The Rangers are a bunch of cry babies. Boo Hoo , Bautista flips his bat. The low defensive skill of the Rangers was exposed. MLB did everything they could to Fix the games in Toronto,forcing the home team to close the dome .
The players fromTexas owe the good people of Toronto an apology for slowing the game down with all the arguing.
The craziest inning I ever saw was in 1965. Marichal going after Roseboro with a bat. Then Mays hitting a home run off Koufax.

Three future hall of famers. The best two pitchers in baseball.
Hard to believe but Marichal and Roseboro ended being great friends after their careers were over.
Hey Brojos why don't you guys find yourselves a real sport to watch. Baseball, yeesh.

This is why I keep coming back to this site.
On second watch, that almost looks rigged.
3 errors in a row after the messed up throw back to the pitcher.
Balls bouncing right out of gloves. A player missing a catch on a small pop up to second base. Interesting
Basically in Toronto (aka the six aka t-dot aka t.o. aka the 416) we don't fukc around.EVER! If you have never been here, don't come here!
We throw stuff on the ice at Leaf games and we will throw stuff on the field at Jays games just like we tossed water bottles at Justin Timberlake when he opened for the Rolling Stones.
so BASICALLY what I'm saying is effoff.
Toronto is to Canada as Philly is to America?
LET'S GO ROYALS

The throwing stuff wasn't the best, but it was an emotionally charged game where officials were making important, game effecting decisions. They shouldn't act that way but its kind of understandable.
Making game effecting correct decisions.

As for the Jays players, many of them were trying to get the fans to calm down and stop throwing stuff. So one of them got hyped after being clutch as hell and acted a bit aggressive in an emotionally charged game? How shocking.
Correct. The jays team deserves credit for that. Mainly it's just I hate Bautista as he's got a long history with the Orioles. I'm no different than your fans from the upper deck. I'm throwing the Internet equivalent of a beer at him.

Wait, is that ban going to include Newfoundland?
Of course not. Newfoundland is like a cross between Cape Cod and Maine. Everyone loves those vacation spots and plus you gave us one of the greatest dogs in history (Labrador). I grew up with labs so we still owe you guys. For the next 30 days, the attention we normally give to Canada will exclusively go to "Newfoundland and Labrador" athletes.
Can someone please tell us who the best "Newfoundland and Labrador" athletes are so we can start working on some profiles.

I agree with you on this one. Texas won game #2 due to a bad call. The American tv companies will lose a ton if there is only one American team in the World Series.

As I've posted before, it amazes me when track fans complain about baseball. The two sports are very similar. The point of the game is to run around in a circle, they both take a long time to play and there are a ton of pretty unimportant contests each year. Both sports are popular as they are excuses to sit outside, enjoy the great summer weather and talk.

Incorrect , I also work for one of the 2 major Sports Broadcasters in Canada. ( There are 2 , Bell, Rogers ) The US National advertising on Fox is already sold. If the current ratings are higher or lower it does not effect the price of the sold commercial spots. They do have "conditional sales" for advertising, like last night when a 3 hour game turns into a 4.5 hour game,and they get to keep running the commercials. They got the call right in the 7th.

Yep and Canada is officially inventing a way to embarrass the whole country. We've always been nice at LRC and thrown our neighbors to the North a lot of coverage - more coverage than they deserve given their results.
With that bat flip, Bautista officially proved today what we already knew - he's the biggest ass in the game. I'm going to propose to Weldon that we suspend all coverage of Canadians for 30 days as punishment for Bautista.
I hate that guy.
Seriously bro, what's your problem?
Reminds me of a fair/foul call that halted a Cubs-Reds game for half an hour in '84. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAhzFOBKrE8

Great link. Thanks for sharing.

In addition to the fact that the umps got the play right after being wrong initially, the throwing of stuff onto the field and into the lower seats continued after Bautista hit the HR giving the Jays a 3 run lead. Nice job by the moron Canadians.

The Beer can hit an American visitor. We in Canada are all OK . God Bless Canada.
who cares? baseball ain't a sport and you don't have to be an athlete at all to be a baseball all-star or hall-of-famer

Was shocking to see the American Beltre trying to get sympathy like a soccer player with his "bad" back. You would not see a proud Dominican do that.

I don't watch a lot of baseball, but I watched the highlights of this inning. I don't understand why the guy tossing the bat is such a big deal.
Sounds like ranger fans are just bitter their ball team got beat. Maybe they should get some more raucous fans and passionate emotional players like Joey Bats.
Also, the skydome should probably start serving beer in dixie cups instead of cans and bottles, nobody wants to see babies get hurt. With the exception of Dyson; nothing brings me more joy than seeing that guy cry about a bat flip. If he could pitch it wouldn't have been a problem.
