Neighbor's rooster is a poor cockfighter. He pecked at one of my dogs along the fence line and my boy showed him what time it was real *****in quick.

They have until Monday to get rid of both hens and the rooster or it's a $1000 fine per animal per day.

They got the brooms out in the Bronx yesterday.

Best result possible for the Jays, except the Sox beat the Rays on Sunday.

1/2 game out to the Yankees with a game in hand.  1.5 games back of the Sox, with 3 in hand.  The Jays are in control of their own destiny.

Good.  I hope they get it done.

The Jays have actually had a rather "unlucky"' season, too - looking at run differential

The two teams directly ahead of the Jays for the wildcard, and the team directly below, run differential:

Red Sox - +53

Yankees - +34

Oakland - +59

 

Blue Jays - +145

Jays have the 5th best run differential in the MLB

- Their "expected" win/loss record is 84-55 (currently in actuality 77-62)

Not a great time for Robbie Ray to get smacked if he’s trying to win the Cy Young. Gave up 8 hits and 3 runs to a bad Orioles team. Going to be an interesting finish to that race. Feels like Gerrit Cole probably still leads because he’s a Yankee and that carries wait for some stupid reason. Lance Lynn could also take it - he just returned from the IL.

Today is the day that it should be called the Power Four, if we're going to continue the stupid distinction among D-IA conferences:  https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10012128-cincinnati-houston-byu-ucf-accept-invites-to-join-big-12?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

Max Scherzer has been otherworldly with the Dodgers.

In his eight starts the team is 8-0 (he sports a 6-0 record in those games). He has 72 strikeouts in those games (averaging 9 per game). He hasn’t given up an earned run in his last four starts and has 41 strikeouts in that span. He has just 5 walks in 8 starts which happens to be the same number of earned runs he’s given up total.

Jays now sit 2nd in AL East. Vladdy tied Ohtani for home runs today and moved closer to that Triple Crown, too

Not to mention they scored 22 runs today and 47 over the 4 game series. And they only scored 3 in the first game.

Bring on the Rays!!

Vladdy blasts his MLB-leading 45th HR - and surpasses his Dad’s highest career total in one season (44)

And the Jays win big. NY lost. Red Sox behind at last check.

Hottest of the hot takes for some time…

The Jays catch and pass the Rays. Yup.
