1 hour ago What does Vladimir Guerrero Jr. always write in dirt with his bat?

When Vladimir Guerrero Jr. steps up to the plate for the Toronto Blue Jays, there's hardly a more anticipated moment in Canadian sports.During Sunday's Game 2 of the ALDS, Guerrero delivered easily his biggest moment yet as a member of the team, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the fourth inning that sent the Rogers Centre into a frenzy.While closing the game out ended up being a bit more of a chore than anticipated, Guerrero's moonshot gave Toronto a 9-0 lead and a real sense that maybe, just maybe, they'd actually be able to knock off their longtime rival, the New York Yankees.But before Guerrero stepped up to the plate for the at-bat, he took a moment for his traditional routine.What does the Blue Jays star Guerrero write in the ground with his bat?Guerrero is already eighth in all-time at-bats for the Blue Jays, and has made his way up all sorts of all-time team leaderboards since his MLB debut in 2019.Before his grand slam (and just about every ot...

2 h. ago Toronto's waterfront promenade just got a stunning new extension

Toronto just reclaimed a little more waterfront with the opening of an extension to the popular granite-paved promenade that stretches across the city's waterfront.The newest stretch of the Water's Edge Promenade is officially open in Toronto's burgeoning East Bayfront area, and this extension might just be the crown jewel of the path hugging the city's harbour.The East Bayfront gained its newest landmark when Aqualuna development wrapped construction this year, and in addition to the impressive architecture, new homes, and fancy community centre inaugurated in September, the project's completion has been complemented by an extension of the busy promenade east to the Parliament Slip.Waterfront Toronto announced the completion of the new extension this past weekend, opening up its six-metre-wide path — complete with the promenade's signature mosaic maple leaf pattern — around the south and east sides of Aqualuna.Among the promenade extension's ...

14 h. ago A groovy new pizza place is replacing a neighbourhood favourite in Toronto

A Toronto restaurant that was a local favourite is about to be replaced by a trendy new pizza joint.Toronto is riddled with so-called "hidden gems:" those if-you-know-you-know spots good enough to contend with the most buzzworthy of institutions that, for whatever reason, go virtually undetected by people outside the neighbourhood.For Harbord Village residents, up until February of 2025, one such spot was Borden Street's Think It Cafe.A cozy, homey cafe that served up Italian paninis, baked goods from Amico Chef and coffee, Think It stood as a certified neighbourhood staple for seven years before a series of obstacles piled up high enough for the cafe to ultimately close its doors.There's good news on the horizon for the neighbourhood, though: a new venture is preparing to keep up the Italian tradition in Think It Cafe's former home at 196 Borden St., albeit with a different dish.    View this post on Instagram    &n...

25 h. ago Dejected Yankees broadcasters left in stunned silence by Vladdy Jr.'s huge grand slam

The New York Yankees and their collective fan base may be having nightmares of Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.The Blue Jays have gotten off to as good a start in the ALDS as one could have hoped, as they hold a 2-0 series lead over the Yankees and have outscored them 23-8. Guerrero has played a huge role in that, smacking two long balls to go with a staggering .667 and six RBI.While Guerrero was outstanding in Game 1, it was his grand slam in Game 2 that really put a stamp on this series so far. The 26-year-old stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth inning and hit a moon shot for the first-ever grand slam in Blue Jays postseason history.VLADIMIR GUERRERO JR. GRAND SLAM ‼️🤯 #PostseasonWHAT A SCENE AT ROGERS CENTRE 🗣️ pic.twitter.com/6yXNsvSiyn— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) October 5, 2025While Blue Jays fans were absolutely loving it, Yankees faithful had a much different reaction.

25 h. ago When will Toronto Blue Jays rookie phenom Trey Yesavage pitch next?

The Toronto Blue Jays found their newest postseason legend on Sunday.Rising up through the minor leagues at a rapid rate, the Jays' 2024 first-round draft pick, Trey Yesavage, has been one of the biggest stories of the entire postseason.Pitching 5.1 no-hit innings and earning a franchise-record 11 strikeouts in a postseason game, Yesavage put up a performance few Blue Jays fans would ever forget.But as much fun as his Game 2 performance in a win over the New York Yankees was for Blue Jays fans, it's hopefully one that the youngster will be able to build off of. After all, you don't win a World Series with just one good performance, but ideally a few strung together over the course of several playoff rounds.And in a sport where it's as much about your next game as the last one, fans are already wondering when they'll get to see their new star again.When can Yesavage pitch next for the Blue Jays?Although his first playoff game was historic, Yesavage has actual...

27 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 ...

29 h. ago Here's why the Toronto Blue Jays pulled Trey Yesavage in historic Yankees beatdown

Even in perhaps the best two-game stretch of his entire run as Toronto Blue Jays manager, John Schneider knows that he's not always going to be the most popular guy in town.On Sunday, Schneider's Blue Jays pulled off a game anyone in attendance will probably never forget.While Toronto scored 13 runs on the day to take a 2-0 series lead over the New York Yankees, the biggest star of the game was starting pitcher Trey Yesavage, who put on one of the best performances anyone's ever had wearing a Jays uniform.In just 5.1 innings of work (and only his fourth-ever MLB start), the 22-year-old rookie made Jays postseason history with a franchise-record 11 strikeouts on the day, giving up no hits and just one walk.But he actually could've probably had a better performance, had he not been pulled after just 78 pitches. More than half-way to what would've been the first no-hitter in Blue Jays playoff history, Schneider decided he'd rather play the percentages and let Ye...
