  1. The narratives in the national media (with some exceptions, certainly) are pretty laughable. Gomez in no way stood at home plate and stared at his shot. He flipped the bat (which I suppose includes standing there for a second) and immediately started trotting to first base. Everyone starts trotting slowly if they either a) think they hit it out or b) think they made an out. Additionally, people are saying that Gomez started swinging his helmet, using it as a weapon. No. He was holding his helmet during the yapping. The one time the helmet was raised up was when the umpire was holding Gomez back and Gomez moved to free himself. He had to lift his arm up to get free of the ump, the arm that happened to be holding the helmet. Once his arm was free, he dropped the helmet and went at it. I do agree that, with the exception of Bryce Harper, the players who get criticized for antics are overwhelmingly Latino. I also don't think that's a coincidence. Should Gomez have just dropped the bat and started running? Yeah, probably, but whatever. Who cares? Should he have not gotten so mad when Cole jawed at him? Certainly. But if Cole doesn't cuss him out and if Snider and company don't come charging out of the dugout, nothing would've happened. Really, Gomez should've done this when Cole yelled at him: http://i.imgur.com/tWp8Z.gif
  2. Oh man, that would've been the perfect opportunity for Braun to just go full heel on the Pirates and MLB.
  3. All baseball players are babies. They get their feelings hurt over nothing so much more than players do in other sports. Circle the bases too slowly on a homer...feelings hurt. Run too fast on a homer...feelings hurt. Bunt at some mystery point in the game...feelings hurt. Have fun playing baseball...feelings hurt.
  4. Too early for Estrada to drill someone. Can't get him ejected. But I suppose maybe later.
  5. Because of the tremendously positive response to Lepay's call of Braun's 9th inning homer, I just watched the clip. Can someone explain what was so special about it? It was a perfectly fine job of announcing, but it was pretty standard. Not being in Wisconsin, I don't get to watch/listen to all the games, but when I have, I have been impressed with Lepay. That said, I don't see how he's some godsend compared to BA. BA is an excellent broadcaster in multiple sports. Now, if there comes a time when BA goes national full time, then hell yes, bring on Lepay.
  6. See, if we would've traded for Ike Davis and not signed Garza, we'd be winning this game right now.
  7. See, if the Brewers would've traded for Ike Davis, Garza would have a no-hitter shutout right now.
  8. Epstein has only been with the Cubs for 2.5 years. Give the guy a chance to fix all the crap (not that we want him to).
  9. The way FSWI showed Lepay's Twitter handle "@MATTLEPAY" makes me read it as "Matt will pay!" while shaking my fist.
  10. I wouldn't say "concerned," but yeah, both he and Davis have looked like they don't understand how to hit at the major league level this year.
  11. Guys, guys, let's not forget that Estrada was the stupid losing at-fault player of the game. His 3-run, 1.00 WHIP outing just gave the team no chance to win. None, I say.
  12. And for years, my brother and I would mimic the seemingly unnecessary dive by Yount by catching ball THEN jumping on the bed in a moment of pure drama.
  13. BOOOOOO CHEEEAATEERRRRRRR!!! (channeling the guy from Philly)
  14. You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have...the Facts of Life.
  15. Video delivers. Just watch.
  16. I'd like to see Wang extended. Sorry, just had to get a Wang joke in here somewhere.
  17. Somebody needs to slip Roenicke a Viagra so can get Wang up.
