Baseball Pissing Match

Still think he's a self-righteous prick.

When he quits taking pictures of his homers from the batters box, he can then preach about baseball etiquette.

If Pujols had whipped out a camera from his back pocket and taken a picture of the HR he hit off Brad Lidge in the playoffs a couple years back, I would have been okay with that.

Well played.

[TallTitan34]

The most likely to LITERALLY pull out a camera and take a picture of their homerun:  Manny Ramirez.  I'm not a fan of players admiring homeruns but I'd love every second of that.

Personally, I love a good bat flip rather than admiring a homerun. Jacques Jones comes to mind with the left handed bat flip. Big Papi in the first WBC had some nice bat flips as well.

Also Milton Bradley is a fool because he does a bat flip when he walks. That's only ok when someone (MarqPTM) does it in co-ed intermural softball.

Just jealous.

I undo the straps on my batting gloves when I hit a homer in my beer-league softball games.  no one seems to get as angry as when milton did it.

Try riding-the-bull with your bat to first base.  That'll probably get a rise out of them

Just walk around the entire basepath.  No jog, no trot, just a strut.

Zambrano does not live in Winnetka.

Abducted the dog and drove to Winnetka.

2 years ago a player on my team slid into home once when he put it over the fence... needless to say the other team was pissed.

[TallTitan34]

A few days ago some one hit a walk-off homerun (I think for the Orioles) and slid into home to avoid the mob. 

I like this method.  Obviously the walk-off is an exception but this is an excellent way to PO the other team!

Things have calmed down here during the All-Star break.  Let the pissing begin again tonight!

[robmufan]

Is there any other painful day besides yesterday?

CUBS ARE BANKRUPT.......

Cubbies start the 2nd half on the road against the Nationals one game behind the Crew.

The Brew Crew start on the road agains the Reds.

The Cards start at home against the Dbacks.

All three teams at or above .500 playing teams under .500.  May the team that's geographically closest to MU win!

Could be the best business decision ever, if it happens.

A smart move? Sure. Best business decision ever? Maybe overstating it just a tad.

Probably, but the possibility of dumping Alfonso Soriano's contract gets me giddy.

LOL! Ummmm...no, that's not what it means, and there is no way on God's green earth that MLB would let them do that. My understanding is all that it really would mean is that creditors cannot come after the Cubs once the are spun from the Tribune company. ie, at that point, they would be their own entity, with no obligation to Tribune Co., debt.

This is nothing more than an attempt to make the sale go through quicker and more cleanly.

Find something you like about Sorry, because he is a Cub for 5 1/2 more years.

Ummm...yes, it could very well mean this. Bankruptcy would allow the Cubs to liquidate contracts, if they choose to. It would be the court's decision, not necessarily MLBs.

There was a nice article about the possibilities in the Trib a week or so ago. I'll have to find it.

MLB would never let that happen, and the players union would have a crap fit.  sorry, that would set a TERRIBLE precident.

this gets my vote for the dumbest comment in the thread... and there have been some DOOSIES.
