    So your hatred boils down to literally one person on the team and two beer throwing incidents. 8-}

    In that game? It was one. I was watching it.

    There are hundreds of examples of fans in stadiums throwing things. European football fans have thrown fire crackers, smoke bombs.Ever hear of Philadelphia? :p Batteries and snowballs! The 2012 wild card game in St. Louis? Tons of bottles and cans. Come on. Toronto fans in general are pretty tame.

    I'm pretty sure she was also referencing Game 5 against Texas last year, hence the two incidents.

    What about the Jays fans caught having sex in their hotel room during the game?

    Not to me but it probably bothers the straight laced.

    It happened in the early 90's. The couple thought it was a 1 way window!

    It is tough to go after entire fanbases. I mean, we (KC) brawled with the Rams fans at their place at the end of August. Any Rams fan who was at that game likely goes around talking about how awful KC fans are, when it's really only a handful of delinquents.

    The one and only exception to this rule, of course, is Flyers fans. Repugnant bunch.

    Anyway, Cowboy Joe West has been inexplicably selected to the ump crew for the World Series. Prepare for controversy.

    What about Angel Hernandez? Doesn't he also have quite the reputation for controversy?

    Nanaki You really love 10 cent beer night, don't you? You've brought it up, like...5 times now or something [face_laugh] I always loved hearing my parents talk about it when I was growing up. Even got myself a 10 cent beer night shirt from one of the local t-shirt companies.

    Yes. Angel Hernandez, Joe West, Laz Diaz - your three best cases for getting rid of umpires altogether.

    Ah yes a World Series with two "cursed" teams, lets put Joe West in so he can try and put the spotlight on himself.

    Speaking of ridiculous subplots for this Series...



    Because I can't get enough, even when I disagree with him -as is the case here-:

    lmao but damnit why couldn't they have done it last year!


    Also lol @ Marlins Man, as if being a Miami fan crashing Cleveland events was ever going to engender goodwill

    Is that McClelland guy still an active umpire? He's the guy who busted George Brett and Sammy Sosa in the Pine Tar Incident and the Sosa Corked Bat, respectively.

    I've seen all three Pearl Jam shows at Wrigley Field. All were amazing.
