Blue Jays get their payback against Cleveland from May... on social media

This past May, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in their series at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Following the series win, the Guardians made a controversial tweet that was later deleted on X.

A short caption of "America > Canada, objectively" probably wasn't the best idea given the circumstances between the United States and Canada with the tariffs.

Blue Jays mock NFL's Browns in tweet during game against Guardians

This past week, the Blue Jays and Guardians met again for another series, but this time at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. This time, the Blue Jays came out on top with winning the series, and the Blue Jays found a way to take a shot at the city of Cleveland like the Guardians did at the country of Canada. During the top of the third inning, Guardians pitcher Tanner Bibee made a pick-off attempt at first base that was bobbled by Kyle Manzardo. It would then lead to Myles Straw scoring from third base to extend the Blue Jays lead to 3-0.

It goes without saying that the NFL's Cleveland Browns are the "butt of jokes" with how long they've been bad for. Since returning to the NFL in 1999, the Browns have only made the playoffs three times.

The Blue Jays would mock the play with the caption "The search for a QB1 in Cleveland continues..." in reference to the Browns' quarterback situation. The Browns' Deshaun Watson has struggled with his play and he tore his achilles for the second time this past January. Watson is expected to miss significant time in the 2025 NFL season. Along with Watson, the Browns have had a huge history of starting quarterbacks with an insane 40 different quarterbacks who have started for the Browns
since the team returned in 1999.

Cleveland also has been made fun of before by many people. Arguably the most famous time was by former NBA player Joakim Noah when he said "what's so good about Cleveland" to the media during the 2010 NBA Playoffs.
