@scoreffects Right?? Like having other Canadian fans be able to brag about winning would be miserable. Especially if it were the Sens or Habs

every year i never really understand the canadians who want any canadian team to win sorry but if my canadian team can’t break the drought i hope no one else’s does either and my canadian team is toronto so we’re all screwed

@johnnycakes91 @tdot28 @mrgrozz @LeafsPassion85 This is like New York Mets fans dunking on Philadelphia Phillies fans for the New York Giants beating the Philadelphia Athletics in the 1905 World Series

@tdot28 @mrgrozz @LeafsPassion85 Didn’t mention the Leafs—guess the TDSB isn’t sending their best.

"Bragging about cups you won in a 6 team league is sad bro" says fan of team that claims cups won by a different franchise in a 5-team league during the existence of the Ottoman Empire

@sssucrose @michaelao_2 The Jays signed a fan favourite Japanese player this offseason, so they could genuinely cheer for the Jays

@michaelao_2 No literally he followed up with “wow Canada number 1!!!” And I knew he was lying bc he was definitely cheering for ohtani LOL

Really funny thing I’ve been experiencing in Japan is that someone will ask where we’re from (probably expecting me to say China bc we are Chinese) and then when I say Toronto they go OOOOOO BLUE JAYS!!!! 😭😭

@FemaleJaysFan Correction: it was game 2 that I streamed on the flight

@FemaleJaysFan Was supposed to be home last night but a storm in Iceland cancelled my flight. Was supposed to be at 77¢ hot dog night tonight with my friends

@fishtastix @mc71esbian That’s how every article in The Players Tribune sounds

@mc71esbian he talks like a disney character

this is killing me for some reason

@TrySharpSide @gif_tannen Oh yeah that would, I didn’t realize that

@JordanKempff @gif_tannen Makes sense, but looks like he steps on to the plate. Would that change things?

what the hell was my guy supposed to do here?

@TrySharpSide @gif_tannen The ball is still in play, the batter has a right to be in the batters box. It’s the same as the game 5 incident with Shin Soo Choo from the 2015 alds between Toronto and Texas

@gif_tannen What was the right call? I am genuinely not sure

@yesbroccoli @ShadyCobainNV Tbf Australia is in the same federation as Syria

@ShadyCobainNV if the continent wasnt 3 times larger than europe i wouldnt care too much abt a merge but its geographically impossible for us to play in one federation so idk why they keep crying about it 😭 we cant make up new countries either like it is what it is

the europeans genuinely suggesting we merge CONCACAF and CONMEBOL as if Argentina alone isnt longer than all of Europe. 16 hrs flighs to play a qualifier because italians cant beat Bosnia 😍

@jimmy_19821793 @mrgrozz This was the first game of the season. I was at the game, the cheering was when they showed the Jays vs Yankees score in game 4 of the ALDS

@mrgrozz I have a theory. The regular season ticket people that sit on their hands gave their tickets to people that can never afford a ticket. So the people that are there are genuinely happy because it might be their first ever Leaf game.

This was the loudest our arena got this year

@JohnnyGiunta_ What’s the highest level you think he reaches this year? AA?

New JoJo highlight. Must be a day that ends in Y

@LaurieWulfand I think I had the bbq brisket dog last year

Based on the Jays website, these food items look new...

@PepeTheBee2 @ByfieldForHart So do the Leafs, though not nearly as recently as the Wings

@ByfieldForHart Red Wings cover all three

Shrink the game

@Steve_Dangle Go Petes Go

At the Oshawa Generals' last home game of the season. They're dead last in the league (it's a rebuild year). The barn is PACKED. Oshawa loves puck.

@FutPhilosopher @sp_ftp @WeaverFUT Every person from New Caledonia holds French Citizenship cause it’s part of France, though they’re on a path towards independence needing approval in a referendum

@sp_ftp @WeaverFUT Bro if he was french he probably doesn't even count as "from there" lol my point is EA are dangerously close to just literally making fun of us with these BS objectives at this point

We already knew this but EA does not play their own game at all #FC26 This objective is impossible because there are 0 players from "New Caledonia" ❌

@KyleC_014 @Josh_theJaysFan Japan also needs to score 3 or more runs in a winning effort. 4+ runs if it makes it to 12 innings

@Josh_theJaysFan If Venezuela and Canada both go out at QF stage, Canada makes it?

imagine if after basically single handedly taking the world series from the Jays, Yamamoto takes the L to knock Canada out of the olympics…

@thebchristensen @leiyangca @BlakeMurphyODC Okay yeah this is the graphic I saw before too

@JordanKempff @leiyangca @BlakeMurphyODC This is what I’ve got, from Sportsnet. Says nothing about the H2H throw-out scenario, but that was in a NY Times article I didn’t save.

So, if Japan beats Venezuela and scores at least 3 runs, I think Canada qualifies for the Olympics on tiebreakers?

@thebchristensen @leiyangca @BlakeMurphyODC Oh I assumed it would be the opposite. H2H would get thrown out if all three played each other cause that would mean they all went 1-1 in H2H. I’ve been trying to find the list of tiebreakers for a while and can’t find where I first saw it

@JordanKempff @leiyangca @BlakeMurphyODC A few folks have made the point to me that if it’s a 3-way tie, the H2H gets thrown out unless all 3 teams have played one another. Stupid, but appears to be true.

@thebchristensen @leiyangca @BlakeMurphyODC One of the first tiebreakers is head to head results, and Canada beat Puerto Rico. So it’s just between Canada and Venezuela at this point

@leiyangca @BlakeMurphyODC PR played a 10 inning game against Panama that balances out the 8 defensive innings from today, so I think both they and Canada are at 15 runs allowed in 45 defensive innings… next tie breaker is EARNED runs per defensive inning played, and Canada wins that by 3.
