The question about which is the most frustrating Blue Jays season we can remember has come up recently, and we've got to give it up for the 2014 Blue Jays team that frustrated all of us and the entire clubhouse by refusing to make a major move at the deadline. To get there, we start by looking at the big transaction that made us believe in the first place, a massive off-season deal with the Miami Marlins and a follow up trade for reigning Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey that immediately changed the expectations around the team.

This week on Sportsfeld Storytime, we finish our look back at the 2007 Toronto Raptors and their defeat at the hand of the New Jersey Nets. This week, we dive into the aftermath of Jose Calderon not throwing a bounce pass and jump ahead to the 2008 playoffs, where the Raptors would fall to the Orlando Magic. Plus we discuss the legacy of Chris Bosh, close the book on the Brian Colangelo era, and welcome DeMar DeRozan. All that plus Zubes' memories of getting drunk in daylight and Jake's memories of letting his friends know he liked sports.

All the focus in the series was on Vincent Lamar Carter (three names, like a serial killer) but it ended up being Richard Jefferson who put the dagger through the heart of the Toronto Raptors and their fans. An unexpected playoff run with a young team ended with a six game loss to the New Jersey Nets, and the big question is... Did the Raptors learn anything or grow or really build anything out of this? Why do I get the feeling the answer is no. Ah, well. Nevertheless.

This week on Sportsfeld Storytime we continue our look back at Game 6 of the 2007 NBA Playoff first round matchup between the Toronto Raptors and the New Jersey Nets. But first, we take a little detour and reminisce about the legend that is Chuck Swirsky and discuss his impact on Raptors fandom in the dark days of the mid-2000s. Then, we begin our look at Games 1 through 5 of the Raptors' first playoff series in five years. A series a long time in the making and an early example of the Raptors Game 1 curse.

A franchise in search of direction after the departure of the only good thing that had ever happened to them, the 2006-07 Toronto Raptors entered the season with a clear leader in Bryan Colangelo, and had the 1st overall pick to boot. A surprise run to a division title and a season to remember, which came to a poetic end at the hands of Vincent Lamar Carter. Relive the beginning of the Bargnani Era, in look back at the 2007 Toronto Raptors.

This week on Sportsfeld Storytime, we finish our look back at Game 1 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. This week, we look at the aftermaths of the Raptors' devastating loss in Game 1 by being absolutely demoralized by LeBron James, given hope by OG Anunoby, and demoralized by LeBron James once again. This was the height of LeBronto, and the end of the DeMar DeRozan and Dwane Casey era of the Raptors. But we all know what would happen next.

JUST TIP IT IN, JONAS! This week on storytime, we relive the unbelievable heartbreaker in Game 1 of the Toronto Raptors second round matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Trying desperately to reverse the "LeBronto" reputation, the Toronto Raptors lead for nearly all of regulation, before missing 11 straight shots down the stretch including 5 attempts in the final seconds to win the game. Instead, LeBron and the Cavs would win in OT and completely dismantle the DeMar DeRozan era.

This week on Sportsfeld Storytime, we continue our look back at the 2018 Toronto Raptors defeat at the hands of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. This week, we're looking back with rose-coloured glasses at the Raptors first round victory over the hated Washington Wizards. Kelly Oubre Jr. talked a good game, but it was the Raptors who came out on top. We believed in the Bench Mob. We believed in the Raptors. And, for one shining moment, we believed in DeMar DeRozan.

The 2017-18 Toronto Raptors had everything. An 11 man rotation, the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the NBA Coach of the Year, an All-Star guard duo, and a run of year-by-year success that seemed to be growing towards them finally getting over the hump and winning the East. The only problem? LeBron Raymone James Sr. In this month's Storytime we relive the 2017-18 season, culminating in the series of missed tip-ins that keep the Raps from winning Game 1 against Cleveland and ultimately bringing in the need for a major shakeup in the organization. In part one, we look back at the regular season, where the Raptors ride continuity to the top of the standings, and two big games in January have us dreaming that maybe it's not so crazy that they can go toe-to-toe with the King.

This week on Sportsfeld Storytime, we wrap up our look back at the 2017 Toronto FC season, capped by their historic run in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League. We are talking wins over Tigres, Club América, and then the devastating loss in the final against Guadalajara. All of that, plus we dig into why the 2019 MLS Cup Final just...didn't seem like that big a deal in Toronto. It's a weird time to be a Toronto FC fan, and we're going to try and figure out why that is. Because we're very, very smart.
