Do you remember this time last year? Exactly one year ago yesterday, this happened. Holy crap, that was fun. Because that led to this. I sometimes have to remind myself that we didn't actually make the World Series last year, let alone win it. 2015 was special, despite falling short.

The Toronto Blue Jays have sent a Class A prospect to San Diego in exchange for Melvin Upton, Jr., who used to be known as B.J. Upton. Upton is hitting .256 with 16 home runs, 45 runs batted in and 20 stolen bases so far this year. He brings

Seven years ago, I shared a classic McCain's Punch ad featuring Toronto Blue Jay second baseman Roberto Alomar. Retrontario was sharing the ad and it brought back a ton of memories. That wasn't the original 1993 "Catch the Taste!" ad, however, which almost topped Retrontario's most wanted list. The hunt

Yesterday, I witnessed Edwin Encarnacion's 200th home run as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. It was the lone bright spot in a dreadful game. All the fun and excitement was happening down the street where my Raps played a ridiculous fourth quarter to escape with a big win

I had read an article yesterday that Munenori Kawasaki was looking to sign with a National League team, so I was ready for the big news my wife gave me this morning. My wife: Kawasaki is gone. He's a Chicago Cub now.Me: Good riddance to mediocre ballplayers!My wife:

The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired relief pitcher Drew Storen from the Washington Nationals in exchange for outfielder Ben Revere and a player to be named later. The Nationals will also send cash to the Blue Jays in the deal. Revere was a fun addition down the stretch and a

The Blue Jays have signed free-agent starter J.A. Happ to a three-year, $36 million contract. As smarter people than I will tell you, that ends the dream we'd re-sign David Price. Did you really think Price was coming back. I sure didn't. Price embodied the frenetic — and successful — approach

For the second time in franchise history, a Toronto Blue Jay has been named American League MVP. Josh Donaldson joins George Bell in this exclusive club, having received 23 of a possible 30 first-place votes to edge Mike Trout. Donaldson arrived from Oakland in a trade that had Brett Lawrie,

Following 22 years in the wilderness, the Blue Jays built up a lot of goodwill this season. I was personally obsessed with this team after the trade deadline, perhaps the greatest trade deadline of all-time. You can thank Alex Anthopoulos for that. Mark Shapiro, hired on the last day of

I'm a Toronto sports fan. That means I've experienced far more failures than successes over my four decades of life. In fact, my three favourite teams have won a combined two championships in my lifetime. That was back in '92 and '93 when my Jays won back-to-back World Series titles.

The Blue Jays hype train departed the station in late July, and hasn't really let up. With a big win yesterday, we're headed back to Kansas City for game six of the ALCS. These are indeed exciting times. For Jays fans, this has been a long time coming. If you're

Joe Carter took Mitch Williams deep in the ninth inning of game six of the 1993 World Series. It was October 23, 1993. Today is October 14, 2015, 8,026 days later. It's been 8,026 days since the Jays have won a playoff series. 8,026 days, but today

What the hell is John Gibbons doing with David Price? I'm ecstatic we've forced a game five tomorrow night at the dome, and I'm glad Marcus Stroman is getting the start, but for the life of me I don't understand why Gibbons is misusing our ace. Up 7-1 in the

Win it for Roy Halladay, the greatest starting pitcher in Blue Jays history. He won 148 games, a Cy Young Award and was all class during a dozen seasons in Toronto. To pitch in the postseason, he had to leave for Philadelphia. Win it for Carlos Delgado, the all-time leader
