Joey Bats would be proud of that Canadian racket flip

Great photo. What a boss.

Let’s go Bianca! Would love to see a Andreescu/Williams final.

And yet he picks a fight with a nobody for daring to say he likes astronomy.

9 people from Toronto and no hits... what is this, Broken Social Scene?

I feel like you could’ve helped progress the process of not tying everything Osaka does back to that moment by not using the entire final paragraph of this article to tie Osaka’s actions in this unrelated match that didn’t even feature Williams back to that moment.

“My name is Zhang Weili. I am from China. Remember me!”

Every now and then Verlander gets a little bit closer to patching their relationship, but every now and then he falls apart too.

Bo Bichette seems like a nice guy - but I can never forgive him for turning Han Solo over to Jabba...

His Dad was always a bit of an underrated player IMO, but Bo appears to be a straight up star. That smooth swing and the sound the ball makes when he makes contact are just sublime.

I'm waiting for you to stop yelling

How can you support that man after he tried to kill the Queen?!?!?!

You have to watch the “inherited skill” video to the end.

His hand speed on that blew my mind.  I know it was a changeup, but it felt like he didn’t even start his swing until the ball was already at the plate.

This is just like my dad and me, only instead of hitting home runs for large sums of money, I’m an emotionally distant borderline alcoholic who can’t communicate a lifetime full of disappointment with a disengaged, functionally absentee parent. So cool!

 It reads better that way.

I heartily encourage everyone to watch that video embedded in the Sportsnet tweet, especially if, like me, your heart is largely filled with contempt and despair for humanity. It’s a nice reprieve from all of that.

As a Canadian, this was the most excited we had been for a tennis match in some time - although, that’s partly due to becoming immune to being regularly treated to Federer/Nadal/Williams etc. over the last decade.

The grammar of the headline suggests that the city of Toronto grounded into a double play, then gave Vlad Guerrero Jr. a standing ovation.

Still a small sample size - especially for Bo - but this core (including Gurriel Jr.) has the potential to be something special.
