TORONTO — Aaron Boone likely doesn’t watch many Toronto Blue Jays broadcasts. He’s usually busy managing the New York Yankees when they air. But Boone clearly heard what Toronto broadcaster Buck Martinez said about the Yankees last month. Ahead of an American League Division Series against the Blue Jays, Boone fired back.

“Contrary to some thoughts up here,” Boone said. “We’re a really good team.”
The comment was clearly directed at Martinez’s comments on a Sept. 9 Sportsnet broadcast. Amid a Blue Jays contest against the Astros, the former Jays manager and long-time big-league catcher said the Yankees are “not a good team.”
“I don’t care what their record is,” Martinez continued. “They have a lot of wild pitches. They make a lot of mistakes in the field.”
“The Yankees, they’re not a good team. I don’t care what their record is. They have a lot of wild pitches. They make a lot of mistakes in the field. They don’t run the bases very well.” – Blue Jays commentator Buck Martinez calls down the thunder 🔥 pic.twitter.com/hlnIpP0ygr

Boone’s thinly veiled shot came tucked at the end of a response to a general question about the Yankees’ infield defence. When asked if he’d shared the message with his team, Boone further specified his already clear comments.
“I know Buck had some thoughts,” Boone said. “He’s wrong. But it doesn’t matter, we gotta go play.”
Martinez’s Sept. 9 comments came with the Yankees in the midst of a 12-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. After that game, the Yankees finished the year 14-4. They won their final eight regular-season games, tying the Jays for the American League’s top record at 94-68. Because Toronto bested New York in eight of 13 meetings this year, the Blue Jays hold home-field advantage for the upcoming Division Series.
At times this year, New York’s defence failed it. The Yankees finished the regular season with the 10th-most wild pitches in the majors and the seventh-most errors. In seven games at Toronto in July, they committed 11 errors and lost six of the contests. But, as Blue Jays manager John Schneider acknowledged, the New York team that flew to Toronto on Friday night is much different from its July form.

“They’ve made an effort to shore up some defensive spots, I think, adding (Ryan) McMahon,” Schneider said. “They’re playing a little bit of a different type of game right now.”
The postseason series between New York and Toronto will begin Saturday, with Kevin Gausman and Luis Gil starting on the mound. Martinez will be in the booth for Sportsnet, part of the local broadcast for Canadian audiences.

Sparťanky ovládly pražské derby a odskočily Slavii
Do utkání vstoupily lépe slávistické fotbalistky, když se prosadila slovenská záložnice Tamara Morávková. Vedení hostujícím hráčkám vydrželo ale pouze do poslední pětiminutovky poločasu, sparťanky totiž dokázaly v rozmezí tří minut skóre otočit. Skóre nejdříve vyrovnala bývalá útočnice Slavie Franny Černá, o otočku se postarala americká letní posila Elizabeth Ospecková.Osamoceného míče ⚽ se ujala Franny Černá, která tak srovnala na 1:1. 💪 Sparťanky ještě dvakrát skórovaly a Slavia bude mít co dotahovat... 🧐 pic.twitter.com/KSBw2C2tFA— ČT sport (@sportCT) October 4, 2025 Ve druhém poločase už však úřadovala pouze Sparta.

Zverev calls out favouritism towards top two Alcaraz and Sinner
Alexander Zverev claims tournament organisers are deliberately slowing down courts to favour the world's top two Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.The world No 3 overcame an injury scare to beat Valentin Royer 6-4 6-4 at the Shanghai Masters but then voiced his displeasure with the way he felt the sport was heading. "I hate when it's the same, to be honest," he said in his on-court interview."I think the tournament directors are going towards that direction because, obviously, they want Jannik and Carlos to do well every tournament and that's what they prefer."Nowadays, you can play almost the same way on every surface. I don't like it, I'm not a fan of it. "I think tennis needs different game styles, tennis needs a little bit of variety and I think we're lacking that right now." Zverev had to be treated […]
