Well let's see if the building is still standing after the game. The fans may implode the whole place. Win or lose.BigSoxFan said:
I was in Montreal for the final weekend of their 2002 season (2nd to last in Montreal) when Vlad was stuck at 39 HR, 40 SB. It was the final game of the season (and maybe Montreal's last...2003 wasn't certain, yet). "Will he be a 40/40 man?" That was the question everyone was asking. He hit a bomb to right field and it hit near the top of the wall and landed in the field of play. It was ruled NOT a HR. The fans went absolutely berserk. I've never seen so much garbage thrown on to a "field." Players were taken off and the game was delayed for several minutes.
Canadians.

I don't care, I just enjoyed one of you pointing out that Price always ragged on Ortiz for bat-flipping, and now he cheers his own teammate, who does the same thing.mikeford said:
Maybe, but did you see the Youtube of the Maple Leafs fans couple years ago as they were blowing the big lead to the Bruins. Pretty stoic, and hockey is THE Canadian sport.strek1 said:

There were street riots in Montréal in 1955 when Rocket Richard was suspended for the playoffs.

I really need to understand how Fox execs can listen to Reynolds and think he should continue to be on the air. McCarver was awful but I could see how some people might think he wasn't. With Reynolds there can be no debate.
Agreed. And this crowd is insane, perhaps literally.BigSoxFan said:
I hate the Jays when they play the Sox, but watching Bautista crush that ball was just a joyous baseball moment.
I have a steak dinner riding on the Jays winning the WS so I don't care how douchey they win.
I went to a Sox series in Toronto back in 2004. I have a lot of respect for those fans. Great baseball city.
The playoffs have been outstanding so far and we've still got two more game fives and we're not even into the championship series yet in either league, let alone the actual World Series.
"Only an ALDS", but the Rangers can put this one next to the 2011 world series for choke jobs.
Yeah I've seen that swing before. Don't miss it. Thanks for 2013 but don't miss him now.PhilPlantier said:
My thoughts exactly. It's already been a hell of a postseason and we have three weeks left.54thMA said:

Anyone willing to take a stab at it? Even a brief summary? Just tuning in now.
Given the level of craziness from the fans in this game I'm wondering if they'll have anything left if they go all the way - there's still another 8 wins needed...this is just the DS!
I feel nothing but contempt when I see David Price. I really hope he doesn't end up on the Sox.
Edit: Not really. I've rooted for worse.

The shot of all 100 people in that loge sections holding their phones up was depressing as fuck
Texas has postseason choking down to perfection.
I picked TOR but really wanted Texas to win.
Now I'm going to root for Houston even though they too will lose.

I'd give good money for someone to approach Odor in the clubhouse telling him, "You got a call on the dugout phone, some guy Rothstein."

There's something to be said when teams don't make the LCS for a long time. The fans are really hungry and passionate. Glad they didn't bum rush the players.
