    I wish he hadnt hit that homerun, but I gotta admit that his stare was pretty tight. They just lost 7 in a row, he hits a monster home run that ends up being a game winner....so I cant blame him.

    You don't admire your work. That's bush league. You never saw Bagwell or Biggio do that. You don't see Jeter doing that. You never saw Ripken doing that or Will Clark. That's bull----. Get your ass out of the box and trot around the bases and go sit down, or I'll dot your ass next AB.

    Poo-holes' homerun gaze is pretty bush league.

    I had never noticed how bad it was on that Lidge homerun until they showed a replay of it earlier this month when we were in St. Louis. Nothing makes me happier than remembering he looked like me in his very next AB.

    come on Brewers, we need you to win at least one of these games to force a Giants/Cards makeup, (all while the stros win out, naturally)

    That's the one thing I really admire about Ensberg. He doesn't watch and he sprints around the bases like it's an inside-the-park job.

    I thought that was just because he was a dork.

    Baseball has got soft. In the old days Don Drysdale would have put the first pitch the next time Poo-holes came up in his ear if he showed him up like that.

    Yea I was just watching a replay last week a Biggio homerun recently (against Reds or Phils) and noticed he pretty much looks at the ball for a second at most. He just shoots his head down and starts jogging. I knew he did that, but didnt realize how quickly he does it.

    I thought it was more fun making him look like a 6 year-old girl when Oswalt faced him the very next time.

    Calling him bush league, yet spelling his name "Poo-holes"? What...did you run out of "yo mama" jokes?

    Of course, we're message board posters, not professional baseball players.

    So we're holding fans on internet message boards up to major league standards now eh?

    You're in deep doo-doo then, A-trizzle.

    I'm just not sure why everybody is getting worked up over something so inconsequential that it's almost laughable.

    I've been watching baseball as long as I can remember. I've seen "bush league". I've seen pitchers throw intentionally at batters' heads, I've seen a player spit on an umpire, I've seen a player chunk his bat at an umpire. A player doing the baseball equivalent of holding his arm up an extra two seconds after making a three pointer doesn't even come close.

    What Pujols does after HRs is what players have been getting beaned for through the years.

    If you tried to bean Pujols he'd probably just catch the ball in his bare hands and flip it back to you.

    it's pujols. sure it really doesn't matter if he puts his head down and runs or stands and stares at his crap, but as an astros fan i'm definitely biased. pujols is enemy number one and this sure doesn't make him more appealing.

    i'm spoiled by the astros, call them panzies or whatever, but they play the right way.
