I understand that. I have a modicum of awareness of who Bob Costas and Billy Crystal are, and the kind of fans they represent. I wouldn't have brought it up if you hadn't cited the lack of discussion as evidence of the lack of fandom.

I don't know how to explain it, but I perversely enjoy maintaining a level of magical naivete when it comes to baseball. There's something about, even if you know all the players and their idiosyncrasies inside and out, sitting there and thinking 'maybe this time the pitcher will hit a home run!!'

Look at all the foolishness in the Jays Ranger's final game. That was bananas and nothing preceded it to clue you into how bananas it was going to get and how fast.

I don't like everything about baseball, but what I like is that, and analyzing it is like trying to write a mathematical formula for a great guitar solo.

I have every game on the TV, but I don't come here to post about them

Cool to see that one of us knows where Nickelback is from...I guess.

I have no issue with Canada or its people, but for the purpose of the 2015 ALCS -

This, completely THIS. Without the Royals discussion, I'd treat this place like an AIDS factory - would avoid

We're going to rape that team straight to the bottom of the toilet, where they can join their shitty worthless currency!

Not even IBM's Jeopardy-playing computer that kicked the shit out of Ken Jennings knows what the **** Toronto is!

This might be in another thread somewhere, but it seemed appropriate here....

Blue Jays fan arrested after hitting baby with beer during Game 5 fracas

Thanks to Wednesday's dramatic Game 5 win (TOR 6, TEX 3), the Blue Jays are going to the ALCS. The game came down to the seventh inning, which featured a wild go-ahead run for the Rangers, three misplays by Elvis Andrus, and a dramatic go-ahead home run by Jose Bautista.
Unfortunately, that seventh inning was marred by Blue Jays fans who threw beer and cans and all sorts of other stuff onto the Rogers Centre field following that weird play in which the Rangers took the lead. Fans threw stuff onto the field again after Bautista's home run.
According to the Canadian Press, one fan has been arrested after throwing beer and hitting a baby. A baby! Here's the story:

Toronto police say a man has been charged with mischief after a baby was hit by the spray of a thrown beer can at Wednesday's Blue Jays game.
Const. Victor Kwong says Albert Grummitt was arrested Wednesday night and has since been released. He is due in court on Nov. 24.
Police say the baby was with her mother in the front row of the Rogers Centre when the can was tossed their way.

The television broadcast showed a teary eyed woman protecting her baby in the front row, though it's unclear if they're the same people involved in the incident that led to the arrest.

I understand fans were upset over the call on the field, but good grief, don't throw stuff. It's dangerous, first and foremost. Also, it's embarrassing.
General rule of thumb: if you are considering throwing something because you're angry, don't. No good can come from it.

The way they littered the field with trash yesterday like Raiders fans, after an unquestionably correct call by the umpires, showed the level of class you are dealing with

Pablo · 10-15-2015, 12:41 PM

Hahaha.

Let them take out their own young with flying beer cans. Eliminate the future Jays fans before they can speak.
