Off Topic: Rangers vs Jays

[Shoeless Moe]

Sounds like some Yankee fans are bitter they got beat by the Astros.

Pretty much every fan group has bad apples, believe me the Yankees fans are among the worst, and you guys cheer on your steroid cheater so shut yer yap!!!

[dealme]

I don't believe it's possible for a team with David Price in their rotation to win the World Series.

Don't agree with the actions of some fans, that was not cool. But I like the dramatic pauses and bat flips by Encarnacion and Joey Bats on the home runs. There not showing up the pitcher, there doing if for the fans!

Get ready for round II of the Stro-Show!

I must agree with Moe on this statement!

Didn't a Yankee fan chuck a chair at "his own teams" player.

"A story like thats gotta be true."

Yankee fans and class doesn't really go in the same sentence unless there is "less" behind it.

Didn't a "Yankee" fan do that to Maris in the summer of '61?

paul,
What team do your root for? I'm sure your team has or had a steroid cheater on it also. And today's game has nothing to do with the Yankees and Astros.

I'm partial to the '75 Reds


And a quote from Justin Verlander:

"What an incredible series!! That emotion is what #postseason is all about. Love this game!"


Enjoy it Brock - don't worry about a few beer bottles and a bat flip.

I am not a Jays fan, but I couldn’t blame the reaction of the Toronto Fans, because if they had lost the game on such an absurd play, that would have been a travesty. I don’t condone the bottle throwing – as that was very dangerous – but if I was a Jays fan in those stands I would be going crazy too (we all would whether we thought the call was right or not).

As for Bautista, I enjoyed every second of his stare down and flip - pure entertainment, which is what I tune in for. (but if it was my team he did that against I would hate him and despise his actions .) You have to realize the emotion of that moment and the entire game.

As far fans cheering cheaters - every fan for every team does it if the player is on your team. Boston and LA fans cheered Manny Ramirez, SF cheered Bonds, Milwaukee cheers for Braun…and so on…(remember Dodger fans wildly cheering for Ramirez from "Mannywood" in left field even after he was suspended 50 games for PEDs?)

The fact is if they are on your team you cheer pretty much unconditionally (if your team is winning), and if they are on the other team you hate, despise and think of every way to bash them.

what joe said!

I don't see a problem with someone flipping a bat. Why does a team get so upset that they throw at a batter? Because he "doesn't respect the game"?

Hockey players celebrate every goal, basketball player mug for the cameras after every dunk, but in baseball you can't celebrate a homer?

As for Bautista, he was probably thinking "this is what you get" after that run scored in the top of the 7th. I know I was thinking it.

[Shoeless Moe]

do these playoff games seem more emotional then ever....I think I read of the teams remaining someone is going to break a drought of a minimum of 22 years (or more), maybe that's partially why.

Couldn't agree more! I'm a Pirates fan and I know when Schwarber hit that monstrous home run in the WC game and stared at it I thought he was a jerk and can't stand him now haha if I was a Cubs fan I would've loved it. Then watching this game as an unbiased fan, it actually got me pumped up when Baitista did that. All about perspective in my opinion!

[Iron Horse]

Baseball is a game of tradition and unwritten rules. I think the stare and the bat flip was a bit excessive for the 7th inning. If this was the walk off home run that won the game then i get it.
I think one can be a little more classy in victory.
As to the fans, i get it but dangerous to throw bottles which may seriously injure someone.
I don't know, maybe i am old school lol
Should be a good series

[snider4prez]

Holy sh!t like baseball was not boring enough the the rest of America besides us old nostalgic farts! Please bring the drama back this post season has been amazing!!!!! Go Dodgers!!!!!!!

Well said.....a lot of people are unhappy with Jays success this year and they feel they still have a lot to prove. Look at Harold Reynolds and his idiotic comments about Canadians not knowing how to catch a ball.......anyone see the Yankees fan miss three foul balls in one game???

As for Bautista......can you imagine the emotion the team was going through after the incident with the catcher missing te throw and hitting the bat leading to a run that put Texas in the lead.....Holy cow.....can you imagine if that game ended up 3-2 final.....crazy.

I'm Canadian and yes classless fans throwing junk onto the field is inexcusable but I can guarantee it has happened at every stadium in every sporting event.

What Joe said...except that I am a Jays fan, and have been since my Pops took me to the inaugural game in 1977.

Jose's bat flip was a cathartic gesture, shaking off 8 years (his) and 23 years (Jays fans) of frustration.

The "fans" that threw beer cans should be embarrassed. I attended Game 1 and 2 in Toronto and despite a terrible strike zone being utilised by the umps, nothing like that happened. The team have seen their share of band-wagon jumpers, that don't understand the game and are there to get drunk and party, like any successful team. Pls don't paint the whole fanbase and town with this brush.

Good luck to KC...they will need it!

Nothing new here...

OCTOBER 19, 2004

Fans throw items onto the field after Alex Rodriguez #13 of the New York Yankees was called out on a tag at first base by Pitcher Bronson Arroyo #61 of the Boston Red Sox in the eighth inning during game six of the American League Championship Series.
