I never had a problem with him showboating with his bat... cause frankly, he crushed everything...even though I'll sometimes get mad at guys like Ortiz and Pujols, who ALWAYS watch their shots... but they're damn good, so what are you going to do? But, I do have a problem with making a freaking routine catch, after only the FIRST out... and making a gesture that every single Dodger fan was making at him, when he embarrased their historic franchise like nobody ever has with his antics earlier this year, in that tirade. Also, never ever ever should anybody advocate hitting a guy in the head.... just brush him back a little... try doing it more than once... then he'll get the message, and throw another little tantrum.
I was hoping for our beloved Bagwell to save the day & heroically body slam Bradley to the ground during the postgame handshakes. Oh well, maybe tomorrow!?!
Am I missing something?? Post-game handshakes? I'm pretty sure the team that's pitching in the end high-fives each other, and the losing (batting) team just simply goes into the clubhouse from the dugout. If its any consolation, I'm sure Dodgers manager Jim Tracy (a no nonsense guy) would like to body slam Milton.
Look, it's late and normally I like to argue semantics like its going out of style. Handshakes/ High-fives between your teammates is what I meant, not the Astros shaking hands with their opponents and changing the course of baseball history. I was just thinking that it would be cool for Bagwell to appear leaping out of the corner of the TV screen and pummel Milton "This Ain't No Game" Bradley
Yea... i think i realized this after I posted... sorry about being "semantical." Honestly... we should all be at the ballpark tommorow and stand on the HR porch, and just drop little Monopoly/Life/Parchesi/Battleship pieces around him.... maybe he'll trip on a motel or the thimble or something.
Brilliant. I look forward to watching that on the big screen tomorrow! Just make sure you do it in the pre-game warmups because I don't think that Bradley will last past the top of the 1st inning after we bean him and the fighting that is almost surely to occur with our die-hard Astros
I loved this team not too long ago. I'm by no means a fairweather fan, but they are really pissing the crap out of me. I'm starting to really dislike them. Get it together you s***heads.
On top of it all, the chron is reporting that Ensberg's shot most certainly would have gone out, had the roof stayed shut. The fact that the roof had just rolled back influenced the carry of that ball big-time, according to Ensberg... for sure, the ball he hit way out there was hit better than the HR he hit in the 6th. That's just how the year has gone, I guess...
Nah, both teams shake hands now. Then they retire to the dugout and have juice boxes. And those with the cool parents get to go out and have pizza after the game.
I have more hate for the Astros right about now. Can't really be concerned with a knucklehead from another team when the home team is sucking it up.
You want to get Bradley back strike him out a couple of times and win the game. Besides why were Astro fans getting so excited about Ensberg's pop fly anyways? It was well hit but clearly was not going to leave the park... And where is the outrage over Ensberg's performance when he hit his 316 ft homerun?
ya think?? yeah, he may have hit it harder...but he also hit it to a deeper part of the field. i don't think the roof open or closed makes much of a difference in that park.
btw, what happened to bradley when he came up? did he get it in the ear as called for? i missed the game. hepabrothaout.
No... but they did retire him his first three plate appearnces, and each time they were with 2 outs. Thus, as they were going to commercial, Fox would run a split screen, showing him walking back to the dugout, and the clip of him finger-shushing the crowd from the night before... basically they're saying he got out "quietly." It was funny... then the Dodgers came back and won, and nobody cared anymore.
