    Il go as far as to say that if something doesn't happen by Thursday it will trouble me a great deal but with all the Veterns on the club I doubt they will let it pass...

    Loss is loss with or without a celebration. Just go freakin win. Some of you are so Effing emotional. 100% of you would have had some stupid celebration if you hit a walk off grand slam in the bottom of the 13th. He was at home. He has every right to celebrate. Get over it. Some of you are babies I swear. It wasnt even that bad... go win now

    It's not about being "effing emotional" or "freaking crybabies" (weren't those terms a bit, I dunno, emotional?). It's about bush league versus good baseball. Act like you've been there before.

    Soriano better swallow dirt the first pitch he sees, or I'll be really disappointed.

    next time strike him out. he didnt do anything wrong. get him out if you dont like it. i dont think he showed anyone up. he just hit a game winning grand slam...and had a little fun. Valverde does the same thing ever other night.

    Considering he stared at home until it landed, walked up the first baseline pointing at the dugout, and then did that "You can't see me" thing all the way from second to home, yeah I'd say he might warrant a bit of retaliation. I mean, that's a bit far. Bean him.

    I'd be fine with everything except for the whole pointing thing. I realize you hit a home run, and I'm all for a celebration, but not when the celebration is directly calling out the other team. I don't get who he was pointing at? The other pitchers who held him to 0-5? Celebrate with your team, not at the opposition.

    Not early... Don't want to risk Oswalt getting ejected.

    We should aim for his family, always a better way to retaliate

    See. if I was a ball player, and I hit a homerun in the third inning that barely went over the fence, I would do something similar to that. Stare at it. Skip around the bases. High Five the first baseman. Play soduku in the dirt around 2nd base, do a spin around third, and maybe slide feet first into home, but real slow.


    why would i do this? cause it looks real stupid. make a mockery out of soriano.

    I mean I watched this live... but didn't see any celebration out of the ordinary. Maybe I missed it? I tried youtube searchin it, but can't find the video. Anyone got a link?
