I think this is a litmus test for sports fans. Did you enjoy watching Bautista’s display? If yes, then you probably enjoy sports not for its redeeming qualities but for its entertainment value alone. You likely also enjoy Ed Hardy t-shirts, double parking handicap spots, and plunking babies with full beers (which…

Canadian sports fans. Team hits 3 run homer? Throw trash on the field.

Team loses Stanley Cup? Riot in the streets and destroy a city block.

I hope you fucks get swept by KC

That makes no sense.

the juxtaposition of real ballers...like Joe Carter....to this stare, glare and flip, is ugly. this flashinpan gets paid 10x his value on the back of real ballers. eager for one to his ear in ‘16, if someone has balls to keep integrity for the game.

Well, it *is* the playoffs so, yeah, might be a bit of a gray area.

Fuck Jose Bautista. And fuck the Blue Jays.

that’s not a sentence, you dumb fuck. I have no idea what you’re trying to say to me.

I believe they call that an enema.

Don’t need a lip reader.

as a Yankee fan, GOD I love me some Pap. fucking hard nosed as fuck.

Papelbon seems like the kind of guy who would throw at his own kid in a father-son game.
