  1. As I get older I realize I have less inclination to deal with certain personality types. Fortunately technology has an answer to my dilemma .
  2. The guy had a good, career; would have been a good fit if he was here a few years earlier.
  3. I'd love to see the players talk to the media about their major concerns about a recycled hot headed coach. Like does he practice the power play yet? Will he be jabbing his bony fingers into my just recovered separated shoulder? Will he try to beat up the other team's coach? All valid questions and concerns for the players. Media works both ways
  4. I remember when. Benny Hill and Dave Allen At Large on KVOS 12. CBC on channel 3, BCTV on channel 8 and KVOS 12 was all we had for years. The excitement as the original 13 channel dial got slowly filled up with other channels CKVU appeared- with those 'racy' movies on a Friday night. Good times.
  5. need to have a certain number of 'NHL' players in the lineup for all exhibition games. D.D. helps with that. And maybe he does land the 7th or 8th spot on defense as well; win/win. No loss. Good
  6. Manoah gets game one. a- he's earned it with his overall year b- he's pitching very well right now c- it may help him to like playing for the Jays even more- sign him up and keep him happy. Gausman has been steadier all year than Berrios, so Game 2 for him, then the mystery man- which Berrios do they get that day?
  7. You seem to be confusing nice toys and possessions with having a good life. This materialistic mindset will likely hinder you as you go forward.
  8. Yes, to this. I'd even go as far to get Rick Hansen on some currency as well.
  9. Keep Bo, even if he doesn't sign and let him walk at season end. The cap space will be useful, and we get the use of him for this season. Bo can be our 'rental' this season. Come at me, all those that said that about Miller., but think it doesn't apply to Bo.
  10. " following her loss' , makes it sound like she got lost on the way back from a picnic. hoping, now that she is gone, Canada can move away from having royalty at all. Classy lady, but never my Queen, as Charles will never be my King.
  11. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/mlb/blue-jays-2022-playoff-tracker-magic-number-potential-opponent-and-remaining-schedule/ar-AA11wGi3?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=f8989be842bf4f10ba02c251d447e055 The calendar has turned to September, and the 2022 MLB season is slowly winding down. Before we know it, October will be here and there will be 12 teams battling it out in the postseason. The Blue Jays expect to be one of those clubs. It's been an up-and-down season for Toronto in 2022. The team came into the season as one of the favorites not just to win the AL, but to win the World Series. While they still are in a position to do so, the victories this year have not come as often as expected. However, all that it takes is getting to the dance, and as MLB enters the final weeks of the season, the Blue Jays have a chance to clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2020 and win a playoff round for the first time since 2016. The Blue Jays have been in a playoff position for quite some time, but will the team hold on and make it to postseason baseball? Here is a look at the Blue Jays' playoff picture and the remaining schedule for the team. AL playoff picture and matchups The Blue Jays remain in a playoff position as we head into the final month of baseball. The team is in the third wild card spot with a 4.5-game lead over the Orioles. If the playoffs were to start today, Toronto would take on the division winner with the worst record. In this case, that would be the Guardians. Here is the AL playoff picture, as of Sept. 6. A1 Astros — BYE A2 Yankees — BYE A3 Guardians vs. A6 Blue Jays A4 Rays vs. A5 Mariners Place Team Wins Losses Win% Games Back West winner Astros 88 40 .642 — East winner Yankees 83 54 .606 — Central winner Guardians 70 65 .519 — WC1 Rays 77 58 .570 — WC2 Mariners 77 60 .562 — WC3 Blue Jays 76 60 .559 — — Orioles 72 65 .529 4.5 — Twins 68 67 .504 7.5 — White Sox 69 68 .504 7.5 — Red Sox 67 71 .486 10 Blue Jays magic number Blue Jays elimination number for AL East: 20 As of Sept. 7, the Blue Jays have a healthy lead for the final AL wild card spot, but still have a ways to go to lock in a postseason berth. They're also still alive for the AL East crown. The Jays' magic number to overtake the Yankees is 36. The club's elimination number in the AL East is 20. Blue Jays postseason odds To make the playoffs: -2000 To win the AL: +546 (3rd-best) To win the World Series: +1137 (6th-best) According to Sports Interaction, the Blue Jays remain not just one of the favorites to win the AL, but also to win the World Series. The team is -2000 to make the postseason, and have the third-best odds at winning the AL, behind only the Astros and Yankees. Sports Interaction has the Blue Jays at +1137 to win the World Series. Blue Jays remaining schedule It is almost only AL East opponents the rest of the way for the Blue Jays. As of Sept. 7, Toronto has nine games against the Rays, seven matchups remaining against the Orioles, three against the Red Sox and three against the Yankees.

  12. I think she was/is holding on till her 100th birthday, so as Queen she could send a leter of congratulations to herself. More than 'just' a figure head, this lady became a mechanic and worked on military vehicles during WW2. Father Time remains undefeated.
