Well, no personal offense here, but let me just say I'm glad the Brewers don't play like that. When Prince got all worked up a couple weeks back against the Pirates and started taunting, I thought it was forgivable because they nearly took his head off the night before. Otherwise it's classless and unnecessary. One thing that's always stuck in my craw was the way Andujar "gunned down" Gantner during Game 7 of the '82 World Series, and doing things like glaring into the other team's dugout and slow trots, while not as overt as that, just strike me as bush league and obnoxious. To change the subject: At this point it's fine to slap a dog across the face when you bet him. I've never heard this phrase before.
