4 h. ago Yankees announcer has made an enemy of Toronto Blue Jays fans

New York Yankees announcer Michael Kay might be regretting stirring up the Toronto Blue Jays fans — and one of his cross-border colleagues — this week.It all started earlier this week when Kay, the longtime voice of the Yankees for YES Network, took to his radio show to discuss the Blue Jays beating New York 12-5 on Canada Day at the Rogers Centre."The Blue Jays are not a first-place team, I'm sorry." Kay said. "If you look at the run differential, the Yankees' run differential is +105. The Blue Jays, after their 12-5 win, finally got into the positive yesterday, they're +4. Do you realize that they should be a .500 team?"How do people genuinely listen to this idiot, man pic.twitter.com/lcrLAnymQd— mj (@Hockey_Is_All) July 2, 2025At the time, the Jays were one game back of the Yankees for first place in the American League East.

5 h. ago Buzzy Toronto sandwich spot finally reopening after closing for a year

A Toronto sandwich shop unlike any other in the city is finally about to open after being shut down for a year.While sandwich shops in Toronto are in no short supply, we're firm believers in the "the more, the merrier" approach, particularly when it comes to the ones that put a unique spin on one of the most widely available food formats around.It's for that exact reason that the sudden and quiet closure of Corktown staple FAMO Sandwiches in the spring of 2024 was particularly heartbreaking.Open in the neighbourhood for eight years, the sandwich shop made its name crafting juicy, dense sandwiches using alternative cuts of meat, which are, tragically, often discarded (or, if schoolyard urban legends are to be believed, turned into street meat).Beef tongue, oxtail, burgers and breaded fish tacos graced the menu of the celebrated sandwich shop, all crafted with the bits and pieces that often go overlooked despite being no less delicious, and FAMO s...
