Sorry, dude

I think I waited too long to get tickets—there are none available. Must be because of the $5 ticket promotion. I guess I’m just not used to the idea of regular season sellouts, my franchise not being sufficiently storied.

along with the Indians and Athletics, there is just something about those teams that I just hate so much.

Yeah, my hate for the Jays is unquantifiable, but genuine

I also really hate the Mariners and the Angels and the Giants for similarly unsubstantiated reasons.

My list of people to punch in the taint today.

2. The home plate umpire
3. Cito Gaston

I want to punch him for his oversized strikezone.
