But let's not forget what happened the last time (just two years ago) that the Giants started out as the number 2 wild card team...

It's an even numbered year (aka Giants year).

OK, I give up. Searched everywhere but where's the "Sport That Matters"?

• Yeah, I'm a south-sider...but at least I've seen the White Sox win the World Series ONCE in my lifetime. (My father was a lifelong Sox fan and he never saw that happen even once in his 69-year life.) I really would like to see the Cubs win it all just once, just to get it over with (and just so I can start booking a nice skiing vacation in Hell this winter...).

Yeah - go to Heck!

A shame that had to be overshadowed by the boorish behaviour of some local neanderthals.

Most wanted man in Toronto: Police identify alleged beer thrower at Blue Jays game



For the past couple days, Ken Pagan has been the most wanted man in T.O.

Toronto police issued a photo Wednesday afternoon of the man they identified as the beer-can tosser Tuesday at the Blue Jays playoff game at the Rogers Centre.

The photo is of Pagan, whose seat was in the section from where the can was tossed, and — in videos of the incident on social media sites — appears to toss something on to the field.



He spoke with police Wednesday night and made arrangements to turn himself in. Pagan has not yet been charged.

He is an employee of Postmedia — and formerly of Sun Media — an award-winning journalist and passionate baseball player and fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of the game.

Pagan, who was at the game Tuesday on a night off from work, said he had been advised by his lawyer, Frank Genesee, not to speak about the incident but did suggest the police may have it wrong.

“I was drinking out of a cup,” Pagan told Postmedia, and suggested Twitter photos that show him after the can was tossed clearly indicate he had a cup in his hand. “I’d love to tell you what happened and my story … but I can’t say anything.”

The controversy occurred in the seventh inning of a wild-card playoff game between the Jays and Baltimore Orioles.

Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim caught a deep fly ball just as a beer can flew out of the stands from the 200 Level seats and narrowly missed him.

The incident put a black mark on what was an incredible game, and elicited headlines and outrage not only in Toronto but across North America.

The Toronto Sun issued a $1,000 reward to anyone who could identify the “loon ball,” as he was characterized by Mayor John Tory.

Pagan said he was badly rattled by the “firestorm” and “finger-pointing” that raged following the game.

These less important sports fill time between hockey seasons.
