with the Dodgers or Yankees hats as purely fashion statements.

I mean, go ahead. But as I bike past you, I will say “Dodgers/Yankees suck”.

So there.

@mummmbles Love that term - ‘ball hawks’.

I think we said this about the #BlueJays the first part of last season, too.

This team is a worse thing than just being .500-ish.
This team is boring.

@DunedinBlueJays @HERDchronicles @BlueJays Call him up.

[Section 524 • Andrew @Section524]

@RoncaLeonardo Most seasons aren’t playoff berth seasons (for this franchise). I can still enjoy the games and season if that’s how it goes down.
But frustrating. ‘Capable of so much more’ as my report cards used to say. lol

[Section 524 • Andrew @Section524]

They can win this one.

i mean it

[Section 524 • Andrew @Section524]

@RoncaLeonardo Fans, too, maybe.

[Section 524 • Andrew @Section524]

Vlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad !

@JaysPlayerDev @DunedinBlueJays Call him up.

[Section 524 • Andrew @Section524]

@VladdyMuse I did, too. It really carried… and carried.

S is for ‘squandered’.

[Section 524 • Andrew @Section524]

@bevmess I would argue Varsho was fortunate, too.

[Section 524 • Andrew @Section524]

Not again, Valenzuela.
Burning a challenge this early - first batter! - changes the entire strategy of the game. Like, not even close to challenge. I will die on this hill.

Also: Alejandro Kirk’s set to start a rehab assignment after facing live pitching and progressing well. Likely needs 20 or so at bats before he’s MLB ready again but still a big step for Blue Jays.
