3 h. ago MLB legend David Ortiz eviscerates Yankees after Toronto Blue Jays slugfest

David Ortiz might not exactly be the biggest fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, but there's no doubt who he's cheering for in the American League Wild Card Series.Ortiz, a 10-time All-Star during his 14 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, seemed to be taking quite the pleasure in seeing the Blue Jays demolish the New York Yankees during their first two playoff games.While Toronto still needs to win one more game to advance to the American League Championship Series, they've certainly looked the part in their first two games. Scoring 23 runs over two days, Ortiz was in full-on trolling mode over his hated Yankees rivals."They can bring Jesus back, and they're still going to go to Cancun," Ortiz said on Fox's postgame show. "It's over. It's a wrap, just so you know. This Toronto Blue Jays lineup ain't playing around."Ortiz got the ability to chirp a few old rivals in Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, both of whom were two of the biggest faces ...

40 h. ago Guerrero shows love to Toronto Blue Jays fans after Yankee playoff beatdown

The Toronto Blue Jays hadn't won a playoff game since 2016. That changed in emphatic fashion on Saturday at Rogers Centre.Toronto jumped out to an early 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees thanks to home runs from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk. They ended the contest with a commanding 10-1 win.There was a bit of drama for the Jays in the sixth inning, as New York loaded the bases with Aaron Judge at the plate when the score was 2-1. However, Kevin Gausman struck him out, and the Jays escaped the inning, only allowing one run.Blue Jays batters took over in the seventh and eighth innings, pounding in eight more runs en route to the victory.This win was a long time coming for this Blue Jays core, and specifically, Guerrero."Every time we come here, we do it for the fans," Guerrero told Sportsnet's Hazel Mae after the game."My first homer here at home, that feels amazing."The Montreal-born slugger got the party started during his first at-bat, smash...

Don't expect the New York Yankees to be underestimating the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of their first-ever postseason meeting.Sure, the Blue Jays might've come into the year with muted expectations, while the Yankees were fresh off a World Series appearance.But 162 regular season games (and one Wild Card series for the Yankees) later, and it's New York who's heading into Toronto without home field advantage for the American League Division Series starting on Saturday.And the Yankees' biggest star, two-time AL MVP Aaron Judge, had kind things to say about the Blue Jays after his Yankees knocked off the Boston Red Sox in a winner-take-all Wild Card Game 3 on Thursday night."They're a complete team. They don't strike out a lot. So they're gonna put the ball in play. They're gonna force your hand on defence. We're looking forward to that. Toronto is going to be rocking.
