He's resting for the Orioles' next game.

He owes me an avatar bet!

 

[Lexxism]

still waiting on Chuck to resurface

He was nowhere to be seen after his "I got a bad feeling" post. Or he's probably analyzing if O's should use Britton on the 12th inning.

Reyes - 3B

[gamz]

Really can't wait for this game tonight. Should be a good one.

 

[KingBroly]

Giants will win 4-0

 

[Beckx]

Hopefully Mets strategy includes just staring at Bum after every at bat.

Hopefully Justin Ruggiano is in the dugout to give out some tips to the Mets hitters.

 

[BigJonsson]

Jays vs O's bottom 11 is on Sportsnet if anyone wanted to watch it again

 

[baxter2231]

Hopefully Mets strategy includes just staring at Bum after every at bat.

When he goes to the mound everyone should be on the top step staring at him. He will be flustered.

The higher the baseball stakes, the more indifference to basic decency

There is no place in the world I would rather be than at the ballpark. Even with all the anxiety and uncertainty of the Blue Jays’ do-or-die wild-card game against the well-matched Baltimore Orioles Tuesday night, there were moments where I relished how beautiful and relaxing a place it can be. Even when the game is at its most postseason stressful, the ballpark can be a buoying source of solace and comfort for so many. At its heart, baseball is an escape from the more terrible aspects of our day-to-day lives, a kind of secular church where we come together and faithfully connect over the triumphs and struggles of our team.

And yet, there are those who forget the fundamentally congenial, communal nature of baseball fandom. They think it’s just about their experience, and disregard their fellow fans, and the generous spirit of the game.

They are the guys to my left in the 200-level who spent much of Tuesday evening spouting obscenities, homophobic slurs, and making “fat chick” jokes. They are the guys to my right who were happy to yell racist garbage at opposing players, and who repeatedly touched our section’s usher without her consent. And they are whoever thought it was a good idea to disrupt a crucial seventh-inning play, during the most important game of the season so far, by tossing a beer can at Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim.

As someone who goes to the Rogers Centre on a regular basis, disrespect for the ballpark atmosphere, the players who populate its field, and the fans who cheer them on isn’t a new phenomenon for me. But it always pains me to see it.

I do take issue for the writer continuing to reference that bogus myth about the beer can being thrown at the baby during last year's ALDS, but otherwise, this is a good opinion piece.

Giants will win 4-0

Mets win 3-2.

 

[Silver Arrows]

One thing I know will be about the NL WC: it will be close, and it will be a one run game.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I predict Giants over Mets 5-3. I expect the Mets to score at least 2 in the bottom of the 9th.

If Mets can hold it close and get to the pen....That's the game.

 

[BigJonsson]

I've met many people in Toronto who think going to a sporting event in Toronto means you have to get drunk and swear a lot, and anyone who disagrees isn't letting you be a real fan.

If they had more security they would be able to identify these people a lot faster and kick them out for intoxication or whatever

Hell no! Even the grounds crew has their fans.

 

[BigJonsson]

Heh, according to MLB.com expected win-loss record the Jays should have been 91-71 this year, and the Rangers should have been 82-80

Gotta love run differential lol

That is what happens when you win a bunch of one runs games. Rangers made it common place.

Their pitching is atrocious.

I guessed that exact score earlier today with Angel Pagan with the dagger.

 

[MultiJhonny]

I can't believe that I am a Mets fan tonight... I feel so dirty.

But the even year must be stopped

Yeah that wasn't a bogus myth. It actually happened and a guy was arrested

James Loney will lose this game for the Mets.

100%

 

[baxter2231]

James Loney will lose this game for the Mets.

100%

If they lose i feel it will be because of the stolen base it is such a massive weakness even slow pokes run on the Mets.

 

[KingBroly]

No, it's you who will be getting out.

Of the Playoffs!

 

[JaMarco]

These win or go home play in games are fantastic. Basketball and hockey should do stuff like this.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Someone tell Taylor Swift to release an album STAT!

 

[Silver Arrows]

Thinking about the beer can incident...I wonder how Korean media is making it out to be? Considering one of their own ballplayers that made it to the MLB was the target of this attack, and subsequent racial slurs?

 

[Choomp]

James Loney will lose this game for the Mets.

100%

b honest are you green loney amazin avenue guy

 

[GK86]

Loney or TJ with the difference maker tonight.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I hope Bum has the worst game of his life.

 

[Fuzzy]

Fuck this asshole.

On Tuesday, October 4, 2016, at the Rogers Centre, during a baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles, a beer can was tossed from the left-field stands onto the playing field.

Investigators from 52 Division have been working closely with the Rogers Centre to identify the person responsible.

An image of a man, police are alleging to be responsible for this incident, is attached.

Investigators are strongly encouraging this man to seek legal advice and turn himself into police. Anyone with any information on this man, is asked to contact investigators at 52 Division by calling 416-808-5200.

It's been confirmed to be a woman however?

It's been confirmed to be a woman however?

Some guy on YouTube confirmed it to be a woman.

The police confirmed it to be this guy.

Who you going with?

Edit: There is a much clearer video available, and it clearly shows the guy in question tossing the can sidearm.

 

[The Elite]

Seem like they gave him a few hours to turn himself in. Clearly that wasn't going to happen. As someone who has had beer thrown in him at the Rogers Centre I hope this fucker gets caught soon.
