Between Chappell Roan's "The Subway" and Amanda Shires "A Way It Goes," some truly elite double-meaning songwriting play with "away / a way" happening this summer.

I do not envy the Jays in 30 editors today.

I do not envy the Jays in 30 editors today. Tough job

Suggest holding this thought until after the Dodgers series.

Can the Jays just stay at Coors Field and play the Rockies for the last eight weeks of the season?

If Dalton Varsho wants to turn into “Kyle Schwarber - walks + defence”… I’ll take it.

This is the kind of congestion the mayor and the premier should actually be working to solve.

Picture of the interior of the Dartmouth ferry terminal with a long line of annoyed people waiting for the ferry.

@hfxtransit.bsky.social: this is ridiculous.

On weekends when you know the bridge is closed and there are major events on the waterfront, ferry service should be every 15 mins.

Sort it out @andyfillmorehfx.bsky.social

Twins ig page looks like their team plane crashed.

(I do think it’s fair to say that Bieber was likely the best starting option for the Jays, given their needs and the market)

Were this the 2023 trade deadline, sure. But far as 2025 goes, they traded a guy with one AA start for a guy with four.

(I kid, mostly. I like the trade a lot. But bigger names were dangling and, even among those traded, someone like Kelly is probably “best” in the here & now.)

this is like the baseball Hall of Fame removing Hank Aaron from its home runs exhibit

Verdict on the Jays' trade deadline: Fine? Their basic needs were a starter with upside, two quality relievers, and some bench depth. That's exactly what they got! But none of their pickups were best-in-class, and whole lot of teams around them got a LOT better. That's the competitive worry.

Picking that up now. Roster management business.

This is a weird move, right? Like I’m sure Wagner’s sheen declined this year but… traded for catching depth? Were the Jays misleading in suggesting Kirk might be back soon?

Justin's Cy Young dreams remain unfulfilled.

Apparently Shane Bieber incoming from the Guardians.

First-name bias, but was really hoping for Ryan Helsley from the Cards. (They have another reliever Jays are interested in, but not quite as high a ceiling, and really think they need a guy who's right up there with Hoffman, Yariel and Yimi - if healthy enough to return - at the top end of the pen)

MLB trade deadline day! The Mariners are taking the big bats and the NL East teams are hogging all the big bullpen names, but hoping there's enough left out there for the Jays to manoeuvre and leave this a better team than it was when the week starts. (Another 1-2 arms would be the minimum need.)

In a funny coincidence, Watts-Brown also only had to make the trek across the diamond to his new club. Double-A New Hampshire, with whom Watts-Brown was playing, is in the middle of a series with Double-A Chesapeake, the Orioles affiliate where he will likely be assigned.

Too perfect: the prospect the Jays traded for this guy? ALSO a crossing-the-field trade (just not in between a double header)

Being able to walk from one clubhouse/dugout to the other and join your new team right away? What fun.

ALERT ALERT WE HAVE A CROSSING-THE-FIELD TRADE. I love it. I haven't even looked at his Baseball Reference page yet, but a crossing-the-field trade? Love it.

Walz is one of the good ones — but on this border tourism business, even the good ones just aren't getting it, are they?

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

Louder now.

Halifax councillors decry 'misinformation' from mayor, saying it undermines public trust | CBC News Some Halifax councillors say Mayor Andy Fillmore's recent comments about the roles of mayor and CAO are disconcerting and amount to "misinformation."

The Mayor's statement "I report to the CAO" was inaccurate at best. No one is perfect. We all err from time-to-time. It's what we do with mistakes that matters. I have asked twice this week for the Mayor to make a correction. He seems unwilling to do so. Very disappointing www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Little Canada is the best and is making sure the legacy of the Bat Flip lives forever… or until the 2025 Blue Jays win the World Series. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hang it in the AGO.
