9 d. ago Toronto Blue Jays game won't be televised Friday and here's how to see it

The biggest series of the Toronto Blue Jays' season is set to get underway in a short time versus the Tampa Bay Rays.The Blue Jays were able to pick up a massive 6-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, keeping them in the top spot of the AL East Division. That said, the New York Yankees also picked up a victory over the Chicago White Sox, meaning the Jays have zero margin for error.Fans from all across the country will want to tune in to Friday's game, though they won't find it on their usual channel.

2 w. ago Toronto Blue Jays players clap back after U.S. broadcaster insults Canadians

Toronto Blue Jays players are taking a stand after a Baltimore Orioles broadcaster insulted the intelligence of Canadian baseball fans on Friday night.The incident began after fans at Rogers Centre rained down boos after Baltimore pitcher Shawn Dubin threw to first, trying to pick off Myles Straw.
