This was such an outstanding gift. So thoughtful & completely out of nowhere, memorializing such a cool moment in my career. But then, there’s never been a better gift-giver than @arlodesigns.bsky.social
There’s a Tom Cheek bobblehead behind me that she had made, too. Amazing, ridiculous, awesome.
Thank you!
I wrote about Team Canada's loss to the USA at the World Baseball Classic last night and what it says about the state of baseball in this country.
It'll be in @thestar.com tomorrow, but you can read it tonight!
Why thank you
That must be it.
Would be nice, it’s true. But such is the WBC, unfortunately.
I feel badly for you. That was a terrific game.
That will be so much fun.
Truth
Well, it was a fun ride. And a very good game.
Canada came back from 5-0 to get the tying run to second base in the seventh inning with the meat of the order coming up.
It would have been a good time.
OK, kids, here we go!
Canada needs to score twice before Mason Miller gets three outs.
That can't be the goal. Come on.
You've got to take advantage of your golden opportunities and not give up extra outs if you want to beat one of the best teams in the world.
Canada has not done that so far tonight.
We got a ballgame.
Bo Naylor, ladies and gentlemen and anyone else!
Damnit
TV TIME!!!
Going on CBC News Network ANY MINUTE NOW to talk about tonight's World Baseball Classic game between Canada and Team USA!
Wrote this last night.
Vladdy has a quarterfinal date with Korea tonight, starts an hour and a half before Canada-USA.

Wrote this today about Vladdy carrying his #Bluejays post-season success to the World Baseball Classic. Will it keep going into the regular season?

A new episode comes your way this afternoon! You’ll hear all about Canada’s huge win at the WBC yesterday (and their unfortunate reward for it)!
Then you’ll meet new #Bluejays Tyler Rogers & Chase Lee, and get to know top prospect Arjun Nimmala!
Look for it this aft.!
That's too good! And it shames my 0.0044. Can't be (or something).
Thank you for showing me this game! I got a 0.0044, which you beat the pants off.
Curious, though, that it says the average person gets around a 0.02 and yet everyone in the comments about this thing is much better than that!
Just put this week's new episode of Deep Left Field to bed - you're gonna love it!
We talk Canada's huge Pool A victory at the World Baseball Classic, then meet #Bluejays new guys Trevor Rogers & Chase Lee.
Also, get to know Arjun Nimmala, plus the mailbag!
Look for it Thursday afternoon!
OK, so it's Canada-USA on Friday (the 13th) night at 8:00pm Eastern in Houston.
For the first time, Canada avoided the US in pool play and for the first time, Canada advanced.
Turns out they were just delaying it. Revenge for the Olympic hockey team would be nice.
Forgot to remind you that the Deep Left Field mailbag is open and I’m recording this week’s episode after this Italy-Mexico game ends.
Feel free to contribute at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!
You’ll hear from #Bluejays new guys Trevor Rogers and Chase Lee plus top prospect Arjun Nimmala!!!
You are correct.
Sorry, posted earlier that the Canada-USA quarter-final game (assuming Italy wins or the game doesn't go 14 innings or whatever) would be Saturday, but I missed the asterisk on the schedule.
Since it would be Team USA, that game would be played Friday night at 8pm Eastern.
