CANADA OPEN: National Bank Open Aug 1-13, 2026

 Happened to watch TORONTO BLUE JAYS game last night against the PHILLIES. Oh, they changed their blue jacket for red jacket now for home runners. It was TBJ Smith who I saw had a home run and got the red jacket and a red/yellow dragon as prize. Wow! New gimmick for the TBJ eh? lol

They could have won last year! Why they didn't? I don't know. 

DINOSAURS & DRAGONS are becoming a commodity now not only for Halloween but also as "Mascots." Recently, a Dinosaur mascot was having so much fun at Alex Eala's tennis match with McNally in WTA 1000 Canada Open. After winning the Mubadala DC Open as the new Champion, Alex is now playing at the CANADA OPEN, National Bank in Toronto, Ontario with large crowd of Filipino-Canadians who are proud of her representing the Philippines. Another Filipina (Canadian) Leylah Fernandez is expected to win the tournament. But what if the gam e ends up Leylah vs Alex?

WTA 1000 is being held in Toronto, Ontario and the ATP 1000 for men in Montreal, Quebec from August 1-13, 2026. 

Unfortunately, Felix Auger Aliassime had been injured and had to backed out from the event. Shapovalov was injured too first round. Bianca Andreescu was out. Leylah Fernandez from Canada has defeated her opponents and still strong to continue. GOOD LUCK!

TORONTO BLUE JAYS WON FIRST DAY OF THE WORLD SERIES 2025

 CBC News Network had dedicated their special day on sponsoring the whole event leading to the first day of the WORLD SERIES in Toronto, Ontario. TORONTO BLUE JAYS Vs LA DODGERS. CBC news anchor and reporters interviewed those excited Blue Jays fans and there were so many of them in hundreds of thousands, sadly they wont be able to fit all of them in a 50,000 capacity Roger's Stadium/Arena. Of course millions of Canadians and other fans from all over the world want to see this world series happened because how long Blue Jays been stuck from their 1993 Championship? That was 32 years ago. 

So glad that Toronto Blue Jays won last night's game to the delight of the fans at the Roger's Arena and millions of viewers across Canada and in the US. However, after that game 3 more games to go. You can only hope and pray for the next game after this. 

I don't really know why this baseball game takes that long. It's the same with hockey game wherein there is playoffs and the battle takes longer period of time to end with winning the Stanley Cup. Patience is always a virtue watching all these games unfold and it put stress & pressures on those sports enthusiasts or aficionados.

In regular Blue Jays play time matches with other teams from the USA, you heard more often of Vladimir Guerrero, Schneider, George Springer, Bo Bichette, Varsho having home runs. Then all of a sudden TBJ had Kirk, Barger whose names are often been heard having home runs, of course George & Vladimir are still the best of the best of the TOP PLAYERS. Vladimir Guerrero won the MVP trophy. Congrats Vladimir!

In the 90's BLUE JAYS baseball players/team  that were top of the line were:  Joe Carter, Halladay, Roberto Alomar, Vernon Wells, John Olerud, Gaston, etc. Usually TEAM EFFORT to gain Championship.

Well, wishing them more GOOD LUCK and hope they win the 2025 CHAMPIONSHIP because they deserve this better than anyone else.
