Haha, that is actually pretty hilarious.
I still don't see how Diaz turned the tables on the heckler.
That place was loud. And it was glorious.
Yes. Refer to the strikeout of A-rod to win Game 2 of the 2012 ALDS. It sounded like a space shuttle had been launched from center field inside Camden Yards.
it was probably his mom...
Easy. NLDS game 2. My friend shouts at Puig when Freddie came to bat, "HEY PUIG! YOUR MOM VOTED FOR FREDDIE!"
I always refer to the ump as "Tuesday." I will let him know what I think about his call after every pitch.

Of all players, Gardner? That's hilarious
I think it was that, and also the fact that they hadn't been to a playoff game in so long. They wanted the win so badly, they decided to try to be a part of the team.

I like to imagine he was actually an Astro's fan and was trying to support Bourgeois.
Yeah, Carlos is good people. Always love when players can roll with heckles and give a little back - makes it more fun when they aren't spoil-sports!
If the heckler wanted to really be accurate, he would have said "UP WITH THE PROLETARIAT, DOWN WITH THE BOURGEOISIE!"

My favorite line to use on umpires struggling behind the plate is: "Flip over the plate and read the directions."
Right. Thanks for good catch.

I can't imagine. I've been to about 10 MLB games (not near any teams) so its rare. I could only dream of a game like that. That whole city was fired up to see that. How can you not root for them?...
I was there, it was deafening, and when he dropped the ball at first, the crowd absolutely erupted. It was magic

Didn't watch that game but Oh. My. God. What a fantastic crowd to play in front of.
This was over 10 years ago, so not very likely
I heard it at Dodgers stadium when the Rays were in town at Wil Myers
I'm pretty sure I heard this at a Yankee game, targeted at Jeter.
I came to this thread too late, so I'm just going to post mine under your comment because it's somewhat related. About ten years ago I went to a D-1 college baseball game. We were sitting near ...

Ugh. Just when I forgot about that.
That was a 3-run shot off Matt Guerrier with a full count to right-center. For some reason that's the home run I remember most of any I've seen.
Once heard a Mets fan tell Jason Bay to go back to Canada for three innings. That was fun.
Damn right. Heckling Burrell from the Diamond Club seats at the CPB is one of my fond Phillie memories!
I'm pretty sure he never even wore a home jersey.
Weird way to break the news...
CUETO! CUETO! CUETO!
The dimensions of Petco Park must be much smaller than reported if you can hear hecklers from LF during your AB.

Will Clark always struck me as someone who is probably a butthole.

I remember once actually being excited about Langerhans in 2009.
Jason Kubel's brother-in-law is a real dick
I think this joke went over my head. But I do like it when people cap off a heckle with "bitches" at top volume.
I love that the announcers acknowledged it. I also love how he has such a Chicago accent.
Did you have kids with you? I admire your waiting for the lulls strategy but those were some prime times to bust out the PG-13 and you kept it PG.
