Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman strikes out looking for free parking
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (34) stands on the mound after a solo home run by Minnesota Twins' Trevor Larnach during the sixth inning of a baseball game Saturday, June 7, 2025, in Minneapolis. (AP Photo/Abbie Parr) Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman appears to have been thrown a curveball while looking for a free parking spot in Toronto. 'So apparently there is no such thing as free parking in Toronto,' the 34-year-old Colorado native said in a tweet Monday to his more than 70,000 followers, paired with two facepalm emojis. While the Blue Jays' ace didn't provide any context beyond the one sentence post – which has been viewed more than 360,000 times – his followers were quick to chime in with their own woes when it comes to parking in the city. Justin Turner, Gausman's former teammate, replied with three rolling on the floor laughing emojis. Another person tweeted in response: 'Yes there is, depending on how far you're willing to walk.' 'You are about 20 years too late on this tweet,' said one person. 'When I first moved here I seemingly got a parking ticket every other month,' said another. It's unclear if Gausman's tweet was triggered by a parking ticket or a struggle to find a free spot in general. The right-hander signed a 5-year, US$110-million deal with the Jays back in 2022. He's expected to start game 2 in Toronto's three-game series with the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. The Jays are still at the top of the American League with a 69-50 record, despite losing three of their last five series matchups. The visiting Cubs aren't far behind with 67-50.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats deep-passing pivot Bo Levi Mitchell is about to guide his East-leading, 6-3 squad into Regina for Saturday's game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. So which quarterback is having the better season — Mitchell or Harris? That's The Big Question for this week. According to the league's complicated formula for rating quarterback efficiency based on completions, yardage and newsworthy quotes (just kidding!), it's Harris with a rating of 119.7. Although Edmonton's Cody Fajardo (119.6) is sneaking into the conversation, among quarterbacks who have started the majority of their team's games, Mitchell is fourth in efficiency rankings at 112.5 behind Harris, Fajardo and Ottawa's Dru Brown (113.7). A perfect ranking is 158.3. Mitchell leads the league with 2,856 passing yards and 21 touchdowns. It helps that Mitchell has started each of Hamilton's nine games, the only first-string QB in the CFL who hasn't missed any action. Harris, who missed one of Saskatchewan's eight games with concussion symptoms, sits fifth with 2,183 yards and second with 13 TDs. Mitchell is having a better statistical year. After playing 10 seasons with the Calgary Stampeders and winning two Grey Cups before being dealt in 2023 to Hamilton, it initially looked like Mitchell's Hall of Fame career was waning when he temporarily lost his starting job to Taylor Powell. Mitchell has bounced back impressively this season, attempting a league-high 58 deep passes while being intercepted a league-low three times. Harris is 39, four years older than Mitchell. Through 14 seasons with five CFL teams, Harris also has won two Grey Cups, but neither as a starter. He joined Saskatchewan as a free agent in 2023 and, after missing chunks of his first two Rider seasons with knee injuries, may be playing the best football of his career while maintaining a league-best 75 per cent completion percentage. Since thumping the hometown Montreal Alouettes 34-6 on Aug. 2, the Roughriders are on a three-game winning streak and coming off a bye week. Hamilton had won six straight before losing 41-38 in overtime to the B.C. Lions in Vancouver on Thursday.
