Wednesday afternoon Blue Jays outfielder Jose Baustista slammed this mammoth home run out of Fenway Park: Your browser does not support iframes. Apparently Baustista’s blast did some damage to more than just John Lester’s ERA in Boston, as the ball dented the roof of an SUV in the parking lot. Here’s a picture of the [...]

Yesterday, Toronto Blue Jays power hitter Jose Bautista hit his 25th home run of the season against Boston at Fenway Park.
After the ball traveled over the green monster, the ball ended up deflecting off an SUV near a Fenway Park parking lot leaving a dent on the top of the car:

Jose Bautista absolutely mashed a home run during the 4th inning of Wednesday’s tilt between the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. With Boston in control with a 7-1 lead, Bautista unloaded on a Jon Lester pitch, drilling it over the Green Monster and depositing it in a nearby parking lot, [...]

For all you xenophobic Americans out there who are terrified of the outside world, including being frightened by the goings-on in a country that shares are northern border, July 1 is Canada Day, which is a lot like July 4th here in the States, only with Mounties and you run into a much friendlier brand [...]

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Omar Vizquel said Tuesday his majestic 24-year career will be coming to an end at the conclusion of this season.
The 45-year-old began his career with the Mariners and went on to have stints at the Indians, Giants, Rangers and White Sox, before joining the Blue Jays this season.
He appeared in two World Series with the Indians, in 1995 and 1997, but...

The Blue Jays celebrate Canada Day!
On a side note, I think that all teams in baseball should be required to wear hats with Canadian Flags in them, since we force Canada to celebrate in our American Holidays across baseball. But I guess since a lot their stars and stripes hat have the Canadian Flag in them, we wear our American Flag? Anyway its another opportunity to pander the crowds...

For years, the most feared 3-4 combo in the American League was David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. Now, that title might belong to division rivals Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. The past two seasons, Bautista has lead the league in home runs and is at the front of the pack once again this year with 24 dingers. Encarnacion, like Bautista, has found his power stroke, sitting fourth...

As if the Toronto Blue Jays don't have enough to worry about with their rotation decimated by injuries, there has to be concern about the one starter who should cause the least problems of all, ace Ricky Romero. Insisting that he feels no pressure with three starters out long-term because of injury -- Brandon Morrow (strained oblique), Kyle Drabek (elbow surgery) and Drew Hutchison...

Brett Lawrie is finally starting to live up to the hype he had coming into this season. After hovering around a .700 OPS in April and May, Lawrie has an .870 OPS in June. This is especially encouraging because his BABIP and his HR/FB in June are not indicating that he may simply be receiving good luck. Instead, his entire approach appears to have been reworked, with a walk rate nearly...

Before I get to Monday’s game against the Boston Red Sox, I got some news about the Toronto Blue Jays. Adam Lind re-joined the team on Monday after spending a month in Triple A Las Vegas.

Right now, like as this is being written, Ricky Romero is in the process of getting bombed by the Red Sox. The 27-year-old lefty just finished an inning in which he gave up a double to Dustin Pedroia between two walks before an error and a few groundouts allowed singles from Mike Aviles and Darnell McDonald to plate some runs. Six runs in all. So far all the balls in play have beenâ€...

BOSTON – The last time the Red Sox saw Toronto ace Ricky Romero, he was pitching 8 1/3 innings against them in a 3-1 Blue Jays win back on April 11. But Wednesday, Romero, who has had all kinds of trouble with Boston in his career, reverted back to his old form, as the Sox chased him in three-plus innings (including a six-run first) of a 10-4 rout in the rubber game of a three...

For now, the Toronto Blue Jays give little indication that they intend to trade potential free agents such as designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion and second baseman Kelly Johnson.
To the contrary, the Jays continue to maintain a buyer’s posture, sending multiple scouts to at least two recent starts by Astros left-hander Wandy Rodriguez’s and maintaining contact with the Cubs...
