Jinxed it, Tommy.
Well, lots of Jays fans in the neighborhood this weekend with Toronto at Cubs. Probably a good quarter of the people we saw in baseball gear, so way to represent, Canadians. My boys did a lemonade stand yesterday out front of our house before and after the game and charged the Jays fans half price, as we (as Cardinals fans) have a common interest with them and plus many had traveled from Canada. (More than made up for the reduced pricing in tips/"keep the change."). Thought today was the one the Jays would get, but not meant to be.
Oh and my boys netted $100. Not a bad day at the office when you're 11, 9, 6, and 2. Buys a lot of bubblegum, but seems they're saving up and the suspect it's for something more sinister.

Kevin Pillar is still doing Kevin Pillar things. This time the wall doesn't have that much give...

Through 5 innings in Detroit vs Dodgers, there are no hits.
On edit, Top 6th, Curtis Granderson hits a solo HR off Verlander.
