Blue Jays Fans Fighting Blue Jays Fans At Game 3 Of ALCS

blue-jays-fan-fight-alcs-game-3

You know how much enjoyment I’m getting watching the Blue Jays take L after L after L in the ALCS? I can’t stop enjoying it and laughing. And this is coming from a Reds fan who definitely doesn’t want the Indians to prosper because then Cleveland jerkoffs just continuously run their mouths. Yes, I’m rooting for Cubs-Indians in the Series and a Cubs win. I want the Indians to be the team with the longest streak.

That said, I can’t help but enjoy Canada imploding before our eyes. The good ol Canadians who love nothing more than to lecture Americans on their behavior just imploding before our eyes. Throwing beer bottles onto the field. Making embarrassing signs to attempt to rattle the Indians. Lecturing the Indians on their mascot.

And last night…the ultimate implode. Blue Jays fans throwing bombs at each other in what appears to be the 100 level seats. Dropping f-bombs (dirty…dirty mouths…you’re better than this Canada) on each other. Acting like animals.

Hasn’t been a good week, Canada. One more L and you can start caring about the Leafs and producing more Property Brothers & Holmes Makes It Right episodes.

So sad:

Meet Blue Jays Fan Natalie Gauvreau

We used to do this thing on BC where we’d find the hottest fans of teams in the playoffs and then post about that fan, create a little buzz for that woman and the game. Then, at some point, we started to get away from that format because there was a new wave of BC readers who’re so sensitive to a hot chick being posted on a blog. There’s a whole new generation of readers who literally get all nervous that there’s a hot chick on a website. You been to Playboy lately? They have literally scrubbed the entire site of hot chicks.

The one thing I’ve learned over the nearly nine years since I started BC, it’s that when the Internet heads in one direction, you head in the other. That’s the BC way and it has worked so far.

That brings us to Natalie Gauvreau – Toronto Blue Jays fan. She’s our ALCS Game 4 Girl. That bad news for Toronto is that the Jays are down 3-0. The good news is that I made an editorial decision to bring back the playoff girls. That means you get to meet Natalie, a Canadian native who was raised five hours north of Toronto (example: North Bay, Ontario is four hours north and it’s in the middle of nowhere), says in her bio that she eats “everything and anything” and “in high school I got sent to the principals office daily for violating the stupid dress code!”

Now she has nearly a million IG followers and a modeling career.

More from Natalie’s bio:

• Favorite shows: All the Real housewives shows, The Bachelor

• Loves getting massaged

• Florida Panthers fan

• Has enough onscreen experience to have an IMdB page

Meet Blue Jays Fan Katie Lynn Page

katie-lynn-blue-jays-6

I said on Tuesday that we were going back to posting hot chicks for the MLB playoffs since other sites out there won’t do it these days. Like I said, when they zig, we have to zag. So that meant Natalie was featured for Game 3 and the Blue Jays won. Today it’s Katie Lynn Page’s turn to be the miracle worker. (I’m rooting for Game 7s and then for the Indians to win in 16 innings.)

Katie Lynn is much more active with the Blue Jays gear than Natalie. She seems to be on an every three months routine with the BJs gear and even more active now that it’s the playoffs.

What do we know about Katie Lynn? She lives in Toronto, spends a bunch of time in the U.S. because we have beaches and Vegas. It looks like she used to work as a Budweiser Girl. It also looks like she’s spent some time in Calgary doing the country thing.

This is the beauty of being an IG model. You can literally leave the bio behind and just be this random IG wearing Blue Jays gear. One thing could lead to another and you’re featured on 5-6 blogs across the U.S. and end up as a Vegas pool waitress or one of Manziel’s weekend slam pieces.

We Had Our First Fake MLB Fight Of The Season This Afternoon

0
0

Every baseball season we’ll get one or two real fights with real punches being thrown. Last year’s biggie was obviously Rougned Odor blasting Jose Bautista in the face. But outside of that we’ll have dozens of fake fights. That’s when a couple guys start jawing, their teammates hold them back a little bit, and the benches clear without anything actually happening.

Our first one this year comes from this afternoon’s Blue Jays-Rays game.

No punches thrown, no real shoving, just a lot of “hold me backs”. A classic baseball “fight”. Not even one ejection.

If baseball wants to keep our attention this early in the season, we need to see some hands flying.

