The Blue Jays were involved in a contentious playoff home game for the second straight season last night. And for the second straight season, parts of their fanbase looked like human garbage on an (inter)national broadcast.

As Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim tracked and got under a fly ball near the warning track, a fan with terrible aim threw a full, unopened can of beer at him. He missed by a few feet, and the beer exploded on that luscious outfield carpet of theirs. Adam Jones wasn’t happy. Replays showed him yelling some choice words towards the direction of the can thrower. Jones had already been dealing with it all night:

“Sorey, I’m just yelling because you’re playing the team I like eh, but why don’t you go back to your country you [redacted].”

This is far from the first time Torontonians embarrassed themselves at Rogers Centre.

Last year, during their ALDS game against the Rangers, Blue Jays fans tossed trash, beer, and more onto the field and stands. Announcements were made in the stadium for everyone to stop. Blue Jays players screamed from the dugout at their own fans to stop. The game paused. Someone hit a baby in the lower level with a beer. When I wrote about it as it was happening, I joked that it would be forgotten because it wasn’t in Philly. One Jose Bautista bat flip almost buried it forever. Now here we are again, because asshole Canadians looked in the mirror and remembered their true identity.


Canadians still just seem so nice, but all that Rob Ford stuff suddenly makes a ton more sense.
