You shouldn't talk about facts when you're 100% WRONG. It was a triple. Jebus.

*Triple, get your facts straight

Oh you mean macho overcompensation.

And for everybody's viewing pleasure, I give you, the greatest home run pimp-imp-imp-imp of all-all-all time-ime-ime. Rickey Henderson.

He got lit up on that pitch and his fragile ego got the best of him. If he didn't get lit up on that pitch, he wouldn't have said anything. You're dismissed.

Gomez, Cole, whomever, baseball players are just idiots all around.

I'm all for the "3rd person out" rule. Let the 2 people involved duke it out and only allow coaches and umps to come out to break it up. That would make the pause caused by fighting quicker. I know hockey has plenty of bench clearing brawls, but potential bench clearing brawls are also mitigated by teammates sitting…

But it's okay when your job is to get hits and a pitcher gets a K in a tight spot w/ 2 outs to puff out his chest right??

Scold by pitching at or near a batters head? These leagues are trying to rid themselves of head injuries, and it sounds like you're advocating for it.

But again, how does this have to do with Cole or affect the Pirates' chances of winning. The answer is zero, which is why Cole's anger is so dumb.

What I will never understand is assholes like Brian McCann standing in front of home plate like he's Tank Man or something, awaiting the "out of line" baserunner to get there so he can bitch him out and be obnoxious. When did "standing in front of a runner and generally being a dick" become equal with "playing the…

One of the more memorable moments in the Metrodome was when David Ortiz crushed a ball into the stratosphere and stood there admiring his work.

Bingo. Contrary to the author's claim that the debacle was "sparked by Carlos Gomez"....Cole got lit up and his butthurt got the best of him.

The A's have already caught two helpings of this bullshit this season- Bo Porter dictating to the opposition precisely how much strategy they are allowed to employ in the first inning, and then some pitcher got all pissy when somebody had the nerve to stand in the box and stare at a potential homer that hooked foul.…

So he should assault Gomez with a fucking fastball to the head? You are a psychopath.

I wish Gomez would have cold-cocked McCann last year.

And I wish Cole would have said "Thanks for not going yard".

Fuck the 'unwritten rules.' If you're a pro and you don't like being 'shown up', be better.

When a pitcher pumps his fist and screams after a strikeout, he's a fiery competitor. If a hitter did the same thing after a home run he'd get a fastball to the head next at bat.

Cole Gerritt shuts his mouth, none of this happens by the way. Snider should receive a decent suspension too for starting crap when he wasn't even in the game.

Even in high school there's a concept of playing the game the "right way." I don't know when it started- when I hit my first (and only) homerun in JV, we acted like it was the best thing on earth (I weighed about 125 and it bounced off the top of the fence). The other team thought it was pretty cool, too. The next…

http://m.mlb.com/video/v3216455… Tabata did the same "pimping" (which is a stupid phrase) on a double earlier in the season. The Brewers players didn't start crying, they accepted the fact that Tabata did something and if they didn't wan't him celebrating then they should play better.
