Our Mariners Just SMOKED The Red Sox While Boston Was Distracted By Bagpipes
Okay, so you think you've seen everything at a baseball game, right? Think again! This week, the internet blew up with videos out of Miami, showing Scotland's infamous "Tartan Army" absolutely taking over a Marlins game. Bagpipes, chanting, full-on World Cup vibes in Loan Depot Park! Wild stuff, truly. But here's the kicker: while the Marlins still managed to lose, you know who was also busy playing host to these passionate fans earlier in the month? The Boston Red Sox. And guess who showed up to Fenway Park and sent them home with an L? That's right, our Seattle Mariners!
Bagpipes, Free Beer, And Still A Marlins L? Wild Scene In Miami
Seriously, picture this: Scotland's national team is gearing up for their final World Cup group stage game against Brazil on Wednesday, and their "Tartan Army" supporters are already making their presence felt. After a Boston stop, they rolled into Miami this past Monday, and the Marlins, bless their hearts, even put together a "Tartan Army ticket package." Festivities were off the chain! We're talking a pregame march through Little Havana, a performance by Nick Morgan, who released "No Scotland, No Party" ahead of the 2024 Euro competition, and a first pitch from injured Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour.

One of them even snagged a foul ball! It was an electric atmosphere, pulling in 20,008 fans, which was the club's eighth-highest attendance this season. But even with all that energy, the Marlins couldn't pull it off, losing 4-3 to the Texas Rangers. Tough break, right?
The Emerald City Difference: How Our M's Handled Boston's Own "Scotland Day"

And get this, the parent company of Sam Adams even said their Boston Taproom ran out of Boston Lager after Scotland's first weekend there! It sounds like a total party in Boston, doesn't it?
