Jays 2 Yankees 0 I’m thinking it is time to forget about the ‘opener’ thing for Spencer Miles, just start him. But then again, if it ain’t broke…. Miles was amazing, 4.1 innings, 2 hits, 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. He was unhittable . I want him keeping the fifth starter role. He was awarded […]

Just in case I don’t get home before game time, use this as the game thread. I expect to be home before, but best laid plans and all. I’m looking forward to seeing how Spencer Miles does tonight. He’s been terrific in this role. I’m thinking they could skip the opener thing, but i don’t […]
Though the Yankees and Blue Jays remain 7.5 games apart in the AL East standings, the first three games of this four-game set between them have each been decided by a single run. Last night, the Yankees failed to support Cam Schlittler’s strong start as their nemesis Trey Yesavage dominated them again. Thanks to the […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting one of the biggest power-hitting bats in the organization to the Major Leagues. First baseman/outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez is expected to join the Pirates in Toronto on Friday before the Pirates begin a three-game series against the Blue Jays. BBWAA member Francys Romero was first to report the promotion. Regarded as […]
'We’ve cried about this cup. We’ve laughed about it. We’ve dreamt about it, and now it’s ours,' Stacey said. Poulin was named PWHL Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP.
With the Raptors’ offseason begun in full force, the franchise has seen its rookie receive the team’s first major individual award of the 2025-26 season. Collin Murray-Boyles has been named to the All-Rookie Second Team, the first Toronto player to receive the award since Scottie Barnes in 2022. It has been a stellar season for […]
It is nice to get a one-run win for a change. They are 5-10 in one run games. I expect that to level off some. There is a bunch of little bits of Jays news: I had thought the strike zone was pretty big last night, but I was wrong, Sorry Brock. Non-Jays, but wouldn’t […]
Scott Laughton was thrilled to be headed to his hometown team when the Toronto Maple Leafs dealt for him at the 2025 trade deadline. But after a full calendar year, he was sent to the Los Angeles Kings at this year's deadline, though with the thought that maybe he could return this summer as an unrestricted free agent. As it turned out, Laughton quite enjoyed his time in LA, as his ice time was boosted by two minutes a game with the Kings. Accordingly, his production went up, and he was ...
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, sets everyone up for more exit interviews tonight as three of the four teams and Survivor: NHL Playoffs entrants will deliver their thoughts on what happened with those teams!

Of course, there will be some hockey chatter as well so get yourself settled in for The Hockey...
The Yankees dropped the third game of their series against the Blue Jays, losing a narrow pitchers’ duel between Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage. Schlittler matched Yesavage zero for zero on the scoreboard until the seventh inning, when the hits finally poured over and loaded the bases before he walked one in and was pulled. […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs are not done reshaping their roster after firing Craig Berube and naming John Chayka as GM. The blue line is next. David Pagnotta confirmed that Chayka is expected to pursue trade discussions involving both Morgan Rielly and Brandon Carlo this summer, with the defensive corps overhaul described as a top organizational priority. "Augmenting the blue line is a priority for Chayka, and he insinuated moves to the defensive corps are on the horizon," Pagnotta wrote. "W...
Blue Jays 2 Yankees 0 The game was delayed two hours because of rain in New York. That was a nerve-racking game. No one scored until the Jays got two in the top of the seventh. Smart work by the Jays to save the scoring til late to give less time for the Yankees to […]
It was a good, ol’ fashioned pitchers’ duel in the Bronx on Wednesday night, one that we had to wait patiently for due to a lengthy rain delay. Two young, burgeoning aces who burst on the scene during last year’s postseason went toe-to-toe in a big midweek divisional matchup, and it lived up to the […]
With Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez already on the shelf after injuries suffered within the past month in two separate series against the Texas Rangers, the organization’s outfield depth is being stretched thin. Unfortunately, the hits kept on coming during Wednesday night’s game against the Blue Jays, following a two-hour rain delay. Center fielder Trent […]
The weather may not be bright, but the Yankees’ spirits are probably a little brighter after taking the first two games of this series against Toronto. They haven’t been pretty, but after the abysmal road trip New York suffered, back-to-back wins could be just the thing to jumpstart them back into high gear, and they […]
A scintillating starting pitching matchup is on tap in the Bronx tonight, as young phenoms Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage are supposed to go toe-to-toe. Both right-handers broke out late in 2025, with Schlittler earning a rotation spot down the stretch for the Yankees and then dominating the Red Sox in his playoff debut to […]

The official verdict is in. And it's another huge blow to the Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff. Starter Jose Berrios went under the knife on Wednesday to address the stress fracture in his elbow, and once Dr. Keith Meister got inside, it was apparent that a full Tommy John surgery was the only option. Jose Berrios ended up needing full Tommy John surgery, which was performed today, said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. The stress fracture in the elbow ended up damaging the ligament. He’...
The Philadelphia Flyers are among the teams looking to upgrade their goaltending situation this summer. While career backup Dan Vladar provided more than they could have hoped for in a starting role this season, Samuel Ersson left plenty to be desired as his understudy. Philly is looking for a new tandem partner for Vladar. While the Flyers are open to locking up Vladar if the price is right (he has one year remaining on his deal and is eligible for an extension July 1), they are fully a...
David Wells turns 63 today. David Wells was born in Torrance, California. Stories claim his mother was a ‘biker chick’ with five children from four fathers, and that he was raised by Hell’s Angels. True or not, it adds color to his background. The Blue Jays picked him in the second round of the 1982 […]
It’s heart attack hotel with this Yankees relief corps, but the bullpen managed to survive another ninth inning comeback attempt to secure consecutive one-run victories over the Blue Jays. It’s made all the more important that they managed to win on a day when Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease was starting, Ryan McMahon and Ben […]
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka was flying down to Arizona to meet with captain Auston Matthews and if the two can't get on the same page on the team's direction this offseason, Matthews is expected to ask for a trade. The Leafs captain wasn't committal to anything during his end-of-season media availability, with his infamous quote stating 'I can't predict the future', even though he's under contract for two more seasons. It caught a lot of people off guard in Toronto, and now...
Nick Robertson made it very clear during his exit interview that it's time for his next NHL chapter. According to sources connected to the Maple Leafs, Robertson was very transparent during his exit interview, informing the folks he met with that he feels a change of scenery could be exactly what he needs at this point of his career, and he prefers to be traded at some point this offseason. This isn't the first time Robertson asked out, as former GM Brad Treliving tried to ship him to Columbus...
