Happy Monday. I will admit, I’m ok with no longer having GameThreads and Game Recaps hanging over my head every day. Getting into the off-season routine will take a few days; there is enough to discuss about the season just passed to carry us through to the new year. The Jays have four days where […]

Former Blue Jays reliever Paul Quantrill turns 57 today. He spent six seasons with the Jays and pitched in 386 games, sixth in team history for games (and no one will be passing him soon). His best season with the Jays was 1997, when he had a 1.94 ERA in 77 relief appearances. He had […]

Welcome to my weekly monthly very occasional NHL Grab Bag, a feature that, it may surprise you to learn, has tended to focus on the NHL. In theory, I should continue that trend this week. But that would involve a level of dishonesty, because I’d be implying that hockey’s been the top sport on my mind lately. And as all my fellow good Canadians know, that’s just not the case. No, we’re all about the Toronto Blue Jays up here, as they sit one win away from an unlikely World Series championship. ...

As a Toronto Blue Jays fan, I did not expect to feel further disappointment after losing Game 7 of the World Series in extra innings. Leave it to the Detroit Lions to make a bad weekend even worse for me. Coming off a bye week, the Lions were heavily favored against the Minnesota Vikings—they were […]

Another sport rarely takes precedence over hockey on a Saturday night in Canada, but that was the case on November 1 as the Blue Jays faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series. The fans in attendance at Rogers Place for the Oilers vs. Blackhawks game wanted to root for the…

It is a perfectly fine and normal reaction this morning to have woken up and proclaimed that the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series last night. In a perfect world, they’d have. In the real world, the pretty much kind of did, for a bit, and that’s enough for most of us. That the […]

I was up late last night (a.k.a. early this morning) looking for a World Series comp that my football-loving audience here at BN Bears would understand. Before nodding off to dreamland, I landed on the idea of the Blue Jays losing Games 6 and 7 (and, ultimately, the World Series) was the baseball version of the 49ers last two Super Bowl losses. Both teams had leads and command of the game against juggernaut favorites, only to not cash in on opportunities before the big baddies came through wit...

With a few sleepless hours between us and the end of the World Series, I want to give a hat tip to several Blue Jays players. Yesterday’s game hurt, but this was an incredible ride and a fantastic team. I learned a lot about how a team that pulls for each other can do more […]

The 2025 season is officially in the books, as the Dodgers defeated the Blue Jays in an extra-inning Game 7 thriller. LA never led until they took a one-run advantage in the 11th inning after whittling away at Toronto’s 3-0 start, and try as they might to rally the Blue Jays hit into a double […]

UPDATED! . . . WORDS! . . . PICS! . . . TYPOS! (probably) Dodgers - 000 101 011 01 - 5 11 0 Blue Jays - 003 001 000 00 - 4 14 0 It was only the sixth World Series Game 7 to need extra innings. And it ended up being one of the most memorable Game 7s of all time. How the Los Angeles Dodgers, down by two runs with only eight outs remaining, rallied to tie and eventually win the game (and the World Series) in eleven innings, while also snuffing out three harrowing potential ral...

For two years, I have felt like a prophet extolling the virtues of a flexible, pitching demigod that I actually taller than: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He stopped the most prolific offense left in the postseason tournament, the Toronto Blue Jays. For his efforts, Yamamoto was named World Series MVP after closing out Saturday’s win in Game […]

Seven […]

While the Blue Jays would lose Game 7 of the World Series to the L.A. Dodgers in the 11th inning, the Oilers’ extra…

Dodgers 5 Blue Jays 4 (11 innings) Frustrating game, but the Jays did an amazing job this year. A two outs short of a win in Game Seven. I’m not doing a ‘normal’ recap today. Just random thoughts: I feel so lucky to get to do this. This was a tough loss, but it was […]
