Toronto Blue Jays Season Preview
As the weather warms up in Toronto, my thoughts turn to two things. One, is that the Leafs and Raptors are almost done another miserable season where they will both miss the playoffs by a considerable margin, and probably finish just high enough in the standings to NOT get the chance to draft a franchise player to turn these miserable teams around.

Toronto Blue Jays Offseason Moves: Prince Fielder
As a Toronto sports fan, I am getting fed up. Across all of the sports teams this city has, certain things are consistent.
