Vladimir Guerrero Jr. gets the Blue Jays on the board!

Cathal Kelly says Vladimir Guerrero Jr. doesn’t just want to win, he wants to

 humiliate the opposition:

The Toronto Blue Jays won’t begin paying Vladimir Guerrero Jr. his half-billion dollars until next year, but he started earning it on Saturday. First thing on his to-do list - transform himself from Yankee irritant to “Yankee killer.”
Throughout September, the team’s biggest name was so marginal a figure that you’d have to check his punch card to be sure he’d shown up for work. Only two home runs, and none since the first week of the month.
...When he came to bat in the first inning, the Rogers Centre was in a nervy state. They’d spent the top of the first inning cheering every Yankee out like it was the last.
“It was so loud,” Gausman said. “It was crazy.”
It was a lot of noise, but you didn’t get the sense that it was born of extreme confidence. More the opposite thing.
Then Guerrero, who has spent a month looking like he’s swinging at soap bubbles, planted a ball into the stands behind the left-field bullpen. And that was his second most impressive play to start the game.
Nobody expects Guerrero to be a great first baseman, as long as he’s not a colander. In the second, the Yankees got a hitter on base - the disruptive Jazz Chisholm. The next man up, Ryan McMahon, cracked his bat in half hitting a ropey line drive in Guerrero’s direction.
The barrel of the bat was twirling so unpredictably toward first that the umpire fled his position. Guerrero lasered in on the ball, jumping to his right, catching the fly and then springing up to tag the base. An unassisted double play - you don’t see many of those by men Guerrero’s size.
There was a lot of game to go, but after those two plays, the building relaxed. This wasn’t going to be one of those post-season pile-ups the Jays had become famous for.
In the end, Toronto annihilated New York 10-1. The Yankees are in it up to their chin now....

BLUE JAYS FOR THE WIN A decisive 10-1 opening victory for the Toronto Blue Jays over the New York Yankees. Back at it tomorrow for Game 2 of the ALDS. Full marks to Jays fans. That’s one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever been a part of. And it’s just getting started.

My hot take is that the homeless guy who picks through everyones recycling to bring the empties to the Beer Store is actually doing more for the environment than your average middle class person is

Not to mention keeping alcohol prices lower by reducing material costs.

TrumpWatch - posts about the world's most anticipated event

My drink of choice is rum and Coke. What is the best rum I can get that won't cost me a month's rent? I want to have a bottle on hand for when Donald Trump has a heart attack and I spend the next 48 hours celebrating.

It is kind of a funny mental image to imagine Vance looming over an unconscious Trump on life support being like come on, fucking DIE already… I killed the pope for this.

When Trump dies and is buried I hope his epithet reads, "Here Lies Donald Trump For The Very Last Time."

I think we should do Trump-is-dead speculation every time we get a clean chance, it’s clearly great for team morale. If you’re not into it, I dunno, post cat pics or something and enjoy the downstream benefits of other people being in a good mood

I was so excited today. I thought this was an obituary — turns out I was very wrong. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
