Each weekday morning, we pick a recent image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve! Yesterday, we featured the Toronto FC in the Daily Photoist, but we can't forget how spring also reveals our Boys of Summer. This minimalist shot of Jays centrefielder Vernon Wells was captured by dave_in_t_o, and we like how it......

Police watchdog groups are outraged over the revelation that Rexdale traffic cops had a system wherein officers were allowed to clock out early once they got 25 traffic tickets. Speeders, on the other hand, are furious that nobody told them about this system, the knowledge of which would have made real life re-enactments of 2 Fast 2 Furious all the simpler. (Although there still would have been the inevitable fights over who got to......

Despite prior controversy, this news is too good to let pass. Sunday was a sad day for The Jays as they capped a nice winning streak with a 11-6 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Ouch.

After giving up three runs during an eighth inning South African rally, Ernie Whitt's team found themselves heading to the ninth trailing by a run.

Here's the ABC's of the Jay's off-season thus far: A - Bobby Abreu, a Phillies slug-meister the Jays have been interested in. B - BJ Ryan, the second BJ on......

The Blue Jays made good use of the longball in their regular season-opener Monday afternoon. Orlando Hudson, Vernon Wells and Eric Hinske all went yard in the team’s disposal of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The three homeruns accounted for all of the Jays scoring in the 5-2 victory. 2003 Cy-Young award winner Roy Halladay looked strong in the effort, surrendering just a pair of runs and striking out seven over his seven innings of......

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.
