5 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...

25 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. 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...

62 h. ago Ontario once had very bizarre McDonald's locations but they're gone forever

Although most McDonald's locations in Ontario look nearly identical today — with their grey exteriors and red columns topped with the chain's famous golden arches — some outlets had their own distinct quirky character throughout the 1970s and 1990s. As franchise owners worked to set their locations apart from others, many experienced unusual features that have since disappeared, including attached train cabooses to host birthday parties, and even one with a gas station built beneath it. For those who grew up in Ontario during the late 20th century, the sight of a bright red caboose beside your local McDonald's was a staple of childhood. Franchise owners across the province, from Chatham to Stratford, Barrie to Owen Sound, and Orangeville to Mississauga, converted former railway cars into dining rooms and play areas, and birthday party rooms. A McDonald's caboose restaurant in Chatham, Ont., in 1985.
