I was at both Mets-Dodgers games in NY and the fans were screaming for Chase Utley's head. Yet there were no bottles or trash thrown onto the field. I can't remember the last time I saw fans do what Toronto's did today.

Former Atlanta Braves closer John Rocker was not a New York Mets fan.He was accused of being racist, homophobic and sexist after his infamous January 2000 Sports Illustrated interview, but it is sometimes forgotten that he also expressed his feeling about the Mets and their fans. "Nowhere else in the country do people spit at you, throw bottles at you, throw quarters at you, throw batteries at you and say, 'Hey, I did your mother last night — she's a whore.' I talked about what degenerates they were and they proved me right." When Rocker made his first appearance at Shea Stadium on June 29, more than 700 police officers were at the ball park instead of the usual 60. There were limits on beer purchases and there was a protective cover over the Atlanta Braves bullpen. Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 10-14-2015 at 08:32 PM.

I was at Citi on Monday also and the venom unleashed at Utley was pretty over the top. Yet instead of retribution, the Mets did what you are supposed to and let their play do the talking...and as far as bat tosses, if you have an issue with Bautista, then where were you with Cespedes?? He launched his bat 15 ft in the air on his bomb. But as Jeff said, nothing was thrown onto the field, and what the Toronto fans did was a bad move. Even when Gonzalez hit a HR and the ball was thrown back, the PA announcer said that fans should refrain from throwing things for the safety of everyone and they could be immediately ejected from the stadium.

I understand the frustration with what Utley did, but doing that changed the game for LA. They aren't playing for the championship series tonight without it. So as much as I don't like what he did, I'd want him doing it for my team.

Utley did what he needed to do. There was no way that DP would probably have been converted. I agree with Sean on this. Utley also never tagged second haha.

Regardless if the play was called correctly or not, there is no reason for fans to resort to throwing beer bottles. There are no excuses, is classless, and undeserving of celebrating going to the Series let alone winning it. " Joey Bats " needs to act like he's hit a home run before. Classless move also, throwing the bat and showing up the opposing pitcher. Bigger and more meaningful homers have been hit before, without drawing attention to themselves like Bats did.

This thread went 100 different directions. Each poster going on a diatribe ignoring the post before it. Reminiscent of the old Facebook political posts. We all take a position and thats the end of it. Totally useless.
