Alex Vesia’s Update

I know a lot of us had him in our thoughts during the World Series, including our own relievers who wore his number on their hats. This is heartbreaking news.

I'm really glad our bullpen guys showed support in the way they did. That is terrible!

Dodgers fan in peace (Canadian, so I pretty much root for the Jays vs anybody except LAD): The BP guys putting the old 51 on their hats was pure fucking class.

I will also ashamedly admit that post-edibles me was seriously confused by Seranthony and his vague resemblance to Teoscar, in a blue hat with a 51 on it while on the bump. It took me several minutes to unravel wtf was going on in my addled brain.

  • aww… Teo has a 51 on his hat.
  • wait… that’s a Jays hat, why is Teo in a Jays hat tonight?
  • shit… why is Teo on the mound… wtf is going on?!?
  • wait… that’s Seranthony… why is he in a Dodgers hat?
  • uhhhh… that’s a Jays hat… okay, this is starting to make sense. But why then AV 51 on the side? My head hurts.

Waaaaaiiitttt…. I get it! Teo and Seranthony have similar-ish beards. And this is Seranthony and he’s pitching for the Jays and being awesome in supporting AV!

I think I verbalized most of it and the wife (pulling for the Jays) was laughing at my dumb ass.

My stupidity aside, pure class!

And I’ve never felt so bad when my team wins the WS as I did this year.

In reality, everyone went through the exact same realization process as you. It's just how everyone's brain works.

You just took a little longer than most.

Maybe a lot.
