If Hoekstra were to accuse Canada of stealing alien technology from Area 51, it would be no more absurd than his accusations of Canadian interference in US elections.
A small market final, but all I care about is that these two teams play fundamental baseball like nobody else. Put the ball in play, take extra bases, advance runners, stellar defence. As someone who’s played ball in some form my whole life, I’m eagerly looking forward to this.
I like this guy a little more every time I listen to him.

It always bothers me when people talk about attendance and only mention the average per game, because that doesn't account for ballpark capacity. For example, if you compared the Dodgers' 2026 average of 49,805 (highest in the league) with the Athletics' 9,867 (lowest) without mentioning that the Athletics are currently playing in a minor league ballpark that only seats 13,416, that would be misleading.
I put each team's capacity and average attendance in 2026 into a chart. The Blue Jays and Padres averaged over 100% attendance because of SRO options, while the Marlins and Royals averaged under 50% attendance. The league average was 72.50% in 2026, and the Athletics were at 73.55%.
Here is the full chart with teams ranked from highest attendance percentage to lowest:
Some flashy & bold wines this week, each worth the money. Spoiler: You're gonna see some of these in a few weeks when TheLushLife.ca posts its annual TOP 40 Best Values at the LCBO. thelushlife.ca/from-bubbles-… @BodegasBeronia @Sensi @Majestic @ProfileWineGrp @WoodmanWS
Now that she has "White House Press Secretary" on her resume, maybe Katie Zacharia can apply for White House Legal Counsel. I mean, Will Scharf has been there for almost two months, so his time is probably coming to an end.
For those who are inclined, the Toronto Golf & Travel Show is back Jan. 29-31 at the International Centre—and they're offering 2-for-1 tickets until October 30! torontogolfshow.com/tickets/…
Swinging for the fences has a new meaning.