Blue Jays Fan Who Threw Beer at Hyun Soo Kim Banned From MLB Games

0

Last October, Blue Jays fan Ken Pagan momentarily ruined Canada’s friendly reputation when he lobbed a beer can at Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim during the AL Wild Card game. In case you don’t recall this bad moment in sports fandom, Pagan actually came pretty close to nailing Kim:

Pagan, a former sports reporter, faced justice for his actions on Wednesday as he was hit 12 months probation — details from The Toronto Star:

Pagan was given a conditional discharge, which means he will be spared a criminal record if he complies with his 12-month probation.

The Crown had sought a criminal conviction, arguing it was needed to send a message of public deterrence.

Under terms of his probation, Pagan must perform at least 10 hours of community service a month.

He is also barred from attending any Major League Baseball games. The Blue Jays have already banned him from the Rogers Centre.

What has Pagan been up to since the beer throwing? Well, the report notes he has worked as a pizza driver and janitor so yeah… you could argue that the man has been punished enough.

Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae Unfortunate Recipient of Orange Gatorade Shower

Field reporters get drenched with sports beverages all the time, but Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae really got it bad this afternoon when reliever Ryan Tepera absolutely misfired on this orange Gatorade bath meant for first baseman Justin Smoak.

And when we say got it bad, we’re talking a whole lot of sugar water right in the face:

You know it’s bad when she can’t even finish up the interview. She had some thoughts on reliever Ryan Tepera’s aim:

On the plus side, Jays players will probably be mindful to never let this happen again:

Former Blue Jays and Phillies Ace Roy Halladay Dies in Plane Crash

Former MLB pitcher Roy “Doc” Halladay passed away today after crashing his ICON A5 aircraft into the Gulf of Mexico. The Pasco Sherrif’s Office confirmed the grim news:

Additional details on the crash (via ESPN):

Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said during a news conference that Halladay’s Icon A5, a small single-engine aircraft, went down about noon Tuesday near Holiday, Florida.

The sheriff’s office marine unit responded to the downed plane and found Halladay’s body. No survivors were found. They said they couldn’t confirm whether there were additional passengers on the plane or say where it was headed.

Halladay became a flying enthusiast in his post-baseball life, and showed off the purchase of his ICON A5 on Twitter last month. He said owning one of these was a dream since he retired:

Go on Halladay’s Twitter page and you’ll see a lot of his recent tweets deal with flying:

As far as Halladay’s accolades are concerned, you guys already know the deal: Eight All-Star Game appearances, two Cy Young Awards, pitched a no-hitter in the postseason with the Phillies in 2010, etc. Basically he was a beast, and was so from 2001-2011.

The statements from the Phillies and Blue Jays:

Our lone Halladay story on BC:

Russell Martin And His Man Bun Took A Beating Today

0
0

Listen. I’m all about trying your best and all that jazz, but Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin should probably temper it down as we draw closer to Opening Day. He doesn’t need to be risking his body for worthless spring training games like he did this afternoon against the Phillies.

As you can see above, Martin showed off his defensive prowess and tracked down an Odubel Herrera pop fly in foul territory. The one problem? He had to crash into a net that was protecting some Phillies coaches in the process. The Canadian hero almost walked away unscathed, but the netting tripped him up and a pole came crashing down onto his face/man bun:

Martin, now 35, only played in 91 games last season due to an oblique injury. He still put up a respectable slash line of .221/.343/.388 with 13 home runs.


Watch: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Smashes Walk-Off Home Run At Olympic Stadium

I normally wouldn’t bother to blog about a walk-off home run in spring training, but come on, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. obliterating a pitch at his father’s old stomping grounds of Olympic Stadium? That’s the type of stuff that will make you believe baseball gods are a thing.

As you can see below, the people of Montreal were treated to the happiest of endings Tuesday night as Vlad Jr. capped off the spring with a moonshot off Jack Flaherty. The fact that it came against the Cardinals should make some folks irrationally happy.

Going out on a limb here: this might make up for his favorite ice cream machine disappearing from the stadium.

For those not up on their baseball, Vlad Jr. is a blue chipper and is a consensus top-five prospect…

ESPN’s Keith Law: No. 2
Baseball America: No. 3
Baseball Prospectus: No. 4
Fangraphs: No. 3

Fun fact: MLB Pipeline likes him so much they graded his hit tool an 80, which is apparently the rarest of feats.

A curtain call in spring training. Why not?

Looks Like The Blue Jays-Rangers Beef Is Alive And Well

0
0

Rougned Odor has been a trash player since the 2016 season, but he’s still quite productive when it comes to trolling Blue Jays.

