Sportsfeld Storytime

On this week's episode of Sportsfeld Storytime, we wrap up our look back at the Roy Halladay/AJ Burnett duel of 2009. This week, we're remembering the Roy Halladay trade, which saw him leave Toronto and head to Philadelphia where he would, of course, throw a no-hitter in his first playoff appearance. We then look back at Life After Doc, as Alex Anthopolous makes his first moves as GM, Jose Bautista becomes The God King, and Brett Lawrie leaps his way into our hearts.

On this week's edition of Sportsfeld Storytime, we continue our look back at the Roy Halladay/AJ Burnett showdown of 2009. This week, we Remember Some Guys like Aaron Hill, Lyle Overbay, and Scott Rolen. Plus, Zubes has the opportunity to sing the praises of Travis Snider and slander the good name of Cito Gaston. All that plus the early days of the Blue Jays blogosphere and how that has influenced our memory of this team ever since.

After three years of a starting pitcher bromance in bloom, AJ Burnett left our beloved Toronto Blue Jays to sign with the Yankees. In 2009, he returned to Skydome in a head to head matchup against who else? Roy Halladay. This month on Sportsfeld Storytime we look back at the "Playoff Atmosphere" in the dome several years before the actual playoffs would return to Toronto. In episode one, we remember the AJ Burnett era, three years where the Jays were quietly pretty good, and try our best to put some respect on the name of Vernon Wells.

In this episode of Sportsfeld Storytime Jake and Zubes discuss how they celebrated Crosby's Golden Goal and then look forward, or back now I guess, to what came next for Team Canada. What they found was a much less exciting Gold Medal Game in 2014, and then a stunning loss in 2018 to....Germany? Whatever you say. Mason Raymond was there though.

Iggy!!! In this episode of Sportsfeld Storytime, Sidney Crosby fulfills his destiny as a national hero. We recap Canada's incredible 3-2 OT win in the 2010 Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Gold Medal game, AKA the first good thing to happen to us as sports fans in more than 15 years at the time. Some things are just meant to happen, and Sidney Crosby scoring the Golden Goal on home soil is one of those things.

It iiiiiiiissss Sportsfeld Storytime. In the second episode of our look back at the 2010 Canadian Olympic Men's Hockey Team's road to Gold, we begin the tournament proper.

Plus Canada gets a scare from the Swiss, gets beat down by the States, and gets a big win against the Russians. And finally, what does Donyell Marshall have to do with the 2010 Olympic semi-finals? Jake has a story.

This week on Sportsfeld Storytime, we finish our look back at Brett Lawrie Mania. This week, we're digging into the falling action of Brett Lawrie's Blue Jay career, discussing Lawrie's antics on and off the field and what made him such a lightning bolt of attention in Toronto from 2011 to 2014. From great defensive play to falling down a pit in Yankee Stadium to throwing a helmet at an umpire, Brett Lawrie's Blue Jay career was a lot of things, but it certainly wasn't boring.

Relive a Labour Day classic, Brett Lawrie's 1-0 11th inning walk-off way back in September 2011.
