“People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.” – Rogers Hornsby, MLB player/manager 1915-1953 With a 9-1 win over the Reds in Montreal on Saturday afternoon, Spring Training has finally wrapped up and it’s time to […]
‘Twas month the before Christmas… and that meant kids were starting to eat chocolate from their advent calendars. But why should kids have all the fun? Since today is the 1st of December, and we’ve officially entered “Countdown to Christmas” mode, I decided to put together a Blue Jays Advent Calendar with a list of players […]
It’s Friday, September 12 and the Toronto Blue Jays have 17 games remaining on the schedule, including tonight’s series opener versus AL East rival Tampa Bay. So… what does this mean? Well, the Jays are currently 10.5 games behind the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East lead – but they are only 3.5 games behind […]
If you’ve been paying attention to the world of baseball, particularly, you know that the Toronto Blue Jays are the hottest team in baseball right now. For a lifelong Blue Jays fan, it’s been a little hard to process. It’s been 21 years since our boys of summer made the playoffs. 21 years since they […]
Spring Training is in full swing and the Blue Jays are getting ready for action. And while the fans didn’t get most of the changes that we wanted (starting pitching, I’m looking at you), we do get a whole new season with enough reasons to be excited for the 2014 baseball season. 1) Spring Training […]
It’s the 23rd of Movember and that means that we are now in the home stretch… It’s been a great month so far, with moustaches all over the city of Toronto… and the world. The last week has been pretty darn good to me. Last Saturday I hit the Marlies game with friends and saw […]
Blue Jays fans far and wide can agree on one thing, the 2013 baseball season has been a disappointment. Yes, this team has surpassed the 73 win season from 2012… but we were all expecting more than 74 wins this year. Over the next few days and weeks you’re going to see a lot of […]
After the 2013 season ends for the Toronto Blue Jays we will immediately start asking what needs to change for next season so we don’t see a repeat performance in 2014. The outfield is one of the things that has some room for change/improvement/opportunity. Currently the depth chart shows Melky Cabrera ($8m) in left field, […]
I’m 31 years old, and as most of you are aware, a life-long Toronto Blue Jays fan. And with Carlos Delgado being added to the Level of Excellence at Rogers Centre today I’ve been thinking about the best players I’ve seen in a Blue Jays jersey in my time as a fan. Note: The All-Star […]
So the Blue Jays have been pretty darn hot over the last few weeks. They’ve found the .500 mark again, they can see the Wildcard and Division leaders in their sights and they believe that they have a chance to make something happen. The question becomes, what can the Blue Jays do over the next […]
Opening Day is less than a week away! I’m not sure if you know how cool it feels for me to be able to say that. I love it. So much. And because the season is coming (look into the distance, you can see it) it’s time to make some predictions that may or may […]
With the Major League Baseball season only weeks away, it’s time to look at a preview of the Toronto Blue Jays and what might happen in this 2013 season of hope. I’ve got a list of 5 players who I think are of the utmost importance to the success of the team and also some […]
It’s a new year sports fans. And that means new goals and hopes and dreams and realities. Today it seems there is a lot of hope that the Toronto Blue Jays will make the MLB playoffs in 2013. More than a few of you have searched the term: blue jays will make playoffs and have landed on […]
22 years ago Pat Gillick and the Toronto Blue Jays made the biggest trade in franchise history when they moved Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez to the San Diego Padres for Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar. We all know how that turned out. 3 straight AL East titles, 2 pennants, 2 World Series trophies, Robbie’s […]
Over 30 years ago, in 1981, 3 young outfielders took the field together in Toronto Blue Jays uniforms. As the years passed they grew up in the city and with the fans. They anchored a team that was on the rise. And in 1985 they helped the Blue Jays win their first AL East title. […]
