Good morning. Folks, they’ve done it. For the first time since 1993, the Jays are headed to a World Series. I’d like to think yelling at the TV did something to help them win, but I’m not totally convinced. Feel like joining the action live this Friday? The “best deal” on StubHub for one ticket is currently listed for the low, low price of $2,712. Mere pennies to watch history unfold.
For those of us that are going to be watching the game from the couch, make sure those Sportsnet subscriptions are up to date. I’m going to spend the money that I would have spent on a ticket on a new couch, a pantry stocked full of peanuts of cracker jacks, and an air filter + air monitor.
When you’re watching the game at home, IAQ (indoor air quality) is as important as RBI.
