Pictures of Skydome's Facelift - This is a gallery of pictures taken at Skydome recently. They show some of the changes like the new scoreboard and turf. The turf looks really good, I only wish it was actual grass. Still, this is much better than that rug we used to
I bought a bunch of Blue Jays tickets online earlier today. During the check-out portion of the transaction, I had to select the method by which I'd like the tickets. I could have them mailed to me, I could pick them up at the box office or I could print
Where are our 1993 Jays now? Of those who played for us in the '93 playoffs, only five remain in the major leagues. Woody Williams - Starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres Mike Timlin - Relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox Al Leiter - Starting pitcher for the
Who's the best Blue Jay ever? In my mind, there's no doubt it was Roberto Alomar who announced his retirement earlier today. In the winter of 1990, Alomar and Joe Carter came to Toronto from San Diego in exchange for Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez. It was a monster deal
I've got my Freeplay Ranger tuned to The Fan 590 right now. It's something I've done hundreds and hundreds of times in my life. I'm listening to Blue Jays baseball on the radio. There's a gaping, unfillable hole in this broadcast. The voice of Tom Cheek is noticeably absent. Sadly,

I'm pissed. I just learned that Paul Godfrey fired long time public address announcer Murray Eldon. I've never attended a Blue Jays game without hearing Eldon's sweet voice announcing the batters. If I close my eyes I can still hear his signature deliveries for Damaso Garcia, Willie Upshaw, Alfredo Griffin,
Have you seen the cover of Sports Illustrated this week? It features Frank Catalanotto, Vernon Wells and Reed Johnson of your Toronto Blue Jays. Great, that's just what we needed. The Sports Illustrated cover jinx is legendary. As if having the Red Sox and Yankees in our division wasn't enough.
Inhale deeply, close your eyes and listen closely. Can you hear it? I hear wind rustling between long blades of grass while the crack of the bat echoes in the background. There's the sound of ball on leather and a crowd erupting in cheer following a two-bagger for the home
The new name of SkyDome is.... Rogers Centre. That's horrible! What an awful, awful name. I knew they'd throw the name "Rogers" in there but I was hoping they might simply call it Rogers SkyDome. Roger Centre?!?! Sorry Ted, I ain't playing your game. You will never, ever hear me
This morning may be the last time we can rightfully call SkyDome, SkyDome. At some point this morning, the Rogers Empire will unveil a new name for the chunk of concrete our Jays lovingly call home. This is all part of their wily scheme to attract fans to the stadium,
Carlos Delgado has agreed to a $52-million US, four-year contract with the Florida Marlins. We've known for months that Delgado would be signing with another team for the 2005 season, but this announcement makes it final. Delgado spent 11 years with the Jays and leaves as the all-time club leader
While the New York Yankees were introducing their latest acquisition Randy Johnson to the media and the New York Mets were introducing their free agent aquisition Carlos Beltran, the Toronto Blue Jays were busy making a big announcement of their own. The Jays have landed Scott Schoeneweis. Schoeneweis owns a
Ryne Sandberg was voted into the baseball Hall of Fame this afternoon. He appeared on 76.2 per cent of ballots, just above the 75 per cent cutoff. Personally, I don't think Sandberg belongs in the Hall of Fame. He was a fantastic second baseman for the Cubs with some
Rogers Sportsnet's play-by-play and analyst tandem took a sad hit last October when John Cerutti passed away and yesterday they announced Rob Foulds won't be back either. That means we'll have an entirely new duo calling Jay games on the television next year. To me, the ideal team is rather
The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to announce the signing of Canadian third-baseman Corey Koskie later today. Koskie, 31, was born in Anola, Manitoba. I'm always happy when a Canadian player comes home to play, and Koskie is a pretty good hitter, but he's no Carlos Delgado and he can't
The Elias Sports Bureau released their rankings yesterday, and a couple of Blue Jays led the pack. Carlos Delgado was named the top player and Roy Halladay the top pitcher. That's right, according the the well respected Elias Sports Bureau, the Blue Jays had the top-ranked pitcher and position player
It was great watching John Olerud hit another important home run in October. His two run shot was the difference in the Yankees win over the Red Sox last night. Johnny O was a key contributor during our two World Series Championship seasons batting a Blue Jays record .363 in
There is one Thanksgiving I will never forget. It was twelve years ago today and my beloved Blue Jays were battling the Oakland Athletics for the American League crown. Toronto was up in the series 2-1 with game four taking place at Oakland Coliseum. Jack Morris started and stunk up

The Toronto Blue Jays played their final game of the 2004 season yesterday, losing 3-2 to the New York Yankees. Good riddance to bad garbage. The 2004 season was the season from hell for my Blue Jays. I've been following this team closely since 1983 and no other season comes
Today I had the pleasure of bringing James to his very first Blue Jays game at Skydome. I'm not sure when I saw my first game, but I recall the first game in my memory and I can still see Damaso Garcia hitting that long bases loaded triple in a
The Blue Jays lost again last night 11-5 against the Boston Red Sox at the SkyDome. We're 53-74 and last in the AL East, 25.5 games back of the Yanks. It's been the season from hell, but there is a silver lining... I can still turn on the radio
My Toronto Blue Jays were beat by the Boston Red Sox 6-4 last night. That gave the Sox the three-game sweep and dropped the Jays to a season-high 23 games under .500. We're now 49-72 and have lost 13 of our past 15 games. I've been a huge Blue Jays
Another Blue Jay is in Cooperstown. When Paul Molitor was inducted into the baseball hall of fame yesterday, he became the third Blue Jay to enter the hall joining Phil Neikro and Dave Winfield. Molitor played 21 seasons: 15 with the Milwaukee Brewers and three each with the Jays and
