Down two games in their series with the Rangers, the Blue Jays must pull off three straight wins if they hope to advance to the next round. Much has been made of the officiating during the series, with many Blue Jays fans voicing their displeasure on a number of calls that didn't go their team's way. It's only natural for fans to feel that umpiring hasn't been in their favor when their team is trailing in a series. But one fan has taken their complaints to a whole new level, creating a petition for the RCMP to "investigate MLB for match fixing and conspiracy against the Blue Jays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 We may or may not win, but let's whine about it in a courtroom, the location where only the best sporting events take place. Pretty funny really. Johnson. Alvarez. Put a hold on that murder case while you two investigate a few seconds of MLB replay video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 To be fair, the game 2 umpire hates the Toronto Blue Jays and was heavily favouring the Rangers. The other games were fine. There is no fix in the MLB, just a biased umpire who shouldn't be allowed to coach another Jays game ever again. Some say he was high fiving the other team and overheard him saying "we got this boys". Idk the validity of that, but it's something to think about. It's not the MLB that has it in for Toronto, it's Carapazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsedin33 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This may sound trite, but despite all the money and hype, it's still just only a game. Some people need to chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Goblin Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Fixing games have been around since horse racing was established in Ancient Greece, Babylon, Egypt, etc. Usually people with more power and money have more say in what goes down, especially considering the gambling industry and how it affects any sport.

Apple Juice Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 If the Jays advance to the next round, think of the viewership and money the MLB could make from Canada alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Well they scheduled every game during the day so I think the US networks want to see Texas win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Considering the Jays forced game 5 with a pretty thorough beating yesterday, I'd say things are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Sounds just like CDC around playoff time... It does but we never once asked the VPD or RCMP to investigate the NHL. that's as low as it gets. We just kick and scream at canucks.com. They went straight to the RCMP omg.
