Comments for Triple Plays & Walk-off Home Runs (or, Why You Should Go to the Ballpark) at http://www.wezen-ball.com , comment 1 to 4 out of 4 comments http://www.wezen-ball.com Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:08:53 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.wezen-ball.com/2009-articles/september/triple-plays-a-walk-off-home-runs-or-why-you-should-go-to-the-ballpark.html#comment-52 You're missing the point. As far as I'm concerned it has nothing to do with sensitivity to the other team. I couldn't care less about how the losing team feels. It has to do with being a professional. These are not children playing a children's game. These are professionals in their place of business being paid millions of dollars to perform their jobs. Winning baseball games is their job. It is not a juvenile endeavor. If the Brewers want to behave like a bunch of jackass fratboys instead of professionals, that's fine, but I don't have to appreciate it. Fielder is the same player who tried to start a fight in an opponent's clubhouse after a game this year. He's a meathead and he's classless. Professionalism earns respect and the Brewers deserve no respect from me. - Hey, Blue!

I guess I just don't understand how rational people who root for the Barry Bonds' and Manny Ramirez's and Albert Pujols' of the world can so easily get their panties in a bunch when another team celebrates as a team (sure, this particular celebration was over the top, but it's not degrees worse than what the Yankees do or any other team does). If the Dodgers or Giants showed that kind of comradeship, I'd be hearing all kinds of crap about how they're such a great group of guys. Oh, and let's not forget the poster *and* bobblehead that came out of Manny's game-winning grandslam in July... I just don't get why this bothers people so much and, you know me, I'm the biggest proponent there is of the "How did the other team feel?" mindset. (Now I'm afraid I just opened the floodgates on a topic that I just don't care about as much as some other people...) - lar @ wezen-ball Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:17:54 +0100 http://www.wezen-ball.com/2009-articles/september/triple-plays-a-walk-off-home-runs-or-why-you-should-go-to-the-ballpark.html#comment-50 As you know, I'm no Giants fan, but I'm with Ryan on this one. That celebration was classless and unprofessional. Hey Milwaukee: Act like you've been there, Meat. - Hey, Blue!

But hey, moral victories for a team 15 games under .500 is good right? Tell Prince to watch his head next time he's up against the Giants. - Ryan Gainer Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:43:42 +0100
