We are back with a comprehensive list of the best tweets from the Blue Jays’ series vs. Boston Red Sox:
On the Blue Jays’ 2017 slogan, which is perhaps better suited for 2018:

On things that we used to question but don’t these days:
100% thought I saw Stroman head into the game at SS and for a sec was just like, "Ok, sure." (He is not, in fact, out there.) #BlueJays
— Laura Armstrong (@lauraarmy) August 29, 2017
On the many innovations in the Blue Jays’ lineup this series:
There's a profound sadness in knowing that it's been a rough year when Steve Pearce is leading off in August.
— Ari Shapiro (@ari_shapiro) August 28, 2017
On our fondness for Mookie Betts, and our preference for his location:
Mookie Betts is an adorable human being that I can't wait to see leave Toronto.
— Daryl (@ateDARYL) August 29, 2017
On visual examples of why Steve Pearce was signed to play first base:

— Ian Hunter (@BlueJayHunter) August 29, 2017
Caught between a hop and a hard place.
— Scott Mitchell (@ScottyMitchTSN) August 28, 2017
Conversely, on Marcus Stroman’s appreciation for Kevin Pillar’s incredible catch:
Not going to lie...I can't stop watching that catch from @KPILLAR4 last night. That ball should never be caught! @BlueJays
— Marcus Stroman (@MStrooo6) August 29, 2017
On Brett Anderson’s debut, which was masterful:
Brett Anderson looks like the evolved form of Danny Barnes, and he's pitching like it too so far. #BlueJays #RedSox #Curveball
— Ryan Andrews (@NeoAC18) August 29, 2017
And Brett Anderson’s glass half full attitude:
A loss is never ideal but for my first start back against one of the best in the game, ill take it.
— Brett Anderson (@BAnderson3737) August 30, 2017
And on our resulting distaste for Chris Sale:
Me watching all of Sale's 11Ks. #BlueJays pic.twitter.com/THn3JzP7jf
— Eric Rosenhek (@TheHek) August 30, 2017
On adjusting our expectations:
We've reached the point in this game where you get excited about a Blue Jay simply putting a ball in play off Chris Sale.
— Ian Hunter (@BlueJayHunter) August 30, 2017
On the Blue Jays’ continued defensive struggles:
Red Sox complaining that there was incompten--- I mean--- interference on the play. #BlueJays
— Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) August 30, 2017
If I have to watch much more of this defence, one of my neighbours is going to end up calling the police. #BlueJays
— Alison Craig (@lawandchocolate) August 31, 2017
And on Miguel Montero’s continued throwing struggles, in particular:
Whenever someone tries to steal, I imagine Montero thinking, "Should I try to throw him out or call time and announce my retirement?"
— Paul Frank (@pwgfrank) August 30, 2017
On Dominic Leone, who is a very bright spot at the moment:
Dominant Leone *whistles*
— Blue Jays Nation (@thejaysnation) August 30, 2017
On certain Buck and Pat catchphrases, which make us scratch our heads:
Tabby: Devers is a baseball player.
— Jordan Davidson (@jordangeville) August 29, 2017
Buck: Lebron is a basketball player.
Tabby: Conor McGregor is a box... whoa, almost got me. #BlueJays
On theories that should be explored more:
They're throwing these games, it's the only answer.
— James G (@james_in_to) August 30, 2017
On a missing player who we will never complain about again:
So...do ALL catchers not named Russell Martin suck or just all of OUR catchers not named Russell Martin?#BlueJays
— Paul Frank (@pwgfrank) August 30, 2017
On the boatload of sass that is in these Mike Wilner tweets:
That would be really sad. Of course, it's not true so that lessens the sadness. https://t.co/tlI6aZLh2t
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 31, 2017
First of all, I haven't written a pom poem in a long time.
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 30, 2017
Secondly, this isn't even the worst #Bluejays team in the last five years. https://t.co/ZwFCQbZR4h
(note: the original tweets aren’t embedding but they are worth expanding)
On Troy Tulowitzki‘s return to the Jays’ dugout:
Welcome home, dad. https://t.co/ykFpQUYwf7
— Jenn Smith (@Baseball_Jenn) August 29, 2017
On things that should be strongly considered:
Would anybody be opposed to them streaming "on this date in 2015" games? We can all just play pretend?
— Blue Jays Nation (@thejaysnation) August 29, 2017
On two strong contenders for this fun hashtag happening on Twitter:
