    It wasn't the posing, it was everything that followed it. If we're following the Unwritten Rules of Baseball©, then shouldn't Gomez have just been plunked during his next PA? The whole blocking the plate thing was a really stupid tough guy act. Yeah it was, but in this case it was the less ridiculous display, by far. I have no love for the "unwritten rules", but I'm not sure there is precedent for the crazy-eyed lunacy that Gomez was perpetrating. If McCann had walked down the third base line and punched him in the mouth, I probably would still have thought he was being less of a douche than Gomez was. I'm fine with a little staredown and watching your shot for a couple seconds, but Gomez did around the bases was on a whole other level, maybe a couple levels. It was bizarre, and all because he had been hit in the leg a couple months ago. Yeah, I'm wondering if there was more to it or if he's just nuts. I don't think I've seen anyone sustain that crazy of a look for that long since Artest.

    How much of his low BABIP is due to luck vs. factors likely to be predictive of future BABIP struggles is sort of the million dollar question, though. He's swinging at about the same % of pitches in the zone and making contact with about the same proportion in the zone as last season. He's also laying off more pitches outside the zone and taking walks at a higher rate. But his LD% is down significantly. Is this a mechanical thing?

The whole blocking the plate thing was a really stupid tough guy act. You don't think trotting around the bases yelling god knows what at everyone as you pass isn't a stupid tough guy act either? Either way, this is where I wish MLB was more like NHL. Let 'em fight if they want to act macho. It was definitely dumb, but it's trash talk at the end of the day. I don't really understand why trash talk is sacred in, say, basketball, but reviled in baseball. If you truly have issue with it as an opponent, just hit the dude the next time he's at the plate -- preventing him from touching home was a new level of meatballery and McCann should've been ejected.

    Am I the only one who didn't think the posing was that big of a deal? Bonds would do more than that on every home run for Christ's sake. Showboating is generally awesome.

    Was the pizza artisan, at least?

    And then they turn to Wright and talk to him about...Cutler running over that dude. When he wins a ring the narrative is going to be how he learned from the NFC Championship and how it taught him how to be a leader and all that [expletive].

    Jay trying not to crack up talking about tonight's trucking. Tafoya trying SO hard to make it into something.

    Uhh those were both TDs

    Dalton is horrible.

    That's not your favorite baseball team-- that's a cellphone!

    I mean non morons. There were a lot of people who knew Tebow sucked, because they weren't morons, but also thought Brian Kelly was doing something knew and revolutionary and nobody would be able to stop it. He didn't get the job.

    Maycock cannot correctly pronounce the names Eric ("urrick") or Berry ("burry").

    Their o-line is getting man handled, that's why they're rolling out smith and throwing tons of short routes and dump offs. Similarly, Vick isn't playing well at all, but the Chiefs defense looks like it might be pretty good too(22 points allowed in 10 quarters). They're aggressive, that's for sure. They were showing a lot of press man in passing downs last week vs. Dallas.

    The same type of weirdos that don't use the urinal at the office, but go in the stall.

    I wonder how many know that Cutler has a higher career rating than both Eli and Flacco.

    Sure, I was just responding to the article's mention of "Chicago-influenced beers". It's silly. Are you saying Goose Island is not a Chicago influenced beer? No. I'm poking fun at the phrase "Chicago-influenced".

    Alright, calm down. It is a Chicago beer brand. It's readily available throughout NY and NJ and for that I am thankful, because it is good and I enjoy it. There are better choices that are actually still made in Chicago.

    Similar to the Nike "Write the future" World Cup ad.

    Goose Island is an upgrade, but their latest marketing insistence that they're a Chicago beer is pathetic. They are owned by St. Louis and brewed in New York. If the Cubs were serious about offering local craft brews they would have picked one of the many qualified candidates that's actually from here. Selling out has its benefits, but there are consequences as well. Goose can't have it both ways.

    Cinmates!

    [expletive] yeah!

    Wow, no timeouts left for the Bengals
