"I always feel like if I miss a ground ball, it's my fault and I deserve to get hit in the nuts." I might never write a story with better quotes. Inside the divisive subject of protective cups among MLB players: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

sportsnet.caInside the Blue Jays' sensitive subject of protective cupsA painful foul ball hit by Blue Jays star Ernie Clement raised questions about the use of protective cups. Turns out different players have different feelings on the subject.

Did Team Olivia pay for these Brad Bradford ads to be played at every single commercial break, volume amped, during #BlueJays games on the Sportsnet app? 4D chess mayoral race strategy. (Also please play something else, anything else. NOT YOU B*T3six5 SIT DOWN)

That's my team! A surprising win (shout out to the Music Round). Have forwarded to the captain of the OG Garbage Bears in Parry Sound for awareness and accolades.

Good morning all. Here are the results from last night's @anotherroundtrivia.bsky.social at the Fox & Fiddle Danforth:

An all-time great feel-good, pure entertainment value post + replies here. It's been a hit in every group chat, too. [Glenn Pierogies]

Canada Day 2017 at the Dome watching the @bluejays with my sister. They lost that afternoon, but I only remember what a good day that was. I will cheer on this team no matter where they are in the standings. They continue to deliver thrilling moments and good memories. Happy Canada Day! #bluejays

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.

Look, not everybody needs to be a strawberry, okay? There's room for cranberries in this world too. You can be weird and sour and only tolerated by a handful of people around the holidays. I know you can. You can be fun if mixed with enough vodka. I believe in you. You can live in a bog

I cheer for this guy and this team all day, every day. See you Friday night, Ernie.

“The more time that passes, the more I understand that we still got to do something special.” Ernie Clement has a few things to say before the Toronto Blue Jays season opener.

Want. Want the entire series, frankly.