Yes. Odor’s nemesis Jose Bautista is long gone, but ill will towards their star pitcher, Marcus Stroman, was evident Saturday night. As you can see below, Odor showed up Stroman during one of his at-bats and both mocked his delivery and delivered a little crotch grab in a bizarre sequence:

If you’re wondering why Odor has transferred his hate from Bautista to Stroman, it’s probably because of this tweet post-Bautista KO punch:

Honestly this show of bravado is a good move on Odor’s part. He’s hitting just .194 to start the season so it’s probably best to distract Rangers fans with Blue Jays hate.

Blue Jays Twitter Promises Monday’s Game Won’t Be Cancelled… Game Now In Jeopardy Because Of Falling Ice

The Toronto Blue Jays have missed their last two games in Cleveland due to rain at Progressive Field, but Canadians need not fear for the elements ruining plans this week. Their Jays are back home for a three-game series against the Royals, and nothing can stop baseball from being played with the Rogers Centre having a roof.

Blue Jays Twitter smugly announced “today’s game will be… played as expected” because of said fancy-schmancy roof:

And even promised a fan a baseball game Sunday:

Fast-forward a couple hours and Blue Jays Twitter and CP24 has some bad news:

Obviously bummer news for Jays fans hoping to see a C- matchup between Eric Skoglund and Jaime Garcia, but it’s probably not worth risking people getting buried by falling snow:

Looks like there are also leakage issues:

Report: Blue Jays Closer Roberto Osuna Arrested For Assaulting Woman

0

It’s a tough week for Toronto sports. Obviously the city is in mourning after their Raptors got swept away by Team LeBron, and now there’s bad news on the baseball front with Blue Jays closer getting arrested Tuesday morning for assault.

Details from The Athletic:

The Toronto Police Service is withholding details to protect the identity of the alleged victim, said Constable Jenifferjit Sidhu.

Osuna, 23, has been released and is scheduled to appear in Old City Hall Court on June 18.

Constable Sidhu said police would not release the location or nature of the incident, “not because he’s a baseball player,” but because in all cases of this type, such details might lead to the identity of the woman, which is protected.

While Toronto police is keeping the identity of the victim private, TMZ reports the woman is in a relationship with Osuna.

The Blue Jays announced in a statement that Osuna has been placed on administrative leave:

I can’t remember what year it was when a Buffalo radio station had me on to talk about drunken Blue Jays fans, but it was at the height of Jays fans going absolutely nuts with drunken antics that usually includes fights in the stands, people puking on each other, doing ridiculous things while cameras are rolling and being some of the most interesting fans in baseball from a content perspective.

The good news this year is that the Blue Jays open at home — AGAINST THE TIGERS — and I have a feeling today is going to be yet another big content production for Jays fans. The Leafs are looking good. The Raptors are the Raptors. It’s time for Blue Jays fans to step up and stay weird. These are the cheapest sports tickets in town so that usually brings out the beer drinkers who get pummeled to the point to where they turn into content generators.

I was looking through the BC archives and it looks like I started focusing on Blue Jays fans in 2011-12. Here we are all these years later and the content just keeps rolling in.

One of the Blue Jays classics & that’s saying quite a bit because these fans are a treasure https://t.co/j3a0gmaL0Y

Blue Jays Catcher Reese McGuire Arrested For Whacking Off In Florida Parking Lot

Poor Reese McGuire, the Blue Jays catcher who was arrested last week for indecent exposure in a Dunedin, Florida parking lot. Not only did the guy get arrested, but the arrest report over all this has been released and we now know that he was (allegedly) whacking off in his car while a porn was on his phone.

According to WFLA’s report, cops found McGuire at 2 p.m. last Friday naked from the waist down and there was an “extremely pornographic” video on his cellphone. “I really shouldn’t have been doing that,” McGuire reportedly told cops when asked why his pants were down.

TMZ goes even further and added the whacking off part from the arrest report. The guy is 24, found himself playing in 30 games last year for the Blue Jays after being a former 1st round pick and working his way all the way up to what should be more regular action in Toronto and now he has a whacking off charge on his head and in his Google Search history.

Of course he’s innocent until proven guilty, but something tells me this one is going to be settled with a fine and orders for Reese to stop whacking off in Florida parking lots. The state is weird enough as is and he doesn’t need to make it any more strange.

More from TMZ: They claim in the report when they got McGuire out of his car, he “had an erection which was very apparent.” Maybe the guy was just hard over the start of the baseball season. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
