Another costly loss for the Blue Jays

When people ask me what I think about the Blue Jays' chances of making the playoffs in 2026, I often give the same answer.
What I say is that the team has been playing better for the past month, but I need to see consistency to prove that this past month is also representative of the 2026 Blue Jays.
After all, from March through July, we saw what the 2026 Blue Jays were really like.
And even though there have been some good moments recently, there have also been games the Blue Jays let slip away

Big news.
We were wondering how the Ducks were going to resolve their salary cap issues, which were caused by Leo Carlsson and (the demands of) Cutter Gauthier.
Well, Elliotte Friedman has just given us the answer.
In an article on the Sportsnet website (welcome back, my friend), the insider reported that the Ducks and the player had agreed to terminate his contract.
This won't be a buyout since the player agreed to it. Instead, it will be the end of the contract, which will make the player a fr

Just because Josh Donaldson isn’t playing anymore doesn’t mean he can’t continue to make headlines in the world of baseball.
For example?
Recently, on his podcast (Get It Done League), he accused Jomboy—who has Aaron Boone as a guest on his podcast once a week—of dictating the Yankees' lineup.
He gave examples from the past of players who were benched after Jomboy spoke with Boone. He added that in a locker room, that doesn't go over well.
Listening to the clip, it'

Quinta Brunson is locking in for Abbott Elementary’s sixth season, saying the fifth season meandered a bit and had some filler. Of course she holds herself to a high standard, but some filler is expected of a network sitcom that runs for years and years.

In 2025, the five players at the center of the 2018 Team Canada Junior scandal were acquitted following a trial that, as you know, received a great deal of media attention.
They were subsequently cleared to return to the NHL.
Carter Hart was the only one to do so in 2025–2026, and he led the Golden Knights to within a few games of a Stanley Cup. That, too, caused quite a stir during the playoffs.
Finding him a team hadn't been easy. Returning to Philly wasn't an option. The idea of him sig

Since “billionaires suck” is a theme at the movies, I guess it’s a theme on the site today too. Because it’s a theme in real life – all around us billionaires and their billionaire decisions have had an impact on our communities, how we live and how we work. And pop culture has always been a reflection of humanity, in this case how the inhumane are actively destroying it. On the off chance you think this is hyperbolic, catch up on the Jacob Coxon story that broke ye

In his second game of the season, Alexander Zharovsky recorded two assists.
And this morning (Quebec time, at least), the Montreal Canadiens prospect found the back of the net for the first time in the 2026–2027 season.

The Boston Red Sox had a spectacular run earlier this season, which has put them comfortably in playoff contention.
All of this has been achieved without their ace pitcher, Garrett Crochet, who has missed the vast majority of the 2026 season. Captain Crochet has been sidelined since late April due to inflammation in his left shoulder.
It appears, however, that the Red Sox's left-hander could be back in time for the postseason—but in a relief role—without having pitched in the regular

Just yesterday I mentioned Luca Gudagnino’s upcoming film Artificial, about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and lo, we have a teaser. This film is apparently critical of Altman, and coming from Guadagnino, a director who likes to push buttons, and writer Simon Rich, who finds the sublime in the ridiculous, I can easily see Artificial being a Social Network-style harpooning of a tech titan (who can’t take criticism).
The teaser, however, is not leaning into subversion so much as classic presti

I don’t know if you’re watching the series “The Rebuild” on Crave.
If so, you may have noticed that Jeff Gorton is taking center stage. And I don't mean that in a negative way—after all, he is still the club's president of hockey operations.
It's nothing against Kent Hughes either, but Gorton simply stands out more.
In Episode #3, which aired yesterday, we see Jeff Gorton expressing his dissatisfaction with Canadiens fans leaving the Bell Centre before the end of a

Dear Gossips,From Anne Hathaway to Zendaya and Florence Pugh to Robert Pattinson, there are several actors this year with multiple high-profile prestige and/or blockbuster films that have already been released or have yet to be released. Add Penelope Cruz to that list. La Bola Negra, directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, is one of the most acclaimed movies of the year, with both directors, known as Los Javis, winning the Best Director award in Cannes. Just last weekend, La Bola Negra scr

A few months ago, Kent Hughes said he believed that young Oliver Kapanen had what it takes to compete to be the team's second-line center in the future.
I don't know about you, but I never really believed it.
In reality, I mostly saw a GM who wanted to boost his player's confidence while things were going well for the young man at that point in his rookie season. And that's perfectly fine.
Since then? Kapanen has inevitably slowed down and has been benched in the playoffs more often than not.

It's a good thing Kazuma Okamoto is on the Blue Jays this season. We can all agree on that.
Without him, the offense would have been even less dynamic this season.
Just yesterday, he found a way to step up in his team's win in Sacramento. He had two hits, including a home run.

For the past few days, the Kaiden Guhle situation has been the talk of the town.

Ever since Brady Tkachuk was traded to the Panthers, things have been buzzing in Ottawa.First of all, everyone's trying to figure out who will be the next captain. Brad Marchand even laughed at the possibility of Tim Stützle being chosen.

There's a growing sense that expansion is imminent in MLB. The league had put this matter on hold while waiting for clarity on the future of the Rays and the Athletics… and both of those issues have now been resolved.
The Rays are in the process of building a new stadium to remain in Tampa Bay… and the A's, for their part, will be moving to Vegas shortly.
As a result, people have been talking about expansion again for a little while now. And of course, in Montreal, the hope of seei

Since the start of the summer, Kent Hughes has not been able to add an NHL-caliber player to his roster. He hasn't lost any talent (except for some depth players), but he hasn't added any either.
As things stand, the 2026–27 Habs are shaping up to look a lot like the 2025–26 Habs.
But of course, the door isn't completely closed yet for that to happen. There's still time… and Marco D'Amico, who answered questions from fans on Reddit tonight, mentioned a specific date to watch f

Connor McDavid's future in Edmonton is the subject of much speculation. We know that the Oilers' captain, who is currently in the first year of a two-year contract, wants to win… and that he hasn't been able to do so in Alberta.
He's come pretty close (twice, in fact), but he hasn't hoisted the big trophy yet.

Earlier today, Boston Bruins forward Fraser Minten signed a seven-year, $50.4 million contract. That works out to an annual salary of $7.2 million.

Today, the media has been abuzz, comparing him to another 35-point scorer, Oliver Kapanen. This has led the media to ask: “Is Kapa
