First time back at the Bayshore since 2010. Came here specifically for the unfurling of the @GregCowanST 2025-26 Twitterer of the Year banner. To my dismay, no banner. Got Ribfest instead. Gonna go back to Kitchener. More banners there.

Of Monsters and Men. Icelandic breeze in the air down along the shores of Lake Ontario tonight. Love it.

Easily the most frustrating Jays game among a mountain of frustrating Jays games. And yet they stick around and can somehow still win this stupid game in this dumb, loud, edgy and weird ballpark. What a strange season.

Can't go wrong with a Martin in the lineup for Elmira game. As welcome as a couple litres of maple syrup.

The craziest record. Makes no sense at all.
On this date in 1995, Cal Ripken Jr. officially became baseball's Iron Man ⭐️
He played in his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking a record held by Lou Gehrig for 56 years!

Randomly found myself on a Savage Garden kick this week. Some notes that nobody asked for:
- To the Moon & Back is low-key their best tune
- I Want You is a banger that somehow bangs even bangier today than it did in 1997
- That's it, I guess

The downside of working irregular hours is that I’m working while some are playing.
The upside of working irregular hours is that I’m getting set to dive into a giant jumbo pretzel (@grainharvest) and a @BlueJays game on a Thursday at 1:10 p.m.

I used to sit beside a future hall of famer in the pressbox. And also drove through Elmvale daily on my way to work at the Barrie Examiner. Makes me an honorary member, basically. In all seriousness, so deserving. Love to see it. Joins Elmvale's other finest, Garrett Wilson.

Mike Farwell is a choice about as easy as heading to the rink early to snag a parking spot at the Aud on a Friday night.

Tennis players, more than any other athletes, make me feel super old. Djoker is 39 and it somehow feels like he has been on tour since before I was born.
Novak Djokovic beaten in the first round of a major for the first time in 20 years. Loses at the #USOpen in five sets to unseeded Argentine Mariano Navone. Djokovic in tears in the 5th and unable to serve or move normally down the stretch
Will drop out of top 10 for first time since 2018
Full credit to Navone who handled the moment with resilience and endurance: 7-6 (5) 5-7 4-6 6-2 6-1

Lapping it up. Few things in life as good as a morning (or afternoon, or evening) lane swim at Harry Class pool in downtown Kitchener. Gallons of nostalgia as Tracy Chapman’s Give Me One Reason blares on the sound system.
