In a game where your greenest rookie simply overpowers the best hitting team in baseball, and your franchise first baseman has a grand slam, it’s easy for other players to get lost in the shuffle. Not that any of those players cares much beyond the win and the 2-0 lead they take to New York […]

13 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays got totally disrespected by American media in Yankees series predictions

The Toronto Blue Jays have home-field advantage. They also beat the New York Yankees in eight of 13 games this season, including victories in six of seven games against the Yanks at Rogers Centre.Don't tell that to American media members, who don't seem to be taking the Blue Jays seriously.Most U.S. media outlets believe the Yankees will emerge victorious over Toronto during the first-ever meeting between these two teams in the postseason.On MLB.com, about two-thirds of their writers said that the Yankees will prevail against the Blue Jays, despite being the lower seed. They highlighted Bo Bichette's absence and the emergence of New York pitcher Camerom Schlittler as factors that could be the difference in the series.That slant towards the Yankees comes off as tame compared to other outlets.A panel of five CBS Sports writers all unanimously picked the Yankees to beat the Jays, although all of their writers said the series would go to a decisive Game 5."I question th...

It's been nearly a month since Buck Martinez criticized the New York Yankees.However, his comments haven't been forgotten.When the Blue Jays beat the Houston Astros on Sept. 9, the story wasn't about the final result (a 4-3 Toronto win). What most remember from that game were Martinez's comments in the seventh inning when he found out that the Detroit Tigers were pounding the Yankees."You know, the Yankees, they're not a good team. I don't care what their record is. They have a lot of wild pitches, they make a lot of mistakes in the field, they don't run the bases very well. If they don't hit home runs, they don't have a chance to win."Well, turns out that neither the fans nor Yankees manager Aaron Boone have forgotten his comments.“Contrary to some thoughts up here, we’re a really good team," Boone told reporters on Friday.Just in case it wasn't clear who Boone was talking about, he later clarified."I know...

And the deeper you go, the stranger it gets.The living room. Originally designed by a local architect in the mid-'60s, the home was completely reimagined in 2002 and again in 2024, fusing mid-century bones with eclectic modern finishes.The dining room. The result?
