The Joker is so damn fun to watch, Murray too. I didn't want to cheer against Kawhi, but I'm 100% on board the Nuggets bandwagon now. Going into Q4 with an 8 point lead

The Jays are down 20-3 in the bottom of the 8th and we've got a position player pitching

Steve Cohen to buy the Mets Congrats Mets fans, the franchise might finally turn around once the Wilpons are out of the picture. Still one more hurdle to get over before it's actually final, but if there was any real concern about the other owners not approving of the sale then I doubt things would progressed this far.

Not looking good for the Isles

Fingers and toes crossed! They're definitely not a favourite to win it, so I assume those bets would pay out pretty well if they do win it.

I haven't tried a wide variety of sake, but I have enjoyed what I tried. Soju (Korean) is also very nice. Vietnamese rice wine tends to be on the stronger side compared to a typical sake. It's definitely not for everybody. There's really no replacement for it over here in Canada. When I'm in the mood for it, I just grab a nice bottle of vodka and pretend it's the real thing. I've really been enjoying some local vodkas lately, but the flavour just isn't the same.

Yep. From an ESPN article: MLB is implementing an expanded 16-team playoff format for the 2020 postseason. The top two teams in each division, plus the two remaining teams with the best records in each league, will make up the eight-team fields in the American and National Leagues. The division winners will be the top three seeds in each league, with the second-place teams slotted as seeds four through six, and the remaining two qualifiers seeded Nos. 7 and 8. The first-round matchups will follow a 1-vs.-8, 2-vs.-7 format and will be best-of-three series, giving things a March Madness feel. Even if the Jays drop behind the Yanks in the AL East standings, they're in a good position to be one of the 7/8 seeds - unless they really fall apart down the stretch. I like Toronto's chances in a best-of-3 series. They don't have the starting pitching depth for a longer series, but they do have Ryu and a bunch of very solid arms in the bullpen. And the ability to score runs. I can see them stealing a first round series from a better team. If the next round goes to best-of-7, then it's a different story. In any case, it's all very exciting and I'll be happy even with a first round exit as long as the games are competitive. 2015 was supposed to be their time, stupid Royals The 2020 Jays team is very young. Lots of potential, but also quite a few holes that need to be plugged. If the young core keeps developing and they add some more complementary pieces to the team, then I think they could really be competitive in another year or two. This year expectations are lower and just making it into the postseason is a victory.

For me it's Vietnamese rice wine

The Jays (26-20) are in second place a half-game ahead of the Yankees (26-21) in the division standings. Tomorrow they start a three game series @ NYY and then they have a four game series in Buffalo next week These are big games for both teams. Let's go Blue Jays!

Hard to pick just one

I think banners tend to look better with a frame of some sort, even if it's just a 1 pixel border. Any kinda of Dragon Ball banner/avatar gets a thumbs up from me Having said that, if I can nitpick a bit: It's kinda big for my liking, but that might just be because I got used to the image size restrictions over the years. (I'm sure a banner that wide would not have been allowed at the old Center...?) I also think the font is kinda huge.

They almost had me fooled for a second there, though it did seem unlikely that they would actually kill off Kosame. I'm excited for the eventual showdown with Gil.

Still one more year on his deal.

I gotta catch up on this. I think I'm two weeks behind. Last episode I watched was the break / hot spring one. Jing Also Sofia drinking TJ under the table

Maybe the balls are juiced. There has been a lot of speculation about the balls over the last two seasons. Some of the opposite field homeruns you see these days don't look like they're hit well enough to be homers, it's weird. The ball just kinda gets flung over the fence.

They were just so bad last night. I guess all those minutes started to take a toll..? Can't think of a better explanation. I'm curious to see what the team will look like next season - whenever that is. Gasol and Ibaka's contracts are up. Gasol has looked pretty cooked lately, I wonder if he just retires. Serge still has gas left in the tank, but I don't know if the Raps want to retain him. Other teams might be making him offers as well. And Fred will be a free agent. I think he's done enough to impress a lot of teams. There must be some teams out there that need a point guard that will throw money at him. Masai is going to have some work to do.

They didn't deserve to win this one. Pretty ugly game overall (especially for the Raps).

Sloppy play, too many turnovers. Still time left and it's close-ish, but it's hard to see the Raps winning this game

I hate to say it because I usually can't stand Boston teams, but these Celtics are actually pretty damn likeable. Tatum is really, really good. Ugh.

The Blue Jays lost 18-1 tonight

I wonder if it will be a bit less exciting on Netflix without the suspense of watching it weekly..? Still a great show anyways.

I'm surprised they're still playing hockey at all!

29 runs is nuts, but I think the 19-0 shutout is perhaps more impressive. The Tigers only had 2 hits the whole game

I stopped watching it so there's no going back now

I tuned in late because I had to take my daughter to figure skating. I didn't see most of the first half, but I assume it was pretty forgettable.
