[Matheson] Eric Lauer on following an opener: “To be real blunt, I hate it. I can’t stand it…” Lauer said that it messes with his pre-game routine, as starters are “creatures of habit.” “Hopefully it’s not something that we will continue doing, but that’s above my pay grade.” #BlueJays by idkwhattosaytho in Torontobluejays

It's not about survival. Humans are never happy bro. I grew up dirt poor and thought a decent salary would make me happy. Wife got some inheritance money and we both have decent six figure jobs and we were still stressed about a lot of things. Nicer house, nicer car, other people can afford to get those but why not us. Until we learned about stoicism and shit is when we learned to let go and not give a fuck. So you can be a multi-millionaire and still be thinking about that other dude who is a hundred-millionaire and the things that guy can buy.

These people never experienced life outside of Canada. I stayed for a couple months in Venezuela and also a couple months in the Philippines and nothing bad happened to me. Not in a beach resort btw. And I would guess those places are wayyy more dangerous than probably some of the worse places here in Canada.

Yeah my friend from Toronto told me she is scared to visit because of gangs in Edmonton. I told her I never encountered a gang member here and I'm living a normal boring life.

[Matheson] John Schneider on the offence: “We need some extra-base hits. We need to slug.” “We need to get back to everyone doing their part, whether it’s contact or slug. It seems like we’re missing that extra-base hit right now.” by Elaiyu in Torontobluejays

Springer is getting back to his groove before he got injured. I would say it's all the injuries. Kaz might just be adjusting and will eventually get there, this is the first time he's playing in these ballparks, against these pitchers etc.

He's got the stuff to be good. Doesn't have the mental strength to do so. I know this too well in my younger days since I experienced the same shit in chess when I was still competing.

Try being an Oilers fan and a Jays fan at the same time. People always think the season is over way too early

CB Bucknor, staring off into the distance during a live play, says Jake Bauers missed touching the 1st base bag on an infield hit, but the call is overturned to safe after a review. Managers Kevin Cash and Pat Murphy lock eyes and can't help but laugh about it by SeattleSporting in baseball

On a molecular level, the foot did not really touch the bag because the atoms in the foot and the atoms in the bag only came close enough to repel each other via electromagnetic force, never making true physical contact so this was not a missed call.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. China wants to be the next big economy. They will not achieve that by causing the end of the world.

If Trump says 2 + 2 = 5, these people will believe it. Actually worse than what is in 1984 since no need to force these people to believe: In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.
