The Blue Jays are dealing with a number of injuries, but even if they weren't, the season's just begun and there are still approximately 800 games left to be played this year. Sadly, Toronto's brand new soccer franchise has been outscored 9–0......

Raptors fans have had to suffer a lot of humiliation over the last few years: There was the Vince Carter trade debacle, there was the night that Kobe Bryant dropped 81 points, and there was the 1-15 start last season that had ESPN speculating that the Raptors might be one of the worst teams in NBA history. But, the absolute low-point for the franchise came on the afternoon of October 16, 2005 in a pre-season......

Toronto officials are currently engaged in a last-ditch effort to save the 2015 World's Fair. Is it just me or would the Expo be a colossal mistake? In semi-related news, Christopher Hume doesn't think Toronto is on the road to a better future. With election day fast approaching, David Miller makes his final campaign pledges. A Richmond Hill man, missing for 28 hours, turns up at a police station. I'd been counting down this......

After six long months, the Toronto Raptors season will finally be laid to rest tonight. Following a 4-1 start that seemed so promising, the boys managed just 29 wins over the next 76 games, leading into tonight's final matchup against Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. With confused fans wondering 'why in the heck?' Torontoist offers not one, but two reasons to take in tonight's game. First off, as with any funeral, loved ones come......

Listening to the Fan590 on the ride home last night, Torontoist was disturbed to hear the words idiots and applause when referring to tonight’s matchup between the Toronto Raptors and the New Jersey Nets. They suggest that it is inappropriate for Vince Carter to be punished for “quitting” the Raptors. Torontoist disagrees. TOist thinks Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment should have recalled all the tickets for tonight’s game and held a contest to find the......

Similar to a child's excitement prior to christmas morning, Torontoist will be tossing and turning in it's bed tonight. The terrible sleep will be credited to the anticipation of Vince Carter's return to the ACC tomorrow evening. With his New Jersey Nets only a game and a half back of the Philadlelpia 76ers for the Eastern Conference's eighth and final playoff spot, Vince's long awaited return to Toronto could be the game that decides his......

With Vince Carter merely an unfortunate memory to our fine city, another Toronto Raptor is filling the void left behind. Point guard Rafer Alston has disrupted the team once again this week, with rumors claiming that he started a fistfight with coach Sam Mitchell during halftime on Tuesday evening. And, in plain view of all the Cleveland fans, Alston appeared to leave the court in tears. Tears! There's no crying in basketball. In post VC......

Don’t look now, but the Toronto Raptors are only 2 games out of third place in the Eastern Conference. Currently sitting 10th, and three and a half games back of the streaking Chicago Bulls for the final playoff spot, the Raps can thank the NBA playoff structure and their abysmal Atlantic division for their opportunity at a home court playoff series. Despite how poor a record, the division leader is guaranteed a top-three seed. With......

With the year coming to an end, Torontoist takes a look back at the sporting highs and lows of the past 12 months. Here's the best, the worst, and of course, Vince Carter at his wimpiest in 2004. 1. Argos Win the Grey Cup What else can we say about Mike Clemons’ pinballs? With no hockey and a worthless NBA team, the CFL gave Toronto something to cheer about. 2. Ron Artest & the Indiana......

There's cause for celebration tonight: As you read this, the NBA is approving a proposed trade between the Toronto Raptors and the New Jersey Nets that would see the Vince Carter in a different uniform. A Raptor team that has struggled on and off the court this year is having it’s biggest tumor removed as General Manager Rob Babcock worked out a deal that will finally send Vinsanity packing. Raptor fans have consoled themselves with......
