I got away from doing these for a bit simply because I didn’t have the time, but they started last year when the season was bleak and I thought they would help to lighten the mood. We appear to be getting there again, so away we go.
Here is a comprehensive list of the Best Tweets from the Jays Series at Fenway Park:
On Russell Martin, left fielder:
Curtis Granderson checked the lineup, turned to me when he saw Martin at LF and asked, “is that right?”. I nodded. Granderson:”all right, all right. Go get ‘em.”

I just want Devon Travis to be an average second baseman is that really so much to ask

Atkins: I hear you. [Dials New Hampshire area code]
*Rogers Recording: We see you're trying to call long distance. To add long distance to your package for 15 dollars a mo...*

On the emergence of ace pitcher, Sam Gaviglio:
It says something when my greatest concern for tomorrow is not seeing my Sam Gaviglio bubble burst.

- Jays get smacked
— Richard Lee-Sam (@RLeesam) May 30, 2018
- Drake gets bodied
- It's too damn hot
- Bees are dying globally at an alarming rate
But at least Vlad Jr. homered, so today wasn't a complete loss!
Russell Martin at third base tonight for Toronto; meanwhile Vlad Guerrero Jr hit his 11th homer and discovered cold fusion while rounding second

BONUS:
On staying current with trends:
Vlad Jr. should stay in Double-A all season! No better place to develop than NH. Plus they have the best social media team and a classically handsome broadcast crew, too.
