Off Topic: Rangers vs Jays

He consistently does that. I hope if he does that against KC (or the Astros) he gets a fastball in the ear.

It's entertainment. It seemed well within the bounds to me.

You're right. The game hasn't been the same since the Massachusetts rules fell out of favor, and they banned soaking.

Nostalgia is ever thus.

Nothing like that display of can and bottle throwing in Toronto could ever happen in Texas (or Yankee Stadium) if the situation was reversed. Texans and Yankee fans are way too classy for that. Toronto fans are beasts, everybody knows that. Yeah.

The Jays players were not classless. When his arms and bat were above his head Encarnacion was very clearly making a "settle down" gesture to the fans, and then he was accosted by the Ranger pitcher who had just thrown the gopher ball to Bautista. Emotions run high in games like these. I don't blame either team.

Does sound like sour grapes to me.

Worst fans are the Dodgers. After Bryan Stow is almost killed after a game with the Giants, now a Mets fan is hospitalized after a mother and a son beat him in the parking lot after Game 1.
