The last time the Toronto Blue Jays touched post-season turf Jean Chretien was two days away from his first Majority Government, Aerosmith's Get a Grip was Billboard's #1 album and the Adorable Sports Writer was likely sporting an undershave. Sadly it's been one partially locked-out and ten full seasons since Joe Carter hit one of baseball's most memorable home runs. However during that span, some pretty decent teams have filled the Skydome/Rogers Centre's home dugout.......

The Blue Jays are playing their Grapefruit League home finale against the Philadelphia Phillies today. Opening Day starter and former Cy-Young award-winner Roy Halladay will take the mound in this 1993 World Series re-match. With their season beginning in Tampa Bay this upcoming Monday, there are various questions regarding the Jays in 05. Of utmost importance to their fortunes this year is the needed return of both Halladay and outfielder Vernon Wells to their 2003......

Is Toronto doomed to replace Montreal as the sports world's least desirable location? With the exception of the Bible-minded Blue Jay Cory Koskie, would the ultra religious sports community consider a city that allows same-sex marriage on par with the Miami's and L.A.'s?

Slick New York art dealer and Florida Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, the same man whose tight fists held the last nail that baseball drove into the Montreal Expos' coffin, has sold seven Mondrians and a DeKooning and brought Carlos to Miami. Five years, $64 million. The......

The 2004 Special Olympics Sports Celebrities Festival at Westin Harbour Castle’s Metropolitan Ballroom proved once again to be an overwhelming success. The annual charity dinner brought in $400-per-plate along with a host of local sports celebrities - and Toronto’s cutest sports writer was fortunate enough to attend last Wednesday night. Knowing that the busy ex-Blue Jay Carlos Delgado probably didn't catch Wednesday’s Torontoist sports post, I was pleased to be able to reiterate the thanks,......

"It’s a sad day but life goes on," said Carlos Delgado today as the Blue Jays decided NOT to retain his services for 2005. Rogers Communications and penny-pinching General Manager JP Ricciardi neglected to exercise the option to offer salary arbitration to their high priced superstar. In doing so, the organization all but guarenteed a losing season for 2005. Not to say that eliminating $19-million from your budget is penny-pinching, but Ricciardi’s insistence on this......
