In a dramatic turn of events, Sportsnet's Jamie Campbell wasn't about to let Michael Kay off the hook after the Blue Jays pulled off a stunning four-game sweep of the Yankees.

During the postgame show on Thursday, Campbell took a subtle jab at a "certain Yankee broadcaster" who had previously dismissed the Blue Jays as a legitimate first-place team. Holding a broom triumphantly, he declared, "I can think of a certain Yankee broadcaster who is going to have to go on his show [Friday] and admit that the Blue Jays are a first-place team, because the standings prove it." The comment was a clear shot at Kay, whose remarks had stirred the pot earlier.

This season started with the Yankees flaunting a strong lead in the AL East standings, but things took a swift downward spiral. After a commanding performance in Toronto, the Blue Jays managed to not only tie for the division lead in their third game but also secure sole possession of first place with an 8-5 victory on Thursday.

Just the day before, Kay had sounded off during his radio show, arguing against the Blue Jays' claim to the top spot. He pointed to a significant disparity in run differential—claiming the Yankees boasted a +105 while the Blue Jays, despite a solid run, barely cracked a +4. "The Blue Jays are not a first-place team, I'm sorry," Kay insisted. "They should be a .500 team because of a +4 run differential."

As the Yankees head into a critical Subway Series against the Mets this weekend, the pressure is mounting. They've lost 14 out of their last 20 games, with a struggling offense that even Aaron Judge has failed to ignite. Coupled with inconsistent pitching, the Yankees are facing an uphill battle.

The drama between the Blue Jays and Yankees continues to unfold, and it looks like Campbell and Kay will have quite a bit to discuss following this latest twist in the AL East showdown!
