Get over it, Toronto
ByThe Blue Jays carry a grudge like no other. They still won’t let that Alex Rodriguez pop-up incident die.
Last night, during their second straight loss to the Yanks, Toronto played an in-stadium promo poking fun at A-Rod. The Daily News has more:
In a video game promotion in the middle of the sixth inning, two Jays fans were playing a baseball game on the scoreboard screen, pitching to A-Rod. Twice they threw at him, missing once and hitting him once and leaving Joe Torre unhappy.
“It’s ridiculous,” Torre said after the Yanks beat Toronto, 4-1. “Some of the videos they have period, it’s all about violence. There are certain cities, one of our players gets knocked down and they start laughing and cheering. I don’t understand it.
The Blue Jays, in the past, have advocated booing Hideki Matsui for coming over from Japan and seem to have no class.
No matter; we’ll take it out on them in October. Oh wait. The Blue Jays won’t be playing in October and haven’t since 1993. Too bad.
Maybe we should have soemone drill Vernon Wells for the unsportsmanlike deception he used on that Damon sinking liner. He knew he didn;t catch the ball and acted like he did anyway.
when did the Blue Jays become such whiney bitches? seriously, their fans were chanting “steroids” at Giambi last night 3 days after Glaus was busted.
idioots.
After more than a decade of mediocrity, you’d think Jays fans would have learned some humility. Ah well. The rest of the world laughs at their pathetic team.
hey Joe, you have about 23 pitchers on the team, how about putting in Bruney tonight to drill Rios or Wells?
The fan who “threw at A-Rod” wore a RS hat and jersey. I wonder what would be the response if the promo had featured a virtual Joba hitting a virtual Youkilis in the head. Nah, the Yankees and their fans have too much class for that.
there are not enough pixels in the world to make a virtual Youkilis head.
I’m surprised Toronto still has a team.
Maybe we in the Bronx have been treating visiting Blue Jay fans too nicely. I think we need to fine-tune this level of hospitality in light of recent events. Oh wait I forgot – the Blue Jays don’t have any fans.
