Because it’s fun to care. The Blue Jays and Dodgers score gives us a free excuse to yell at a screen, high-five a stranger, or pretend we understand advanced metrics. It’s a shared language for people who might not agree on politics, but can agree that a blown save is a tragicomedy.
So next time you see that score pop up, don’t just glance. Nod. Smile. Remember that somewhere, a guy named Dave is texting a photo of his cat. And for those three hours, everything else can wait.
Bottom line? Whether it’s 10-3 or 2-1, the Blue Jays and Dodgers score is a perfect reminder that life is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes, a little bit magical. Now pass the chips and check your phone—you might have missed a double.
