Hamels whines that it's hard to be "politically correct" after Bautista tore out his teams' heart and stomped all over it on the way to an amazing bat flip. Suddenly I'm completely at peace that the Cubs didn't trade for him.

And let's relive this amazing Bautista AB against the Orioles earlier this year (even though the fantastic bat flip gets criminally little footage):

I'm sure you know he follows back a bajillion people, but I thought it was hilarious when this college girl with a tiny Cubs blog almost started crying when she found out he followed her and started profusely thanking all of her followers because something like that wouldn't be possible without all their help.

Yeah, I didn't know that when he first followed me though. So I did get a little excited at first.

 

So when Ervin Santana started following me, I managed to remain calm.

I do not have a problem with a pitcher bitchin' about the bat flip there. It's about the most perfectly acceptable time to do a bat flip, but a pitcher who ends up on the losing end of that craziness is aloud to vent a little to the press. I don't want my pitcher tippin' his cap.

So I was debating bat flips with a Cards fan friend (that doesn't like them), but then he came across this...and I gotta admit, this is pretty boss....

It was a more a criticism of how shitty his complaining was. If he wants to vent and rage, fine, but don't wuss out and blame it on "political correctness."

i think you're nitpicking and reading too much into his word choice. he's just saying he's pissed and didn't want to/shouldn't say what he actually felt.

 

i would still like him starting game 3 for us. is that something that can still be arranged?

Hamels is dumb. He should be mad at his team for making 3 straight errors.

He probably was mad at them but smart enough to not admit it.

Then he's griping about not being able to complain about his own [expletive] ass team, which is delicious. Otherwise, what could possibly be too "un-PC" for him to say? These meatheads piss and moan about the unwritten rules all the time, or bitch about bad umping after a game. What a stupid goober.

No, it's real. It's verified.

 

He follows 573,000 people.

When Schwarber wins the WS with a big fat dong and uses his bat to club to death every player on the other team and half their fans, I expect every one of these talking heads to defend him
