I just saw the official poster for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, and it's left me with one big question. Here's the poster if you haven't seen it yet, then I'll ask my question... Where the hell is Luke Skywalker?

Holy shit. What a game. Win it for Joey Bats. Best. Bat. Flip. Ever. Damn that felt good.
Joe Carter took Mitch Williams deep in the ninth inning of game six of the 1993 World Series. It was October 23, 1993. Today is October 14, 2015, 8,026 days later. It's been 8,026 days since the Jays have won a playoff series. 8,026 days, but today
What the hell is John Gibbons doing with David Price? I'm ecstatic we've forced a game five tomorrow night at the dome, and I'm glad Marcus Stroman is getting the start, but for the life of me I don't understand why Gibbons is misusing our ace. Up 7-1 in the

Win it for Roy Halladay, the greatest starting pitcher in Blue Jays history. He won 148 games, a Cy Young Award and was all class during a dozen seasons in Toronto. To pitch in the postseason, he had to leave for Philadelphia. Win it for Carlos Delgado, the all-time leader
In this 137th episode, Mike chats with radio host Kelly Cutrara about her years at 102.1 the Edge, Mix 99.9, CFRB, CBC Radio 2, Fresh FM and what she's up to now. This episode is exactly 1:14:41. You can listen to this episode in a variety
Typically, I'm all over the Leafs in the preseason. This year, it's a different story. This year, I've been so consumed by the Blue Jays I haven't had the time or desire to watch the Leafs. I saw ten minutes of a preseason game against the Red Wings, was reminded
This election has gone on far too long. Shame on Harper. It's so long, a usually informed and engaged chap like me has yet to truly plug-in. I was at a wedding Saturday and chatted with a buddy who noticed I haven't written about our federal election. The fact is,
I intended to write this entry a month ago, but the Jays have me all flustered. I can barely get my fingers to write about anything else. The last few summers, I've rented a cottage on Oxtongue Lake near Algonquin Park. I'll never be able to afford a cottage of
At some point in the very early 90s (or was it the very late 80s?), I stumbled upon a YTV show called "The Ron Oliver Show". I was hooked. For some reason, this show tickled my funny bone. It was great fun while it lasted, which wasn't very long. I've
In this 136th episode, Mike chats with Blue Jays Radio play-by-play broadcaster and host of BlueJaysTalk Mike Wilner about the playoff-bound Toronto Blue Jays, whether they care about winning the AL regular season crown, how things have changed in this city and the fun to come. They also spin some

My goal for 2015 was to bike 5000 KM. I had never biked that much in a single calendar year, and it seemed like an attainable goal if I stayed healthy. It turns out I hit that goal in early September, and just kept going. September was an amazing month
I appeared on Humble and Fred's show this morning, talking Blue Jays fever and spinning a few retro Jays songs. It was great fun chatting with the guys about the three songs they put together in the early 90s. Here's my segment. You can hear the entire episode of Humble
For the first time since 1993, our Blue Jays could clinch the A.L East pennant. It could happen tonight, as the Magic Number is only 2. That also makes this the first time the Jays could clinch since I started blogging in 2002. There have been a few highlights
Rays TV and radio, Jays TV and radio and the Spanish broadcast. Unfortunately, no French this time.

I've been sharing retro Blue Jays songs on this blog for over a decade. I loved those old cheesy Jays songs from the late 80s and early 90s. I've already shared Erin Davis's "Blue Jays B. Goode" and "I'm a Jays Fan", so this completes her trifecta. I talked to
I'm going to preface this entry by saying there's no smoking gun here. Everything you read is pure speculation on my part, based solely on observations I've made as a fan of sports and sports radio. In 2002, Rogers Media, a division of Rogers Communications, purchased CJCL, better known as
