4 h. ago New York Yankees manager claps back at Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez

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.

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...

Toronto real estate has no shortage of glassy new builds and cookie-cutter flips, but every so often, a house comes along that feels like it belongs in both an architectural magazine and a fever dream.Enter 38 Purdon Dr., a ravine-side 1960s modernist with cathedral ceilings, a sunroom bar that literally glows, and a backyard waterfall fed by rainwater.From the street, you know you're not in typical North York territory.The front entrance. The façade glows pink at night, with what can only be described as dinosaur-egg decals on its exterior. 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? About 5,000 square feet spread across three and a half levels, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two kitchens, and four separate entrances.The foyer.&nb...
