Jays' A-Rod goof angers Torre
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. The Blue Jays have a history of tweaking the Yankees - before the 2003 season opener, they ran an advertisement in Toronto papers that showed a Yankee cap soiled with bird droppings. The ad also encouraged fans to boo Hideki Matsui, who was making his Major League debut after coming over from Japan in the offseason.

The Yankees apparently can dish it out, but can't take it. Anybody who's ever been in Yankee Stadium, near the visiting bullpen, will know what I mean.

And let the gamesmanship begin. The bottom line is the Jays are in what place and how many games out?

Those funsters up in Toronto never stop!
I read someplace they swiped Jeters Venus Razor and he couldn't shave A-Rods legs!
Talk about mad!

Don't pay attention to Larry. He's clueless. Anything he says is a joke.
Why the **** is this a story? So they hate the Yankees. Join the club, Toronto. Too bad when October comes, they won't be joining the Yanks then.

At the Skydome, the Jays run videos between innings making fun of the Yankees.
At Yankee Stadium, the Yanks run videos of highlights from the previous week, month, year and century of winning baseball.
I'll take the latter.

What a bunch of babies! Right, it's all class and respect for opponents at Yankee Stadium. And you wonder why the Yankees are the most hated (rightfully so) organization in America (and probably overseas).

Wow, you yankee haters are really childish. Did your sneaky uncle lock you in the closet and touch your no no place or something???

It's not about gamesmanship or about being sad about getting dissed. Its about class, that which the yankees have and that which the blue jays have never possessed, especially under gibbons and ricciardi.

It's irrelevant, they're Canadians. I'd be upset as well if the only thing I was known for was Terrance & Phillip fart skits.

All I have to say to the Blue Jays is this: "Look at the standing!" Both the Red Sox and Yankees are leaps ahead of them in the standings. When was the last time the Jays made the playoffs?

And people who use the phrase "rightly so" sound like pompous arrogant Englishmen. " Rightly so Monty, two lumps please."

I wonder if A-Rod, Jeter, and now Torre all shave their manginas together?

There's a big difference between fans razzing the visiting bullpen and the team actively promoting that kind of stuff.
Besides, if the Blue Jays need promotions and local media to assist their fans with not liking the Yankees, they don't deserve to have a team.
