Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
For the Astros’ fan, deprived of any meaningful games since late September, this World Series might not seem worth watching. Hard to blame the Houston fan for thinking that. The only notable Astros news centers on the purges of coaches/trainers and the signing of a depth piece at pitcher. Still, a World Series is a […]
It’s a huge day in Toronto sports history, but for the Raptors, it’s just game no. 2 of 82. The Toronto Raptors will welcome the Milwaukee Bucks at Scotiabank Arena for their home opener tonight, but the attention of everyone will be just two blocks down the street. With the Blue Jays playing game 1 […]
I figured Bo Bichette was going to be on the roster. Ty France was a surprise, but I guess they want him as a pitch hitter against the Dodgers left-hander pitchers. Joey Loperfido and Yariel Rodriguez. Rodriguez has had a tough time of it lately, giving up three earned and two home runs in one […]
The Milwaukee Bucks secured an opening-night win over the Washington Wizards, 133-120, but now they face their first road test of the season, traveling north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors. Milwaukee took the season series against Toronto last year, 3-0. The last time these two teams met was January 17, when […]
Happy Friday A’s fans! The 2025 World Series begins tonight in Toronto as the Blue Jays host the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first game of the series. As the #1 seed the Jays get home-field advantage thus getting to host the first two games before the series shifts to LA. Still, let there be […]
Chris Colabello turns 42 today. The Blue Jays picked up Chris off waivers from the Twins before the 2015 season. In two seasons with the Twins, he hit .214/.284/.364, with 13 home runs in 114 games. So we can be excused for not being excited about a 31-year-old who could play first or DH but […]
Big Dumper, we hardly knew ye. Yes, I know I’m a hockey columnist, and we’ll get to that. But the big news up in Canada these days is all about baseball, with the Blue Jays dramatic Game 7 win over the Mariners on Monday sending them to the World Series, which starts tonight in Toronto. It won’t shock you to learn that I’m a Blue Jays fan and have been since I was a little kid, so I’m obviously thrilled to see the team make it back to the top of the mountain after three decades. But I ha...
In the off chance you weren’t aware, the World Series officially begins tonight when the Toronto Blue Jays host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the best of seven series. Blake Snell will take the mound for the Dodgers against Trey Yesavage for the Blue Jays at 8pm tonight. The Dodgers are looking to […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The world’s biggest Toronto Blue Jays fan has arrived to discuss tonight’s World Series Game 1 between the Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Rogers Centre in Toronto. Taking the mound for the Dodgers will be left-hander and former/not-forever Giant Blake Snell, who finished the regular season with […]
Today is the big day! The World Series kicks off this weekend between the predicted juggernauts the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the surprise AL win-leaders the Toronto Blue Jays. While Cubs fans would much rather they were still in the mix, and Mariners fans are still mourning their best postseason run yet, there will be […]
33 years ago today The Blue Jays won their first World Series. It seems our first World Series win isn’t as celebrated as our second one, likely because it didn’t end in a walk-off homer. But it did end with Joe Carter jumping up and down. Game 6 was a 4-3, 11-inning win. We were […]
The culmination of the 2025 Major League Baseball season is here, with the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the Toronto Blue Jays for this year’s World Series title. Of course, the Detroit Tigers were a part of the postseason action, but they faltered in the ALDS against the Seattle Mariners in a white-knuckle five-game series. […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Our torturous hiatus from baseball is over. After a three-day break following the Championship Series round, the World Series begins tonight. It’ll be the Dodgers (bleh) against the Blue Jays (yuck) in a matchup in which I, personally, will be rooting for the meteor. First pitch of Game 1 is scheduled […]
*Well, that sure was a hockey game last night, huh? Something like that. RECAP ! *We got a little update from the org yesterday on the progress being made by Rasmus Risotlainen, who is a real person, and also Oliver Bonk. [ BSH ] *Owen Tippett is having himself a great start to the season, which is cool, but apparently he is also the team DJ? Which is kind of even cooler?? [ Inquirer ] *We were all a little worried about what kind of season Cam York might have after missing the ...
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed the World Series, cruise ships, Oilers vs. Habs, and much more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look ahead at the…
After Thursday’s practice, Craig Berube discussed his new line combinations with Matthews-Nylander and Knies-Tavares, John Tavares closing in on 500 career goals, Scott Laughton and Morgan Rielly’s status, and withstanding Chris Tanev’s absence. Practice Lines – October 23 Leafs lines at practice McMann – Matthews – NylanderKnies – Tavares – MaccelliJoshua – Roy – Cowan […] The post Craig Berube on shaking up his lines again: “I don’t have much patience… I like results” appeared first on M...
The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for something to shake up their forward group, and for now, a shuffling of the lines will have to do. But according to insider Pierre LeBrun, speaking on TSN Insider Trading , the Leafs are among the teams checking in with the Columbus Blue Jackets on disgruntled forward Yegor Chinakhov. The 24-year-old started the season with three straight healthy scratches, and has played an average of just 8:41 per game in the three contests he's played of la...
The good injury luck the Bucks had going into the regular season didn’t last long at all. Just 10 minutes into the season opener against the Washington Wizards, the new starting point guard, Kevin Porter Jr., suffered a left ankle sprain. It happened after he accidentally stepped on Bobby Portis’s foot while defending Cam Whitemore […]
The Game One starting pitchers for the World Series have been named. Blake Snell will be getting the start for the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Trey Yesavage will be starting for the Toronto Blue Jays. Snell only made 11 regular season starts for the Dodgers but was excellent in those outings, putting up a 2.35 […]
I was sure Kevin Gausman would start game one, but I was wrong. Trey Yesavage is getting tomorrow’s start. He’ll be the second youngest pitcher ever to start a game one. Ralph Branca, who started for the Dodgers way back in 1947 was the youngest, 21 and 267 days. Right now, one of my kids […]
On October 23rd in 2008, Boston Bruins power forward Milan Lucic delivered a crushing check against Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Van Ryn shattering the TD Garden glass early in the second period of play. Neither player was injured during the incident though a few front row fans were cut by glass. Toronto beat Boston that night by a score of 4-2. That's today in NHL history.
I know, I know, the Brewers aren’t in the World Series. It’s unfortunate. Still, it will be an interesting series (with potential collective bargaining ramifications!) as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays take the field. Check out some of the connections these teams have to Wisconsin and the Brewers here! The Dodgers are […]
Happy Thursday. Tomorrow we has something we haven’t seen for 32 years, the Blue Jays in the World Series. Ben Nicholson-Smith tells us that Bo Bichette has been taking balls at second base. I’ve always thought that second would be his position. But expecting him to learn a new position for the World Series is, […]
The 2025 World Series is set! The National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers will attempt to win their second consecutive championship, and standing in their way, are the American League champs, the Toronto Blue Jays. I understand that many Phillies fans might have lost interest in the baseball playoffs as soon as Orion Kerkering threw […]
After years of bouncing around pro hockey, the veteran defenseman has finally found a home team in the Connecticut capital.
