Is tito getting s*** on for int. walking the winning run or nah?

 

God no. I think that was the right call. Rizzo is on fire and you set up the double play. He's trying not to give up the go ahead run in that situation.

[G-Snarls]

Well s***, 17 people were killed in Chicago just over the Halloween weekend. That's ridiculous.

Oh yeah, it was the right move

 

Maddon is the one getting ripped today even though his team won

 

LOL

I'm surprised Chicago doesn't get the reputation that Detroit once did

[Brownie19]

 

That is amazing. Period.

[G-Snarls]

Clip has gone viral

 

I love it

I know

 

The crime rate seems insane there now

Chicago is also the 3rd biggest city so your going to get a lot of homicides just on how many people there are in the city.

 

The South side certainly seems pretty bad though. But like every city including Canadian ones you have your good parts and bad parts.

Chicago has a pretty horrible reputation. But it has enough good parts to make it a worthwhile city. Detroit is just a dump all around.

That's exactly it

 

I love Chicago. As long as you stick to the magnificent Mile area, the lakeshore and the loop it's pretty nice, clean and seems safe.

Yeah - that was my experience there. I felt completely safe and we were out walking around the City at night (at times). I think they average 2 murders a day though.

The game on FOX had average audience of 40 Million viewers and on SN in Canada 2.7 Million (doesn't include the Canadians that watched on FOX).

 

Pretty great. Most watched baseball game in 25 years and outdrew the Cavs-Warriors game 7 last year by 10 Million.

More Canadians (~4M) watched the Jays wildcard game than game 7 of the world series. I think that's pretty interesting, most people in Canada are primarily Jays fans and not baseball fans

Does this really surprise you?

[Mittens87]

I think it's weird people can't appreciate baseball if their team isn't winning. I read one Orioles fan say baseball is boring if Orioles aren't playing. I follow all teams, don't mind too much if Jay's are sucking, you get used to it

Keep in mind that "some" Canadians were probably watching the Fox feed to avoid Buck Martinez.

That does not surprise me at all. There are a lot of jays bandwagon fans and if they slip next year numbers will go down again.

2.7 million for just Sportsnet alone is pretty good. I think that beats the Warriors-Cavs game 7.

MLB is turning in to a regional sport. I tune in to the playoffs but even last year the WS didn't interest me much. I almost never watch a regular season game on TV unless it's the Jays in which case I probably watch 80% of them. I think a lot of fans around the country are like that.

I watched it on FOX last night.

I would be curious to see how low they could go for the Jays? I can't really see it going to much below 600,000 to 700,000K a game, with the momentum gained in the last two years.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

well for the wild card i went out to watch it...

 

my wife and her sisters watched the game...they know nothing about baseball at all...

I watched the SN feed throughout the World Series, enjoy Vasgergian's play-by play and Buck IMHO is a very good color guy. He's good when he is able to pick his spots and provide insight; but falls apart when he has to carry the broadcast.

[vdubmvp]

I wonder how many players consider umpires their co-workers. I'm sure some do, players like Tulo and the like who value their relationships with them but I'm sure a lot of players would only truly consider other players their co-workers and would only show reluctance to criticize players not the umps. Since it's really not an unfair criticism in the first place, I don't really see the big deal. It's not like he's airing out dirty laundry or anything. He's just calling it like it is from the safe distance of retirement.

 

Some can't be bothered to wait until retirement.

 

Former A's are the best people on twitter.

As an American fan, I wish we had the option of Martinez and Vasgergian here in the States. Joe Buck and Smoltz were brutal all series. Every game was like a Cubs local broadcast. That was one of the biggest reasons why I was rooting for the Indians to win.

Recently started listening to 1410 in BC, only sport network on radio I know of. Some guy named rich eisen couldn't say enough of how amazing Joe bucks broadcast was. I thought it was ridiculous how when Indians would make a play in the field, he would be all over how good the Cubs ground ball was. I loved the enthusiasm from Matt V though.

[Mittens87]

I developed a strange relationship with Cleveland the past few months. Started with frustration when they couldn't beat Boston in August, couldn't beat Detroit when we needed them to. Then rooting for them when the Red Sox played them. By the time we played them it was hard finding things to hate. Then full on rooting for them against the Cubs, felt about as depressed when they lost we when the Jay's would blow 2 run lead in the late innings.
