      Pinky finger typically isnt utilized when playing video games....unless I've been holding my controller wrong all these years [emoji23]. This is definitely an odd one

        I'd wager he got a little mad and slammed his fist down on the desk or something and broke it that way. Doesn't take much to break a finger.

            He said today that that is exactly what happened.

              Jays announce they'll be moving to Buffalo starting June 1st, and capacity will be 24%, which is about 4000 fans.

              Nice to see them moving out of Dunedin.

              Seemed like many people there weren't cheering for the Jays. You get lots of visiting fans or just people who came to see baseball.

              In Buffalo, hopefully we have more Jays fans. Not sure what border restrictions are like in terms of driving across the border, but if its possible, I definitely see Jays fans making the trip. And more likely to see NY based Canadians heading to Buffalo.

              Still a possibility of returning to Toronto (which I see happening at earliest being after the ASB), but if they do return to Toronto, they'd have played home games in 2 different countries, 3 different states, 4 different cities (Dunedin, Buffalo, Toronto and LA due to a makeup game later this season)

                Didn't help either that third basemen can't see ground balls because the sun is in their eyes.

                I'd like to see them back in Toronto sometime soon, though. Just seems weird when they're playing home games under nothing but sky.

                  A Jays home game being postponed was so weird to see.

                  Hopefully one thing that comes out of playing in Dunedin and Buffalo is that it gives ownership ideas of what works and doesn't for a new stadium. Obviously a new stadium here would need a retractable roof, but it should feel real open when the roof does open, like a convertible car, rather than feeling like you just opened the sunroof in some SUV.

                  Don't think they're having special jerseys, but would've been cool to sell some mashup.

                  A Jays themed Buffalo jersey would probably be better than a Buffalo themed Jays jersey.

                  This is a promo from a few years back

                  Something like that, except instead of Bisons it says Buffalo. Especially with fans in the stands, they really should've done that, I'm sure they'd buy merch that says Buffalo on it.

                  Missed opportunity wearing/selling Dunedin Blue Jays(the actual A ball team name) gear for the Jays games in Dunedin.

                          I wonder if anyone picks him up. Even if he just DH, maybe it would be worth a shot?

                          Too bad if this is the end. Was close to cracking top 5-10 all time in MLB for various categories this year, including 3000 games played. Might have gotten 700HR if he played another 2 seasons.


                          If I checked properly, Rich Hill would be the oldest active player in baseball, and Yadier Molina would be the last active player who was in MVP Baseball 2005?

                            I'd kind of like to see Pujols play one last game with the Cardinals.

                                I hate seeing an all time great go out like this but it’s tough to feel bad for someone that signed a 10 year deal when he was 32. He knew it wouldn’t end well
