Myself included, at least several people are terrified of Sammy Sosa these days.
Birdo

And if it’s something as dumb as “We don’t like that Cubs fans travel well and are very loud” there should be immediate firings.
That headshot wasn’t the only time they hit him or threw high inside on him last year, either. I really want to know why they are trying to kill Bryant.
Imagine this shit happening in another profession. Bud Black is lucky he’s a baseball manager because if he was this petty doing anything else, he gets fired before the first paycheck. Cole Hamels too, although in this case there’s some weird kind of hate against Bryant because the Rockies beaned him twice last year…
José Mourinho, is that you??
I’m excited about RB Frank Fumbleton’s explosive abilities.
Draymond is so here for this.
People are dumb. Celebrating achievements is awesome. Taunting an opponent directly is not. They’re two entirely different things and should be treated as such. Celebrating is not bad sportsmanship—that misconception needs to retire with Tony LaRussa and all the other unwritten rules mopes.
Teach lessons; getting angry about it is a failure in parenting. Take it as a lesson that the world is tough and you’ve got to work really hard if you want to be the best. And when you’ve just done something better than you’ve ever done before, celebrate your butt off—you deserve it! Just don’t taunt your opponent.…
I like to think of it as “Let athletes try to be their best and play their hardest.” Whether it’s a kid or a superstar—trying to be your best is the whole point. If you’re an opponent and don’t like it, get better and work to outplay them in the future. If losing hurts your feelings, use that chip on your shoulder to…
They weren’t pointing in their opponents faces and laughing, they weren’t brazenly taunting anyone. Celebration is not taunting. They are two clearly different things.
With these kinds of unwritten rules it’s shocking that Canada isn’t better at baseball.
If we stop celebrating the breaking of records what is even the point of sport?
Surely this would never happen in the gentleman’s sport of Hockey...
Unfortunately, that’s the arrogance of every 23-24yo white male who moves in from a suburb after graduating college and taking a tech job. And in too much of the Bay Area these days, they outnumber the natives. 10 years ago I would’ve maligned this type of stereotype and said there’s no way you can apply a blanket…
Certainly up there name-wise but not even in the same class as the Montgomery Biscuits.
I mean, goats yell goddamn nonsense all the time and won’t hesitate to headbutt you for something as simple as locking eyes with them. Of any fanbase out there this one might make the most sense for substandard humans to emulate.
And then realize upn isn’t even a misspelling of pun.
I hope KD comes back just in time to get blitzed by a Kawhi shoulder and immediately sits again.
