Jose Reyes to Join Bisons this Weekend
Ever since Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes severely sprained his ankle back on April 12th, it was just a matter of time before his rehab journey made it’s way to the Bisons. The only question was if he would make a trip to Coca-Cola Field.
Bisons and Blue Jays found out Wednesday that Reyes will in fact be coming to Buffalo and it will be this weekend. Reyes will make his debut...
Toronto Blue Jays Sweep Texas
The Toronto Blue Jays swept the Texas Rangers in four games this weekend. When I realized that the Jays completed the sweep on Sunday, I thought I was dreaming.
The Blue Jays hammered the Rangers in the second game of the series 8-0. Colby Rasmus went one for three at the plate, scored two runs, and racked up three RBIs. Starting pitcher, Mark Buehrle pitched seven innings...
Here’s a mind-blowing look at three knuckleballs from R.A. Dickey (GIF)
The knuckleball, by its physics-defying nature, is easily the oddest, mind-bending — and most unpredictable — pitch that can be part of a pitcher’s arsenal, which partly is why so few pitchers attempt to master the befuddling pitch. And when the knuckleball is given the StroMotion treatment — particularly pitches out of the hand of [...]The post Here’s a mind-blowing look...

Blue Jays' Brandon Morrow suffers setback in rehab start
As the Toronto Blue Jays push to get back into the race in the American League East, they are hoping to get their players back healthy as a form of reinforcements. One such player the team would love to have back is Brandon Morrow. Unfortunately, he suffered a minor setback in his High-A rehab start last night.
According to Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com, Morrow's arm will...
Hard Charging
For a team so very unfamiliar with long winning streaks (they haven't won more than six in a row since 2008) the current seven gamer must be very satisfying for the Toronto Blue Jays. Not only that, but they've posted a combine score of 41-11 in those games. Indeed, these are heady days for the Jays. Of course, it behooves us to heed Mike Wilner's oft-repeated observation...
CRAZY STUFF
Dickey's knuckleball receives GIF treatment
You all know the R.A. Dickey story by now. Journeyman major leaguer reinvents himself as a knuckleball thrower in his 30s, then refines the pitch to become one of the better starting pitchers in baseball, culminating with his selection as the National League Cy Young Award winner last year. The knuckleball is always a fascinating pitch, and Dickey is a fascinating guy, so there has...
Blue Jays' Jose Reyes and Brandon Morrow began rehab assignments
The surging Toronto Blue Jays may not be out of the running yet. They have won six games in a row and eight of their last ten. Now, the Blue Jays find themselves eight games out of first, getting healthier, and gaining confidence. Jose Reyes and Brandon Morrow could help the team continue this surge.
According to John Lott of the National Post, both Reyes and Morrow are...
Battered Blue Jays Surge Forward Despite Injuries: Can Toronto Still Live Up to Pre-Season Expectations?
It’s about that time. It’s that time in the season when the
teams that got hot too early start to stumble, and the teams that have been
coasting along under the radar start to surge toward first place. Look no
further than the Cardinals and the Padres. The fourth place Padres have won seven in a row and just swept the 1st place Arizona Diamondbacks. The
league-leading Cardinals...

The Jays have won 8 of their last 10 a stretch in which they took 6 of 7 from the Rangers. According to Blue Jays guru Mike Wilner, the Blue Jays have the best record in the A.L East since May 04th.

Flying with the Blue Jays in Toronto, the New York Yankees will regret not promoting Chien-Ming Wang
Fanning five and only allowing five hits over seven scoreless innings, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Chien-Ming Wang stifled Rangers batters on Sunday in Arlington, Texas. After opting out of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the 33-year-old Wang (1-0, 3.14 ERA) signed a one-year contract worth $500,000 last week to become a Blue Jay. Impressing with the New York Yankees affiliate before...

A Father and Son Past Time
On this father’s day, I find myself reflecting on the most influential role model in my life and the great past time that he and I shared together. Like many youths, I had aspirations of playing major league baseball, a train that I rode as far as I could before the harsh realization that I was not going to be the next Gary Carter or Roberto Alomar. My father was there every...
Romero solid in victory over Pawtucket
Ricky Romero is certainly facing an uphill battle. The former All-Star is biding his time in Triple A Buffalo trying to prove to everyone he still has what it takes. On Friday, he sure made everyone took notice. Friday night was the second game of the new and improved Ricky Romero. In a recent article by John Lott of the National Post, Romero said he was "ditching" his...
Yankeetorial: Run, everybody. This is the End. The Yankalypse is here, the Ying of Wang is upon us.
History tells us that these things happen to empires. The Mayans disappeared. The Spanish Armada sank. Springsteen put out Devils and Dust. The Yankees, the mightiest dynasty in sports - (after the Chinese Ping-Pong team of the 1970s), have collapsed. This is not a drill. Make your way to the exits. Women and children first. We practiced for this, people. We tracked this storm...

Blue Jays' Brandon Morrow threw bullpen, scheduled for rehab assignment
