Monday night our beloved Raptors were blown out by LeBron and the Cavaliers, and were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Third consecutive year of being eliminated by the Cavs, and second consecutive sweep at their hands. Toronto has been renamed LeBronto. Our team was the top seed in the East winning 59 games, but as per usual, choked in the playoffs. It's so sad it's almost funny.
Yesterday morning our All Star closer for the Blue Jays got arrested and charged with assaulting his girlfriend. This is not so funny, it's very serious. Roberto Osuna, I think he's 22 or 23. Has (or had) the potential to become one of the greatest closers in baseball. MLB has stepped in and placed him on administrative leave. His first court appearance is scheduled for June 18th. Who knows what's going to happen then for his career and his life.
Finally, yesterday evening our Blue Jays were no-hit by a Seattle pitcher in a 5-0 loss. Perfect way to cap off the shittiest 24 hours in our sports history. Only silver lining was the pitcher who no-hit us was a Canadian guy from BC. Fans cheered for him based on that.
