The Toronto Blue Jays acquired veteran pitcher Mark Buehrle as part of the blockbuster offseason deal with the Miami Marlins. Buehrle had been the epitome of consistency and brought a plethora of leadership to a young Jays squad. He also came north of the border with a hefty contract that still owes him $48 million over the next 3 years; however 3 million will be eaten by the Marlins...
What can I say about my beloved Toronto Blue Jays. Not much. Right now they are one of the worse teams in baseball a with a 10-17 record and are last in the American League East standings. In their last ten games, they went 3-7. Their last road trip was disastrous, losing a three game series to Baltimore and then they got swept by the New York Yankees four straight. Their...
I’m probably always going to remember Ryan Franklin for three on-field performances. One, as a starter in the minors, Franklin was involved in two consecutive no-hitters — the first one combined, the second one done by Franklin all on his own.

Because pitbulls are banned in the province of Ontario, it appears Mark Buehrle's family dog, Slater, might not accompany them to Toronto after his trade to the Blue Jays.
Mark Buehrle’s Marlins debut went pretty well overall last Thursday, but Miami gave him no run support. Buehrle managed to go six innings and allowed just two earned runs on seven hits, but he still picked up the loss. Had he been more careful while making a sandwich earlier in the day, the left-hander says he could have given his team an even better chance to win.
