chris.brock Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Your wrong in so many ways. You do not know me at all. I have the utmost respect for Canada and the Providence of Ontario, so much I have spent most of my vacations visiting/ fishing the last 38 years. I would expect comments like this from an American hater because you have made no bones about the way you feel. Dude, we're obviously both patriotic, don't continually slander Canada on a fishing forum from the Providence of Ontario. American hater, nope, but air that crap somewhere else.

American hater, nope, but air that crap somewhere else. Patriotism had nothing to do with my comment. You asked me to explain and I did and you went and twisted it. Simply put there was no need for people to throw things that could have hurt someone over a baseball game. Let's put the shoe on the other foot, what if you were sitting with your son in the stands last night and he was struck with debris thrown from the upper deck?

Headhunter Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Morons throwing crap from the upper decks were just that, morons. It could have taken away the joy of the victory had any cans actually hurt anyone. Reports are that only some beer srpay on the kids, which in it's self, is not acceptable. Hopefully in the next round, folks have a little better control of their emotions. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 you guys want to argue hockey go to the hockey thread... I am never going to agree with people throwing crap from the stands, but you have 50,000 people all fueled on emotion and alcohol there will always be a few bad apples that lose their cool, especially when you have no idea what is going on except for the fact that you just gave the lead to the opposition. (dont get me started on officiating influence in professional sports) Second of all, WHAT THE LITERAL HECK ARE YOU DOING BRING A NEW BORN TO THAT ENVIRONMENT????!!! if the jays would have lost last night because of that bogus call, things would have gotten much much uglier, i guarantee it. 3rd....LETS GO BLUE JAYS!

leaf4 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Netminder posted earlier he had tickets. And I don't get why people don't like dickey? He hasn't been as good as he was when he won the cy young in 2012 obviously, but he's pitched a number of beauties, even my good friend who breathes baseball and isn't a fan of him gives him credit especially pitching that beauty in texas! Also dyson can suck it! Who is he to tell someone what to do in their own barn in a game like that? Bat flip all day if you hit an hr like that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netminder Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Reading this thread (aside from the hockey crap that got stuck in here somehow) helped me relive this a little bit. Yes, I was there last night and that was the most insane thing I've ever been part of. Hands down. And trust me, I don't know how it looked on TV, but the beer throwing was just pure stupidity. I'm glad I was sitting under a balcony so there was no risk of being hit. One dumb girl in our section (200 level right field) decided she was done with her beer about 5 minutes after everyone threw theirs and was immediately pointed out and escorted by security/the police. I'm not sure if the kid in the front row was hit by the beer or just sprayed, but it was way too close. I watched the whole thing and was immediately terrified/disgusted. Why anyone would even try to throw something from 150 ft back in the upper deck behind home plate is beyond me. I was pretty sure there was going to be a riot if the game ended 3-2 and I was a little uncertain how I was going to escape TO. That all being said, out of a crowd of 50,000, even 0.1% of the population (50 people) doing that looks really bad. I was also a little nervous that if it got too out of hand they would even call the game. And I'm not uncertain it would have gone down similarly in any other stadium. But in fairness, no one had any idea what was going on. Everyone thought the umpire made the right call sending him back to third. But to send him home AGAIN? The fix was in, and we could only watch. And then afterwards everyone booed take me out to the ball game. That's when the baseball gods took notice. My father said we should just score 10 in the bottom half and shove it up their es. Russell Martin, the unfortunate recipient of that undeserved error should have been thrown out twice, and his pinch runner a third time. After that, there was no way we could fail. Donaldson tied the game with a blooper that would probably be caught 75% of the time. The crowd is insane. Such highs and lows. And then it happens. The bat flip to end all bat flips. Unfortunately I didn't see it in real time because I was too busy watching the ball fly out of the park and screaming at it, high five-ing anyone within reach. All I could say was, "Never in my life." Even this morning my hearing isn't right and my throat hurts. Instant classic doesn't even start to describe it.

ccmtcanada Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Was a total team effort on this one. Yes, Bautista is getting tons of attention, and he deserves it! Goins has been hitless this post season (0 for 17), but his two plays deep in the hole to deny hits stopped any kind of rally the Rangers tried to mount. Superman Pillar did it again too with an outstanding catch in the outfield. Martin, who was given an error on the weird play with Choo, threw out a runner at third base during a double steal. So while the Rangers defence ultimately let them down, our defence stepped it up a notch!! Onto the ALCS....let's hope there's less controversy in that series!! GO JAYS GO!!!!

Old Ironmaker Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Netminder, that is an experience you will remember and recant the rest of your life. Why one would bring an infant into a crowd of 50,000 people I have no idea. There are so many things that can go wrong especially in a win or go home game, COME ON MAN! If you think throwing beer is nuts you should have sat in section 26 at the old Ivor Wynne for Cat games in the 70's. The Homeside section we called it. Eventually each row had a Hamilton Cop responsible for it. They would throw empty whiskey bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheRabbit Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Why would bringing an infant to a ball game be a bad idea? It's a family venue for a family event. People need to hold themselves responsible and conduct themselves accordingly. Why is there blame upon the parents, when the beer tossers get a free pass to their bad conduct/behaviour? Netminder: That was an awesome recap and watching the game at a sports pub, was as close to as being there as possible. The confidence within the Jays group is immense! And the epic bat flip, from my point of view, is totally justified. Wasn't it only a few days ago when Holland took a Jays towel to wipe his ass? Rangers/media thought it was funny and now they're whining on Jose's bat flip and how it was classless act. lol I think the match up with KC is gonna be a big rollercoaster too. The last time they played against each other in Toronto, emotions were high on that too. Donaldson getting plunked and almost getting hit a second time, and Volquez only getting a warning. Madson plunks Tulo...no ejection. Sanchez plunks Escobar and he gets tossed out. Gonna be an exciting game! PS: Gotta feel for DeShields tho...two bunt attempts, one goes off his finger, the 2nd one the ball ricochets the bat and hits his mouth. lol Colabello had an entertaining "swing and a miss" moment. lol Edited October 15, 2015 by FrankTheRabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netminder Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I agree and disagree with the kids. Firstly, when they're small enough that they wouldn't need to buy a seat, maybe it's best to leave them at home. They'll gain nothing from the experience and won't remember it at all. But you're right, people shouldn't get a free pass because they've had a couple already. I'll definitely remember that night for a long time. Just remembering the Bautista hit makes me laugh out loud. The atmosphere, at least in my section, was great. With how electric it was from the bottom of the 7th on, I can't imagine what it will be like there if the Jays (knock on wood) win the World Series. I feel like I should get a 50% refund for my seat ticket because I don't think I used it for half the game. The series with KC is going to be something else though. Definitely not going to be any love lost between those two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
