Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
Dodgers 14 at Blue Jays 2 The last two games I recapped were one run, extra inning losses. Tonight was…not that. The Dodgers picked up right where they left off last fall when they were last here clubbing long balls, and it’s generally not going to be a good night when the other team has […]
The opening salvo of the three-game rematch of last year’s World Series was a one-sided affair, in which the Dodgers drubbed the Toronto Blue Jays 14-2 on Monday night at Rogers Centre. After scoring only seven runs in three games in a languid series against the Cleveland Guardians at home, the Dodgers offense has come […]
Coming off a 4-1 win over the Phillies on Sunday to prevent a home opener sweep, the Rockies also have more good news in the form of Ryan Feltner being able to take the mound today. Feltner looked sharp against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31. He’d thrown three scoreless innings with four strikeouts, […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in turmoil, as the team's culture has been on display, and it's horrid. A captain unprotected, a sophomore NHL player ( Matthew Knies ) chirping at a former fourth-line center, and general manager Brad Treliving getting fired. The situation continues to degrade, as speculation rises about where captain Auston Matthews, a Gold Medal winner with Team USA in Milan-Cortina, could land next in the NHL. Matthews' entire career has been spent with the To...
Let the World Series rematch commence. Monday game info
Brendan Shanahan has been biding his time since being let go by the Toronto Maple Leafs from his job as team president one year ago. He joined the NHL’s hockey operations department in an advisory capacity and has served as a Hockey Canada consultant. But he's still anxious to get back to leading a team's hockey operations, and according to Arthur Staple of The Athletic, the New Jersey Devils are the "best fit" if they look to bring in a new boss man. "The guy that's out ther...
The Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays are back at it on Tuesday night for the middle game of their series at Rogers Centre. Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts on the mound on Tuesday, looking for his fourth win in as many career games in Toronto. The other three just happened to be in the 2025 World Series, […]
The names are flying fast and furious for the front office openings in Toronto. The latest word from insider Elliotte Friedman is that we shouldn't expect Doug Armstrong to be leaving St. Louis to take a position with the Maple Leafs . "The timing isn't right," the insider reports on his 32 Thoughts Podcast. But he does name two other intriguing candidates whom he has heard are possibilities. I think they want to try something a bit different... One name I do think is g...
Blue Jays starting catcher will undergo surgery on his left thumb tomorrow, per John Schneider. Kirk’s thumb was broken and dislocated by a foul tip over the weekend. We had hope that it would be a relatively simple recovery, but the need for surgery would aeem to suggesr a more complex and severe injury and […]
Our counterparts at Bluebird Banter have a fun segment in which they reach out to the opposing team’s SB Nation page before an upcoming series. Accordingly, before the upcoming Toronto Blue Jays/Dodgers series, which is the second-fastest rematch in MLB history, Bryant Tefler asked me some more questions he had about the current state of the Dodgers. […]

Jaylen Brown has been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the third time this season after leading the Celtics to a 3-1 week. The Celtics tallied wins over the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, and Toronto Raptors, while averaging 31 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game. The Celtics’ only loss came in […]
It seems like only yesterday when the Dodgers won the World Series by winning the final two games on the road at Rogers Centre in Toronto, including coming back from down two runs in the eighth inning in Game 7, setting of a string of improbable highlights that beat the Blue Jays and brought a […]
Baseball is such a peculiar sport. The Chicago White Sox just swept the Toronto Blue Jays, and that’s indicative of exactly diddly squat about those two teams. What we know for a fact is that no matter the campaign the Blue Jays will have had at the end of the year, it’ll be possible to […]
Poor Raptors fans have PTSD over the Celtics. I remember one game before they won their championship when the Celtics were having Gino time during a big win and the Raptors' announcers said that's something the Celtics do after every game, not realizing it was just in big blowouts because the Celtics always blew them out. I love how much they respect and hate Payton Pritchard all at once. He's definitely an X-Factor. My favorites are in bold. What are yours?...
Not exactly the best week to face the Dodgers, as the Jays push through the weakest part of their schedule in 2026 going 4-5, topping it off being swept by the White Sox. The Jays have really struggled with their bullpen, with almost half their games going into extra innings, which is not something you […]
There was no sweep to be found for the Yankees on Sunday; just lots of rain and stranded runners, plus a bad eighth from the bullpen that doomed them. The Marlins salvaged the series finale, so the Yankees must content themselves on this offday with a 7-2 record to start the year that still has […]
Welcome to the Game Day Thread for the games in the week of 4/6. Pretty good week last week although the second period seems to be our kryptonite. Four games this week and we need some points in all. Still looking like a photo finish for that second wild card spot. Only a few more killer late starts (really killer for those of us in the Eastern Time Zone) and then we’ll finish out at home. Just a reminder – we’re always looking for new people to chat with and to be part of our community. ...
Bruce Cassidy is looking for work after being fired by the Vegas Golden Knights. However, if one team offers him a coaching position this summer, reports are he's likely going to hold off, and look elsewhere. Insert the Toronto Maple Leafs. A team that has limited direction at the moment and is in search of a new general manager, after Brad Treliving was recently fired. There's speculation brewing that CEO Keith Pelley is also going to let Craig Berube go at the end of the season, and if there...
The next Leafs boss needs to have the right opinion on Python vs R.
The Toronto Maple Leafs had a very up and down season and their inconsistencies were felt throughout their entire lineup. Forward Nick Robertson was one Maple Leaf who wasn't able to produce throughout the entire season, and heading into the offseason, there's a good chance Robertson is moved. The former second-round pick asked for a trade last offseason, but Brad Treliving denied the request and signed him to a one-year deal. Head coach Craig Berube doesn't fully trust Robertson, so even thou...
With the Toronto Maple Leafs having such a frustrating 2025-26 season, it is very likely that they will be making several changes to their roster this offseason. One trade candidate who should be watched closely during the offseason is defenseman Simon Benoit. Due to this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to acquire Benoit during the summer now. San Jose Sharks The Sharks should be on the hunt for defensive help this offseason, as they have several pending UFA bluel...
1. Big 4th Quarter Through the first three quarters of this game the Celtics looked like they were stuck in mud when it came to their offense. After having some huge first halves in back to back games, Boston only had 80 points going into the fourth quarter, keeping Toronto in the game. The Celtics […]
BOSTON — Nikola Vučević rejoined the Boston Celtics for Easter Sunday’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors. That was the plan, set nearly a month ago when he underwent surgery to stabilize his fractured right finger on March 7. At that time, Vučević had logged 12 appearances since being acquired at February’s trade deadline. He played […]
