Toronto Blue Jays Take Huge Step On Road To Recovery
The Toronto Blue Jays took a huge step on the road to their recovery Sunday afternoon, with a 12-4 drubbing of division rival the Boston Red Sox. John Gibbons’ team slugged five home runs to snatch just their second series win of the season, which capped off a successful 4-3 road trip after a split four-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays.
It was a giant leap for the Blue Jays...
Who Is To Blame For Blue Jays Struggles?
Lately I’ve been finding fanatical claims from some Jays fans or general MLB followers rather ill-informed because they make grandiose statements like “the Blue Jays were going to be bad because the Marlins were bad with these same players.” Or else they blame Manager John Gibbons for what has occurred on the field as if he can swing the bat or pitch the ball for his players...
Blue Jays Still Battling Injuries, Inconsistency Heading Into Series Against Red Sox
About a month after Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos “traded” manager John Farrell to Boston last winter, Anthopoulos surprised many by hiring John Gibbons as Farrell’s replacement. Gibbons had managed Toronto from 2004-08 and had a 305-305 record, when Anthopoulos was the team’s assistant GM.

As a die-hard Blue Jays fan, I am urging you all to lay off John Gibbons. You may not like my argument but it is from an emotion-reduced and fact-based point of view. Like every organisation in the world, when things are going wrong people call for the guy at the top’s head. It is human nature and I’m sure we have all done it at some point in our lives. Baseball is the same...

Pauljacksports:
So far early in the season the team that sticks out as under performing is the Toronto Blue Jays. John Gibbons was re-hired again to manage the team he led from 2004-2008. After their extra inning win today against the Baltimore Orioles they stand at 9-13 in last place 5...
Jays make intriguing hire in Gibbons
John Gibbons described it as a "shock" that "came out of nowhere." That sounds about right.
Meet the new Toronto Blue Jays manager, same as the old Blue Jays manager: Gibbons, cashiered midway through the 2008 season with a 305-305 career record, is back again. The Toronto vacancy had been the subject of intense speculation over the past several weeks. Almost...

November news dominated by the Blue Jays
Is the power shifting in the American League East? If the amount of news generated by the Blue Jays in November is any indication, perhaps it is. While the Red Sox quietly try to figure out and dig out of last year's fiasco and the Yankees, the richest team in the world, suddenly shop at K-Mart, the Blue Jays have made headline after headline culminating with naming John Gibbons...
