I don't have a feeling about baseball but Los Angeles has been through hell this year and something that makes this city feel good is good

They are definitely hardy, they're on the backside of the house so are shaded most of the day but seem to love it

The Blue Jays may not be Canadian players, but they’ve been in Canada long enough to know that coming at Canadians is just a fucking dumb move.

We don’t START fights. We FINISH them.

I abandoned you and fed half my face to the leopards in the spirit of compromise and they still ate the whole thing. To prove that I've changed, I've found it in my heart to forgive you.

Montreal can't afford landlords for mayors Montreal can't afford landlords for mayors.

What I love is the arrogance of it all, there was a stock market before billionaires, there was companies and businesses before them they are not vital to the world in any way but the opposite taking out of the economy for dragon hordes, heck bet it be healthier and more competitive without them.
