Last night, while I watched the Penguins and Flyers, the Blue Jays turned their first triple play since 1979.  At least it was the first triple play called properly by an umpire, but more on that later. With the runners moving in the third inning, Eric Hosmer hit a sinking

A streaker ran on the Ballpark-Formerly-Known-As-SkyDome field during yesterday's game.  Here's a pic: In my day, streakers stripped bare before running on the field.  Just saying...

We're minutes away from first pitch and another Blue Jays season.  I've loved this team for as long as I can remember, and we Jays fans were spoiled for a solid decade from 1983-1993. Who's your favourite Blue Jay player of all time?  We've had some good ones, from Dave

YouTube user Retrontario frequently uploads fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems.  These clips never fail to bring back a ton of memories for me, so I feature them from time to time. In 1986, McDonald's sold Blue Jay hats for $1.99.  For a stylish and comfortable summer look,  Mens summer hats offer

It was almost four years ago that I begged the Blue Jays to bring back their old logo.  That old Jays logo is the only one I'll wear.  I love how the double blues are complemented by a healthy dose of Canadian red (with actual maple leaf!) popping on white.

The kids and I had been talking about this afternoon's game for weeks.  I bought three tickets for the Jays vs. Rays at the diamond formerly known as Skydome, decked the kids out in Jays gear, and got there early.  We don't get to many games, so we cross our

John McDonald and Aaron Hill have been traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks for second baseman Kelly Johnson. We all love McDonald, but he's a veteran utility infielder, and Aaron Hill was beloved until he stopped hitting.  Let's remember Johnny Mac and Aaron Hill via these two entries from the archives.

ESPN says there are signs of trouble here in Toronto.  A mysterious man in white was apparently responsible for tipping off Jays hitters about which pitch was coming. If you're wondering how the man in white kept his whites white, wonder know more.  The Jays use Javex. I'm starting the

With Brett Lawrie set to make his MLB debut tonight at 3rd base, it's time to update the list of Canadians who have played for the Blue Jays.

This entry isn't for the die-hard Jays fans.  If you still watch them daily, and check the box scores each night, wait for the next entry. That one might be about Bev and her new date tomorrow night... This entry is for the casual Blue Jays fans, or those who

I considered titling this entry "We Want Whitt", for my brother Ryan.  In the 80s, when the Jays played their home games and Exhibition Stadium, that ugly orange scoreboard would get the crowd chanting "We want a hit! We want a hit!". Ryan, a huge Ernie Whitt fan, was sure

Join me in my time machine, friends.  We're going back to 1985... In 1985, I listened to or watched every inning of every Jays game.  We clinched our very first AL East pennant that year, and faced the Kansas City Royals in the ALCS.  Here's a relic from my scrapbook

In the late-90s, I had many lengthy discussions about the Blue Jays with Bridget.  Bridget didn't grow up with the game, but she adopted the Jays as her team in the mid-80s when pennant races were the norm. We'd talk about Carlos Delgado, and Pat Hentgen, and reminisce about WAMCO

When I was growing up, I loved reading baseball boxscores.  I was a stat junkie, particularly when it came to my Blue Jays, in a simpler time before the WAR. WAR stands for "wins above replacement", and it is used to show how many more wins a player would give

Fellow Jays fans will get a kick out of this bit called "The Hitman" that stars our very own Joey Bats. Nice cameo by Bobby Bacala.

The Jays lost yesterday.  It was Jo-Jo Reyes' 28th consecutive start without earning a victory, matching the major league record. Reyes hasn't been the winning pitcher since June 13, 2008, when he beat the Los Angeles Angels as a member of the Atlanta Braves. His 28-game winless stretch matches that

Even before his 3-home run game yesterday, you heard the chatter.  Jose Bautista is the best player in baseball today. Bautista, who led the majors with 54 home runs in 2010, is batting .415 with 13 homers and 21 RBIs his last 19 games. He's actually ahead of last year's
